U.S. strikes totally obliterated three Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025
Misleading
Trump described the June 2025 strikes as having totally obliterated three Iranian nuclear facilities.
What the evidence shows
Experts and intelligence reporting indicated serious damage and a setback to enrichment, but not complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
What happened next
Assessment reflects the cited reporting; revisit if new evidence emerges.
