US President Donald Trump still wants peace in the Middle East, but sometimes it takes force to achieve that objective, said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

The president wants peace, but sometimes it takes force to achieve it, Levitt said on Fox News, commenting on Trump's desire to achieve peace in the Middle East after the US strikes on Iran.

According to the US president, Tehran must agree to end this war. Otherwise, it will face much more dire consequences. Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance said after the aforesaid US attacks—which Iran called barbaric and criminal—that the United States was not at war with the Islamic Republic.

Early Sunday morning, US President Donald Trump announced that the US military had successfully attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities—in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Trump added that Tehran must agree to end the conflict. Israel has been carrying out daily strikes on Iran since June 13 as part of its operation against Iran's nuclear program.
