US Military Action in Iran: Nuclear Facilities Targeted, Program Severely Impacted

In a press briefing, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the US had launched a successful military operation against Iran. The strikes, conducted under President Trump’s orders, targeted nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz. Hegseth, accompanied by Air Force General Dan Caine, stated the objective was to dismantle or significantly damage Iran’s nuclear capabilities. According to Hegseth, the operation effectively eliminated Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He stressed that the operation did not target Iranian military personnel or civilians. Trump’s consistent stance against Iran’s nuclear program was highlighted, with Hegseth asserting that this action was a culmination of Trump’s long-term strategy. Hegseth lauded the operation as a display of American military prowess, suggesting it was unprecedented. Following the strikes, President Trump announced the attacks from the White House, warning of further action if Iran did not pursue peace. Iran has responded with condemnation of the attacks, and reaffirmed its commitment to its nuclear program.
