In a press conference held in The Hague alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, declaring that any attempt to rebuild its nuclear program would be met with another American military strike.

“If the Iranians rebuild, there will absolutely be another U.S. strike,” Trump said. “But I’m not worried about that. It’s over for many years.”
Trump emphasized the scale of destruction inflicted by the recent airstrikes, claiming that entire nuclear facilities were buried under millions of tons of rock, rendering them inaccessible.
“You can’t even enter the room anymore,” he added. “The bombs hit exactly where we wanted. With 30,000-pound warheads and the destructive power they bring, we achieved total devastation under the Fordow facility.”
Trump described the mission as “flawless” and “perfect,” asserting that the bombs struck with precision and accomplished their intended outcome.
Claims of Long-Term Setback to Iran’s Program
When asked about the impact of the strike on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Trump claimed the attack would delay Iran’s program by decades:
“I don’t think they’ll try again. I think they’re done. They’ve been through hell. Now they’ll stick to oil, some missiles, and defense.”
He argued that uranium enrichment is “very hard” and rebuilding nuclear infrastructure is costly and complex:
“They spent trillions of dollars trying to build this program. And now it’s gone.”
A Controversial Comparison
Trump controversially compared the U.S. strike on Iran to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, suggesting the recent operation ended the conflict between Iran and Israel:
“This strike ended the war between Iran and Israel, just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II.”
He also claimed that the current ceasefire between Iran and Israel is holding well and that U.S.-Iran relations are now surprisingly positive.
Contradicting Intelligence Reports
Trump’s remarks come amid conflicting assessments. As reported earlier, U.S. defense intelligence officials have indicated that the strike did not destroy key components of Iran’s nuclear program and likely delayed it by only a few months.
Nonetheless, Trump insisted the mission was a decisive success and implied that Iran no longer poses a nuclear threat, underscoring once again that American power remains the ultimate deterrent.
This rhetoric will likely stir further debate within the U.S. and among allies, especially as independent assessments continue to evaluate the true impact of the strike and Iran’s next moves remain uncertain.
