US re-asserts 2025 strikes ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear programme
The White House reiterated that 2025 strikes had effectively destroyed Iran’s nuclear programme, emphasizing a successful disruption of Tehran’s capabilities. Officials framed the operation as a decisive blow that deterred Iran from advancing toward a nuclear weapon.
A senior Trump aide claimed Iran is approximately one week away from having material suitable for a nuclear bomb, boosting concerns over Tehran’s rapid progress despite international scrutiny.
The administration pressed that its action, paired with ongoing monitoring, has prevented Iran from achieving operational nuclear capability and underscored the perceived threat to regional and global security.
