Trump: Iran Nuclear Program Set Back Decades
Trump claims U.S. strikes ended the Iran-Israel war and crippled Iran’s nuclear program. Says Iranian nuclear infrastructure was “totally obliterated.”
Donald Trump declared that recent U.S. airstrikes had "put back Iran's nuclear program by decades" and "ended the war" between Iran and Israel, reaffirming his readiness to launch further attacks if Tehran restarts its enrichment efforts.
U.S. Strikes and Trump’s Confidence
Speaking amid reports questioning the damage assessment, Trump insisted the strikes caused “total obliteration.” He dismissed leaked intelligence suggesting only limited impact, saying, “the reports really don't know.”
“I believe we ended the war. That was the goal,” he said, referring to the Iranian-Israeli conflict that had escalated into a 12-day aerial and cyber campaign.
Warning Against Iranian Rebuilding
Pressed on whether the U.S. would act again if Iran restarted its nuclear efforts, Trump responded bluntly: “Sure.” His statement came amid growing concerns about Tehran’s intentions following parliamentary moves to suspend cooperation with the IAEA and boost nuclear activities.
