US Claims Destruction of Iran Nuclear Sites After June Strikes

News summary

President Donald Trump and senior U.S. defense officials have declared the recent U.S.-led precision airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities a monumental success, asserting that critical infrastructure, particularly the Fordow nuclear site, has been destroyed and Iran's nuclear weapons program set back by years. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials emphasized the strikes eliminated Iran's nuclear capabilities and brought an end to hostilities, despite conflicting intelligence from a leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report suggesting only short-term disruption. The Israel Atomic Energy Commission supported the U.S. claims, reporting that combined U.S. and Israeli strikes rendered Iran's enrichment facilities inoperable. Trump dismissed doubts and intelligence assessments calling into question the strikes' long-term effectiveness, describing the operation as an obliteration akin to historic bombings and labeling the ceasefire that followed as a "victory for everybody." Meanwhile, Iran confirmed damage to its nuclear sites but responded politically by moving to suspend cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. The U.S. administration is preparing for further negotiations with Tehran to halt its nuclear ambitions.
