President Donald Trump insists that the US destroyed all nuclear facilities in Iran as part of its attack, according to his post on the social media platform Truth Social.

“Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term!,” he stated.

According to him, the roof of one of the structures, which was built into the rock, ended up below ground level. Moreover, Trump claims that the greatest damage was caused underground.

“The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!,” the White House chief concluded.

What preceded it

On the night of June 13, the Israeli Air Force began attacking Iran’s nuclear and military facilities. Additionally, the IDF eliminated several dozen top Russian commanders. Since then, the two countries have been exchanging reciprocal strikes.

However, the most intriguing question was whether the US would join the operation. On the night of June 22, it became known that American forces struck Iran’s nuclear program sites in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow.

Yesterday, Trump stated that the US managed to snatch the bomb from Iran’s hands, and this happened before Tehran could use it.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on the 22nd that the US is not currently preparing new operations against Iran. He also said that for a few more days, no one will know whether Iran moved part of its nuclear materials before the American strikes.

In response to the attack, Iran sharply condemned the strikes, accusing the Trump administration of betraying diplomacy.
