The United States launched a massive airstrike against three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—over the weekend, codenamed 'Midnight Hammer', using B-2 stealth bombers to drop massive bunker busters, supplemented by Tomahawk cruise missiles, aimed at destroying Iran's uranium enrichment capability.
However, some foreign media reports after the airstrikes indicate that Iran's nuclear facilities have not been completely destroyed, particularly the deeply buried Fordow facility may have only suffered partial damage. Nevertheless, the U.S. government continues to emphasize the significant effectiveness of the operation, claiming that it has 'completely destroyed' Iran's nuclear facilities and facilitated a historic ceasefire agreement.
Trump reiterates that Iran's nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed
On the evening of the 26th, U.S. President Trump reiterated on his social media platform Truth Social that Iran's nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed by the United States. He wrote:
A letter from the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission stated, 'The destructive strike by the United States on Fordow destroyed the key infrastructure at that site, making the enrichment facility completely inoperative.'
Last weekend, the United States successfully conducted a large-scale precision strike against Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, with very, very significant results, referred to as 'complete destruction'. This astonishing display of American power paved the way for peace, achieving a historic ceasefire agreement...
Israel has just announced that its nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed! Thanks to our outstanding B-2 pilots and everyone involved!
Previously, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei also stated, 'Our nuclear facilities have been severely damaged, that is certain.'
Trump calls out reporters for false reporting
At the same time, Trump has once again rebutted reports from foreign media, angrily denouncing the New York Times and CNN for trying to belittle the achievements of U.S. military pilots, calling these media 'sick and malicious'.
He also specifically named CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand, demanding her firing, accusing her of spreading fake news in her nuclear facility report and in the 'Laptop from Hell' incident, damaging America's honor:
We just caught the failing New York Times and fake news CNN cheating again! They are trying to belittle the excellent work of our B-2 pilots, which is completely wrong. These reporters are just bad and sick people. You would think they would be proud of our tremendous success, rather than always trying to make our country look terrible. Completely destroyed!
Natasha Bertrand should be fired from CNN! I have seen her report fake news for three days. She should be condemned immediately and then 'kicked out like a dog'. She lied in her 'Laptop from Hell' report, and now she is lying in her nuclear facility report, trying to slander our patriotic pilots and make them look bad, when in fact they performed excellently, hitting 'key targets', completely destroyed! She should not be allowed to work for fake news CNN. It is people like her who ruin the reputation of what was once a great television network. Her reporting angle is obviously negative, and she is completely unqualified to be a screen reporter, far from it. Fire Natasha!
Talks with Iran next week, Bitcoin reaches $108,000
Additionally, it is worth noting that Trump stated last night that the U.S. will hold talks with Iran next week, possibly signing an agreement, although he does not believe it is necessary. He reiterated that the only demand the U.S. will make is that Iran has no nuclear weapons, but currently, Iranian officials still insist they will not abandon their nuclear program, and whether the two sides can reach a consensus remains uncertain.
With the situation between Israel and Iran not worsening again, the price of Bitcoin continues to fluctuate upward, reaching as high as $108,000 last night before closing at $107,313 before this report.
