US President Donald Trump has stated that if Iran attempts to restore its nuclear facilities, they will be destroyed. Therefore, Tehran should not even try to do so, according to Trump's post on the social network Truth Social.
"All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service and, if Iran wanted to do so," the US President wrote.
Trump also advised Iran not to attempt to restore its nuclear sites or build new ones elsewhere. Otherwise, "those sites being obliterated, should they decide to do so."
Destruction of Iran's nuclear program
On June 22, the US carried out strikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities using bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles. After the strikes, Trump and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth claimed that Tehran's nuclear program had been completely wiped out.
However, according to multiple media reports, US intelligence stated that Iran's core nuclear infrastructure remained intact. This sparked a furious response from Trump, who accused the media of spreading disinformation.
