Die USA hatten im Juni 2025 im Rahmen der 'Operation Midnight Hammer' iranische Uran-Anreicherungsanlagen in Natanz und Fordo sowie eine Atomeinrichtung in Isfahan bombardiert.

Wer Informationen zu US-Militäreinsätzen an die Presse durchsticht, sollte nach Meinung von Präsident Donald Trump erschossen werden. Bei einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung im Bundesstaat Arizona echauffierte er sich über einen unbekannten Tippgeber, der die Uhrzeit für Angriffe auf die iranischen Atomanlagen an Journalisten weitergegeben haben soll. „Informanten sollten meiner Meinung nach erschossen werden“, sagte Trump – das sei auch „in den alten Zeiten“ schon üblich gewesen.
Die US-Streitkräfte hatten im Juni 2025 im Rahmen der „Operation Midnight Hammer“ die iranischen Uran-Anreicherungsanlagen in Natans und Fordo sowie eine Atomeinrichtung in Isfahan bombardiert. Trump rechtfertigt den damaligen Militäreinsatz – wie überhaupt seinen Krieg gegen den Iran – immer wieder damit, dass die mit dem Verbündeten Israel verfeindete Islamische Republik keine Atombomben haben dürfe. Die Führung in Teheran beteuert stets, das Atomprogramm des Landes diene nur zivilen Zwecken und nicht der Entwicklung von Atomwaffen. Diese Darstellung wird jedoch nicht nur in den USA und Israel bezweifelt.
„Also bin ich wahrscheinlich ein bisschen zu weit gegangen. Das tut mir leid, denn ich weiß nicht mehr, mit wem zum Teufel wir es überhaupt noch zu tun haben.
