NNA - President Donald Trump praised the impact of the US’s strikes on nuclear sites in Iran as early assessments raise questions over whether the US destroyed the bulk of the country’s enriched nuclear material.

“Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images,” he wrote on Truth Social late Sunday night.

“Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!” he wrote on Truth Social.

The US attacked three key Iranian nuclear facilities early Sunday local time. Trump claimed the operation “obliterated” the sites, but officials are still assessing how significant of a blow it dealt to Tehran’s program.

CNN reported Sunday that the US appears to have held back its most powerful bombs against one of the three facilities included in the operation, raising questions about whether it finished the job.--CNN
