The United States, under orders from President Trump, carried out a series of precision strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. Speaking alongside General Dan Caine, Hegseth detailed the strikes against the Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz sites, aimed at disabling Iran’s nuclear program. Hegseth declared the operation a success, stating that it had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear aspirations. The Defense Secretary emphasized that the operation specifically avoided targeting Iranian military personnel or civilians. Hegseth highlighted the consistency of Trump’s warnings to Iran concerning nuclear weapons development. The operation, planned by Trump, was described as bold and unprecedented. President Trump, speaking from the White House, confirmed the attacks, which he called “massive precision” strikes, and warned Iran of additional action if peace wasn’t pursued. Iran has denounced the attacks and reaffirmed its dedication to its nuclear program.
