The US President Donald Trump held a news conference at the NATO summit in the Netherlands today, where he touted the success of the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, writes CNN.

“Last weekend the United States successfully carried out a massive precision strike on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities and it was very, very successful”, - Trump said. He added that the strike paved the way for a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran.

He also used the operation as an example of how the US has reasserted “the credibility of American deterrence, which is like no other”.

Trump said the US will meet with Iran next week about a potential nuclear agreement, though he said repeatedly that he doesn’t believe such a deal “is that necessary”. Trump added that his administration would be asking for the same type of commitments it sought in negotiations with Iran prior to recent heightened tensions in the Middle East.
