The global landscape has shifted significantly following what many are calling President Donald J. Trump’s assertive and effective military actions against Iran’s crucial nuclear infrastructure.
Listen to the experts:
President Trump declared, “The destruction inflicted upon Iran’s nuclear sites is monumental, as evidenced by satellite imagery. The word ‘obliteration’ fits perfectly! The structure in question is deeply embedded in rock, with its roof positioned well below ground level, providing substantial protection from direct impact. The most extensive damage occurred deep underground. It was a perfect hit!”
The Israel Atomic Energy Commission stated, “The US’s devastating strike on Fordo has obliterated the site’s vital infrastructure, rendering the enrichment facility inoperable. Our evaluation indicates that the combination of American and Israeli military actions has significantly hindered Iran’s nuclear ambitions for years to come, provided they cannot access nuclear materials.”
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir commented, “I affirm that we have inflicted serious damage on the nuclear program, effectively setting it back by years—yes, years.”
Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, conceded, “Our nuclear facilities have indeed sustained significant damage, that much is clear.”
Vice President JD Vance asserted, “I assure the American public that they are now much farther from Iran’s nuclear capabilities than they were just 24 hours ago. Our mission aimed to neutralize the Fordow site, and we believe we have substantially succeeded.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth remarked, “From what I have observed—and I’ve witnessed everything—our bombing campaign has decimated Iran’s capability to produce nuclear weapons. We struck precisely where we intended, and the results are now concealed under a mountain of debris. Anyone downplaying this mission is simply trying to undermine the President and its success.”
Secretary Hegseth added, “With 30,000 pounds of explosive force unleashed, the devastation beneath Fordow is undeniable. Any contrary assessments are mere speculation driven by ulterior motives.”
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan “Razin” Caine noted, “Preliminary damage assessments show that all three targeted sites suffered severe destruction. The mission involved over 125 US aircraft, including B2 stealth bombers and various fighter jets, alongside a complete array of support and reconnaissance aircraft.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, “The Iranian nuclear program today is drastically different from what it was just a week ago. Any narrative suggesting otherwise is misleading and fails to reflect the current reality.”
Secretary Rubio further emphasized, “The infrastructure beneath that mountain is in dire condition. Iran will not be negotiating anytime soon, as they are now significantly lagging behind where they were just a week ago due to President Trump’s decisive actions.”
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff declared, “We deployed 12 bunker-buster bombs on Fordow. The effectiveness of those bombs is undeniable; they reached deep enough to fulfill our objective of obliteration—any claims to the contrary are utterly absurd.”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard proclaimed, “This operation was a remarkable success. Our missiles were delivered with precision, effectively neutralizing key Iranian capabilities essential for assembling a nuclear weapon.”
Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, commented, “Given the nature of the explosives used and the sensitivity of centrifuge operations, we expect to see significant damage. Various structures at the Esfahan site were impacted, and the US has confirmed the use of cruise missiles. Furthermore, critical tunnels related to uranium storage appear to have been struck as well.”
Institute for Science and International Security President David Albright stated, “Collectively, the Israeli and US strikes have effectively dismantled Iran’s centrifuge enrichment program. It will be an extended period before Iran can recover any semblance of its previous capabilities.”
Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Nonproliferation and Biodefense Program, noted, “Given the extensive damage and the shockwave generated by 12 Massive Ordnance Penetrators at Fordow, it is highly probable that Iran’s centrifuges are now incapacitated.”
Brian Carter, Middle East Portfolio Manager at the American Enterprise Institute, confirmed, “There is no doubt that the bombing campaign has ‘badly, badly damaged’ the three targeted sites.”
Spencer Faragasso, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Science and International Security, concluded, “In all likelihood, it may take Iran years to recover the capabilities they lost in these strikes.”
