At a NATO summit, President Trump drew comparisons between the U.S. airstrikes on Iran nuclear facilities and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, emphasizing that the strikes had significantly delayed Iran's nuclear capabilities. While he supported his assertion with an Israeli assessment, a New York Times report questioned the effectiveness of the attacks, indicating that key components of Iran's nuclear program remained intact. Trump vocally criticized the media, asserting their reporting was 'fake news,' and he defended the pilots involved, ultimately framing the strikes as a decisive action amid ongoing tensions.
The use of more than a dozen bunker-busting GBU-57 bombs left most centrifuges intact and did not take out Iran's uranium stockpile, raising questions about the effectiveness of the mission.
Trump described the media's portrayal of the airstrikes as fake news, asserting, 'They put out a story that... it wasn't bad. Well, it was so bad that they ended the war.'
Trump referenced Hiroshima and Nagasaki, stating, 'This ended a War in a different way, but it was so devastating,' drawing a controversial parallel with the Iran strikes.
Despite Trump's claims that the strikes significantly hindered Iran's nuclear program, sources suggested the setback was only a few months, contradicting the president's assertions.
