Donald Trump faces growing challenges at the White House following a major military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, which has sparked global shock and controversy.
In a national address, Trump called the precision strikes on Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan a “spectacular military success,” aiming to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat. The move drew swift backlash. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called it “outrageous” and warned of lasting consequences. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and China condemned the action, while UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed the region’s volatility. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu praised the attack, calling it historic.
At home, Trump’s base largely stands by him—but not without dissent. The far-right Proud Boys, once strong supporters, warned they’d withdraw support if the U.S. gets involved in the Israel-Iran conflict. “America First does not mean war for Israel,” they posted on Telegram, urging Trump to focus on domestic issues instead.
