Donald Trump has meltdown after reports that strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities

Unsurprisingly, he took to Truth Social to share his feelings.

The US President, as per usual, took to Truth Social to share his feelings.

In his typical all caps style, the 79-year-old declared that the Fordow nuclear sites in Iran had been ‘OBLITERATED’.

He even labelled it ‘ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY.'

However, US intelligence has suggested that the attack actually didn't destroy the nuclear facilities.

Following this assessment, Mr Trump accused CNN and the New York Times of teaming together 'in an attempt to demean the strikes'.

The outlets both reported on the alleged failure of the strikes, thus sparking the president's meltdown.

Over a dozen bombs were released on two Iranian nuclear facilities, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and the Natanz Enrichment Complex.

According to CNN, which cited people familiar with the Pentagon’s intelligence arm's early report, the centrifuges of the sites and highly enriched uranium were not fully eliminated.

Furthermore, it was claimed that the attack only pushed back Iran's nuclear programme by one or two months, meaning the Islamic Republic could restart their work in the coming months.

The assessment clashes with statements from both President Trump and other US officials who claimed the strikes essentially wiped out Iran's programme.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration told the UN Security Council that their strikes had ‘degraded’ Iran’s nuclear programme. Slightly different from what Mr Trump described as 'obliterated'...

When asked to comment, the White House highlighted a statement by Karoline Leavitt who slammed the ‘alleged’ conclusion, labelling it as ‘flat-out wrong.’

"Everyone knows what happens when you drop 14 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration," she said.

Satellite images taken of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan after the attack show significant damage caused by it, but not to the extent that Washington had claimed.

Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, stressed that no one ‘is in a position to assess the underground damage at Fordow.’

Grossi admitted that the US bombing probably caused ‘very significant’ damage to the site.

"Given the explosive payload utilised and the extreme(ly) vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred," he added.

The IAEA has been unable to carry out inspections in Iran since June 13, when Israel's military strikes began.

Just this morning, Iran's Parliament passed a bill suspending their cooperation with the IAEA.

The bill states that unless the security of the nuclear facilities and peaceful nuclear activities are guaranteed, IAEA agents do not have the right to enter the country for inspections.

Abbas Araghchi, Iranian foreign minister, stated: "The attack on nuclear facilities will have a serious impact on Iran’s future path.

"For years, we tried to show the world that we adhere to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and that we want to act within its framework, but unfortunately, this treaty failed to protect us or our nuclear programme."
