President Donald Trump made uncompromising statements regarding the American air strikes against nuclear facilities in Iran, emphasizing their exceptional effectiveness. During the NATO meeting in The Hague, the head of state stated that the strikes have set back the Iranian nuclear program by decades.
In a dramatic revelation, Trump reported that Israeli representatives were at the Fordow site and confirmed the complete destruction of the facility. "We have people who were there after the attack and reported total destruction," the president was categorical.
Defense Secretary Pete Hagerty supported the position, noting that initial intelligence data is still being analyzed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio added that Iran is significantly further from creating nuclear weapons compared to before the attack.
However, media outlets like CNN and New York Times published intelligence assessments indicating that most centrifuges and enriched uranium remain intact. The White House spokesperson confirmed the existence of these reports but emphasized that the administration rejects them.
Trump acknowledged some uncertainty in the initial intelligence data but insisted that the damage inflicted is extremely serious. When directly questioned about potential future actions, the president emphatically stated: "Of course we would attack again if Tehran restores its facilities".
Special US Envoy to the Middle East Steve Whitcoff described the intelligence leak as "scandalous" and "treacherous", calling for an immediate investigation of the source.
The Israeli army representative also refrained from final conclusions, noting that all initial operational objectives were achieved, but a full damage assessment is still pending.
In the context of tensions, President Trump commented on the conflict between Iran and Israel with a touch of sarcasm, stating that the two countries have been fighting for so long that they no longer understand what they are doing.
Despite various interpretations, the key message of the American administration remains unchanged - the strikes have dealt a significant blow to the Iranian nuclear program and set it back considerably.
