US President Donald Trump said the US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites caused "monumental damage" to Tehran's nuclear program.
“Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Obliteration is an accurate term! 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 Associated Press reported that US defense officials were assessing the damages.
President Trump announced last Thursday that he would decide "within the next two weeks" whether to strike Iran.
Just over 48 hours later the United States launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities amid the ongoing Iranian-Israeli conflict.
"The U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear assemblies in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan," President Trump said in a national address from the White House on Saturday night. "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror."
