Trump Insists U.S. Bombs Destroyed Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Compares Strike to Hiroshima Atomic Bombing

  • On June 25, 2025, President Donald Trump asserted at a NATO summit in The Hague that U.S. airstrikes completely destroyed Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
  • This statement contradicted a preliminary Pentagon Defense Intelligence Agency report indicating the strikes only delayed Iran's nuclear program by a few months without full destruction of the facilities.
  • Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supported Trump’s claim, saying the attacks set back Iran’s nuclear and missile efforts by years despite some intact centrifuges.
  • According to Iranian government sources, Israeli strikes killed 606 people, while Trump called the operation a 'complete obliteration' and condemned leaks of the opposing intelligence report as outrageous.
  • The dispute generated a Pentagon leak investigation and political debate, though the ceasefire brokered by Trump between Israel and Iran reportedly remains in effect.
