Hiroshima Mayor Urges Trump to Visit Atomic Bomb Site: “Nuclear Weapons Know No Boundaries”
Hiroshima Mayor Calls on Trump to Witness Atomic Bomb Aftermath
The mayor of Hiroshima, Kazumi Matsui, has extended an invitation to former U.S. President Donald Trump to visit the city and witness the devastating aftermath of the 1945 atomic bombing. The invitation comes after Trump controversially compared the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to recent attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
A Plea for Understanding
Matsui emphasized that Trump lacks a true understanding of the horrors of nuclear warfare. “He does not seem to grasp that nuclear weapons spare no one—friend or foe—and pose an existential threat to humanity,” Matsui stated, as reported by Kyodo News. The mayor hopes a visit to Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Museum will provide Trump with firsthand insight into the catastrophic consequences of atomic weapons.
Trump’s Controversial Remarks
During a recent NATO summit in The Hague, Trump claimed that the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justified, equating them to military actions against Iran’s nuclear facilities. He argued that both actions “ended wars,” despite lacking concrete evidence to support his claims about the complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear sites.
Escalating Tensions in the Region
The invitation follows heightened tensions in the Middle East, including aggressive military actions targeting Iran’s nuclear and civilian infrastructure. Reports indicate significant damage to facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz, though no increase in external radiation levels has been confirmed.
Diplomatic Deception?
These attacks occurred amid indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington regarding Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief. Critics accuse Trump of feigning diplomatic openness while allegedly supporting aggressive actions against Iran.
Iran’s Response
Iran retaliated with operations “Va’deh Sadegh 3” and “Basharat Fath,” demonstrating its resolve to defend its sovereignty. The conflict was later halted following a U.S.-proposed ceasefire.
A Call for Reflection
Matsui’s invitation underscores the universal dangers of nuclear warfare, urging global leaders to recognize its indiscriminate destruction. By confronting history, the Hiroshima mayor hopes to foster a deeper commitment to peace.
