President Trump and his administration strongly dispute reports suggesting that recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities only delayed the country's nuclear program by a few months. During a press conference in the Netherlands, Trump reiterated his assertion that the actions resulted in significant "obliteration," arguing instead that it set Iran back for decades. He compared the impact of the strikes to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thus emphasizing the severity and long-term repercussions he believes these strikes will have on Iran's nuclear ambitions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio supported the president's narrative despite contradicting intelligence assessments.
