President Trump Says Iran Nuclear Sites ‘Obliterated’ By US Strikes
President Donald Trump has announced that U.S. airstrikes have “obliterated” key nuclear facilities in Iran, a claim that has raised alarm among world powers and sparked fears of a broader conflict.
Speaking at a rally in Florida, the president said the strikes were “surgical and successful,” targeting “the heart of Iran’s nuclear threat.” He described the operation as a “historic blow” against Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
“These weren’t just warning shots we took out major sites that were producing weapons-grade uranium,” President Trump declared. “Iran has been warned. This is the consequence of defiance.”
While no independent verification of the full extent of the damage has yet emerged, Iranian state media acknowledged that several facilities sustained “significant damage” and that emergency response teams were deployed.
The international community, including the European Union and China, has called for immediate de-escalation and urged both sides to return to the negotiating table.
The situation remains fluid, with analysts warning of retaliatory attacks from Iran or its regional allies.
