Ambassador Oren: Trump May Be Remembered as ‘Greatest Peacemaker’ of 21st Century
Once a target of an Iranian assassination plot, the former Israeli diplomat called the US strikes a game changer. Drawing on his own experience with Iranian threats, including an ongoing cyberattack, he warned Iran may target sites abroad.

Soon after carrying out strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday, President Donald Trump posted online that the facilities had been “completely and fully obliterated.” Yet Iranian state media has reported that the uranium located at the highly fortified Fordo enrichment facility was moved prior to the strike, suggesting that the Iranian nuclear threat may persist.
In an interview with The Media Line’s Felice Friedson, former Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren urged Americans and Israelis to take that claim seriously and recognize that solving the nuclear threat may still require diplomacy. “While you can destroy Fordow, you can destroy these other nuclear facilities, the issue of the stockpile can only be addressed in negotiations,” he said. “Because you can’t blow it up without creating, or at least creating the danger of a mass casualty event. And we have to be very cautious about that.”
