Trump Orders Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Sites, Netizens Call Him 'President For War, Not Peace'
The President took to Truth Social to confirm American forces had executed precision strikes on three of Iran's most sensitive nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan over the weekend.
In a move that has stunned geopolitical analysts, President Donald Trump announced devastating US airstrikes against Iran's nuclear programme on Sunday — only to declare "now is the time for peace" moments later, sparking widespread accusations of hypocrisy and warmongering.
The President took to Truth Social to confirm American forces had executed precision strikes on three of Iran's most sensitive nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
"Very successful attacks," Trump wrote, adding with characteristic bravado that a "full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow." The strikes represent a dramatic escalation after more than a week of Israeli attacks targeting Iran's nuclear and air defence infrastructure, and White House officials confirmed Trump coordinated the operation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Peace Rhetoric Meets Military Escalation
The President's abrupt pivot to peace rhetoric immediately after announcing the attacks ignited furious backlash across social media platforms. Critics blasted what they saw as glaring hypocrisy from a leader who campaigned on ending "endless wars."
"Imagine dropping the world's biggest non-nuclear bombs on Iran three times and then having the audacity to say, 'Now is the time for Peace," a user reacted on social media platform, X. "Trump lied — he is President for War, not Peace. World War 3 has begun," the individual commented.
The sentiment was echoed across platforms. "Insanity," wrote another user called Sierra. "Can't believe Trump campaigned as the anti-war candidate and then inserted the US into this unnecessary conflict."

'Betrayal' of Anti-War Voters
Many respondents expressed particular outrage that the strikes appeared to serve Israeli interests rather than American ones. "We voted to end endless wars, not fight Israel's battles," lamented commentator Fake Vivek. "It's a betrayal, plain and simple."
As tensions escalate, the disconnect between Trump's actions and rhetoric has left allies and adversaries alike questioning American strategy — and whether the President's sudden peace overtures represent genuine diplomacy or mere posturing after delivering a devastating military blow.
