President Donald Trump: “Tonight I can report to the world that the strikes were a

spectacular military success,” said Trump from the White House, flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,” Trump added. During the roughly 3-minute and 46-second address, Trump claimed that the goal of the bombing was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity, which was accomplished.
