Trump Insists U.S. Bombs Destroyed Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Compares Strike to Hiroshima Atomic Bombing
- President Donald Trump insisted on June 25, 2025, at the NATO summit in The Hague that U.S. strikes completely destroyed Iran's nuclear sites.
- The strikes, authorized over the previous weekend, aimed to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons amid a 12-day conflict involving Israeli and U.S. air attacks.
- Leaked U.S. intelligence and reports showed the damage delayed Iran's nuclear program by months but did not obliterate underground facilities or completely destroy centrifuges.
- Trump asserted that the strikes achieved “complete destruction” of their targets and likened the operation to the U.S. nuclear attacks on Japan during World War II that brought the conflict to a close. Meanwhile, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, dismissed contrary intelligence assessments as completely inaccurate.
- The ceasefire brokered by Trump between Israel and Iran appeared to hold, though Iranian officials warned of serious repercussions and lawmakers voted to suspend cooperation with nuclear monitors.
