Summit NATO 2025: US President Donald Trump, spoke of NATO Summit on Wednesday, pointed out a sharp global attention by a question of recent American military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities for atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. War, ”ended the war,” he ended the war, ”Trump said between two events.
Trump’s analogy Hiroshima-Nagasaki in Iran
President Donald Trump, who addressed the NATO 2025 Summit, said that Saturday’s US strikes in Iranian nuclear facilities decisive at the end of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
“This intervention ended the war. I don’t want to use the example of Hiroshima. I don’t want to use the example of Nagasaki, but that was basically the same, which ended this war. It ended in war. If we didn’t choose it, they would be fighting now,” Donald Trump said.
USA interferes with Iranian nuclear facilities
The United States has launched a coordinated attack on the three main nuclear places in Iran-fordow, Natanz and Isfahan-Pomoci bombs of bombs designed to damage the fortified underground equipment.
While Donald Trump and Defense Minister Pete HegSeth have declared strikes as “complete success”, the evaluation of the intelligence information reports, offering a more tempered view. Although the surface structures have suffered significant damage, the main infrastructure of the Iranian nuclear program – including the centrifugs and enriched uranium stocks – was largely functional.
Pentagon analysts noted that the attacks were probably delayed by Iranian nuclear ambitions by just a few months to paralyze them completely.
Yet Trump and HegSeth insisted that the Iranian ability to build nuclear weapons was “smoothed”.
Geopolitical Context of Iran Trump comparison with Hiroshima
The comparison of Iranian Strike Donald Trump with Hiroshima and Nagasaki comes in the middle of the period of increased military tension between Iran and Israel, with both nations exchange strikes in recent weeks. Iran claimed that his nuclear program was intended for peaceful purposes, while Israel and his allies expressed deep skepticism and fears of her weapons potential.
Critics warned that comparing accurate military strikes with nuclear devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is both misleading and potentially inflammatory.
“There is no comparison of conventional military strikes, albeit violent, with a catastrophic and indiscriminate destruction of atomic bombs,” said Laura Jenkins, a historian from the University of Chicago.
“The analogy of Trump Hiroshima not only disrupts history, but ririvates the trivialization of the legacy of the nuclear war.”
Others pointed out a wider diplomatic fallout that such remarks could have, especially with nations like Japan, a key ally NATO, which is still struggling with the long -term trauma of the 1945 bomb attacks.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb attacks

Atomic bomb attacks Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 meant a key moment in World War II. After the Japanese surprising attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which attracted the US into war, the United States was looking for a decisive end of conflict.
The first bomb, Little Boy, was dropped to Hiroshima on 6 August, immediately killed tens of thousands and destroyed the city. Three days later, Fat Man was dropped to Nagasaki, which caused a similar destruction.
These bomb attacks caused unprecedented devastation and loss of life, which led Japan to announce its surrender on August 15, 1945 and effectively ended World War II.
In the immediate consequences, tens of thousands died immediately of explosions and intense heat, while many others suffered from severe burns, injuries and radiation diseases. The hospitals were largely destroyed and left the survivors without sufficient care.

Long -term effects have persisted for decades; Survivors, known as Hibakusha, have experienced an increased level of cancer, genetic damage and psychological trauma, including PTSD.
70 years later, the Japanese Hospital of the Red Cross continues to be treated who survived atomic bombs suffering from radiation -related diseases.
The comparison of Hiroshima-Gran Donald Trump ruled global interviews on ethics and the consequences of nuclear analogies in modern warfare. While US President Trump insists that Iranian nuclear strikes were as decisive as the 1945 atomic bombings in the US, military analysts and historians cautious to overcome their impact.
“What happened in Hiroshima was a unique tragedy,” said political scientist Afsaneh Farhadi. “The evocation that to justify the modern conventional war is inaccurate and insensitive, especially if the evidence suggests that the Iranian program is still active.”
