Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Sunday that the US military had successfully executed a precision strike operation in Iran, targeting key nuclear facilities. The operation, ordered by President Trump, focused on the Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz sites. During a briefing with General Dan Caine, Hegseth revealed that the goal was to cripple Iran’s nuclear program. He stated that the President’s directive was followed, resulting in the destruction of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Hegseth made it clear that Iranian troops and civilians were not targeted in the strikes. He reiterated Trump’s history of warnings against Iran developing nuclear weapons. Hegseth praised the operation’s boldness and uniqueness, saying that no other country could have performed it. President Trump, addressing the nation from the White House, confirmed the “massive precision” strikes on Iran and issued a warning of potential further action if peace was not achieved. Iran has responded to the attacks by condemning them and vowing to proceed with its nuclear program.
