Trump Claims US Bombing of Iranian Nuclear Sites Achieved Total Destruction<\/strong><\/p>\n In a statement on Saturday, former President Donald Trump asserted that the recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities \u201ccompletely destroyed\u201d the targeted sites. This declaration came in response to reports suggesting that some of these facilities had remained largely intact.<\/p>\n Using his Truth Social platform, Trump repeated his claim that \u201call three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and\/or OBLITERATED.\u201d He suggested that if Iran wished to restore these facilities, it would take years, and they might be better off starting from scratch in new locations.<\/p>\n On June 22, the US conducted bomb and missile strikes against Iran\u2019s controversial nuclear program, specifically targeting the uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, as well as sites in Isfahan and Natanz. These actions were coordinated with an Israeli operation against Iranian military infrastructure, and they were described by Washington as a decisive blow to Iran\u2019s long-standing attempts to develop nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n Iran, however, maintains it has never sought to weaponize its civilian nuclear program.<\/p>\n Despite Trump\u2019s assertions of success, various US media outlets have reported leaked intelligence that presents a less clear situation. An NBC News report suggested that only one of the three targeted sites was mostly destroyed, while the other two were likely repairable and could resume uranium enrichment in \u201cthe next several months.\u201d According to the report, which cited five current and former US officials, the Pentagon had even considered a more extensive bombing campaign that could have inflicted considerably more damage on Iranian facilities, instead of the quick operation that was ultimately conducted.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trump Claims US Bombing of Iranian Nuclear Sites Achieved Total Destruction In a statement on Saturday, former President Donald Trump asserted that the recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities \u201ccompletely destroyed\u201d the targeted sites.
