Trump Declares Victory After Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed “complete success” following a series of strategic airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities, including the highly guarded Fordo site. The strikes reportedly targeted infrastructure believed to be critical to Iran’s nuclear program.

According to Trump, the operation was “precise and necessary,” and aimed at sending a strong message to Tehran regarding its continued defiance of international nuclear agreements. “We hit the right targets. Iran must now make a choice — peace or consequences,” Trump stated during a press briefing.

In response, Iranian state media downplayed the damage, calling it a “bluff.” Reports from Tehran suggested that only minor sections of tunnel entrances were hit, with no critical infrastructure harmed. Iranian officials also claimed that the situation across provinces like Qom remains “entirely calm.”

Meanwhile, internet access across several Iranian regions has been severely limited, with authorities citing “foreign cyberattacks” as the cause. This has reduced the flow of independent images and footage from within the country, forcing global media to rely heavily on state-approved content and narratives.

Political analysts believe the strike may escalate existing tensions in the Middle East, especially with upcoming elections in both the U.S. and Iran. While Washington sees the strike as a tactical success, Tehran is accusing the U.S. of provocation and aggression.

As both sides trade statements, the world watches closely to see whether this marks the beginning of renewed conflict — or the last push before diplomacy returns.
