MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? President Donald Trump quickly declared America’s “Operation Midnight Hammer” a total, unqualified success.
“The U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan,” Trump said late Saturday night. “Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”
At the Pentagon the next morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed the claim that Iran’s nuclear program was history. “We devastated the Iranian nuclear program … Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been obliterated,” Hegseth said. “Many presidents have dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran’s nuclear program, and none could, until President Trump.”
