50 U.S.C. 1543(a)(3); PUBLIC LAW 93-148, SEC. 4(a); (87 STAT. 555)

ordered to be printed
The White House,
Washington, June 23, 2025.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: On the night of June 21, 2025, at my
direction, United States forces conducted a precision strike
against three nuclear facilities in Iran used by the Government
of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its nuclear weapons
development program. The strike was taken to advance vital
United States national interests, and in collective self-
defense of our ally, Israel, by eliminating Iran's nuclear
program.
The strike was limited in scope and purpose. The United
States discretely targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iranian troops and other military facilities were not targeted.
No United States ground forces were used in the strike, and the
mission was planned and executed in a manner designed to
minimize casualties, deter future attacks, and limit the risk
of escalation.
I directed this military action consistent with my
responsibility to protect United States citizens both at home
and abroad as well as in furtherance of United States national
security and foreign policy interests. I acted pursuant to my
constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and Chief
Executive and pursuant to my constitutional authority to
conduct United States foreign relations. The United States took
this necessary and proportionate action consistent with
international law, and the United States stands ready to take
further action, as necessary and appropriate, to address
further threats or attacks.
I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep
the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers
Resolution (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the
Congress in this action.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.
