Trump Insists U.S. Bombs Destroyed Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Compares Strike to Hiroshima Atomic Bombing
- The U.S. military launched Operation Midnight Hammer on June 22, 2025, striking Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan with bunker-buster bombs.
- The strikes aimed to destroy Iran's nuclear program but occurred amid reports that many critical underground facilities remained intact and uranium stocks were moved prior.
- Satellite images revealed surface damage, including a 5.5-meter crater at Natanz, but no conclusive evidence showed breaches to the heavily fortified underground structures.
- President Trump asserted that Iran’s nuclear facilities were completely destroyed, insisting on the thoroughness of the strikes, while the Pentagon’s evaluation suggested the damage may have only caused a setback lasting a few months.
- Israeli and U.S. officials asserted the attacks set back Iran's program by years, but intelligence leaks and experts caution that the impact is more limited, implying ongoing vigilance is necessary.
