Trump Claims ‘Bullseye Strike’ on Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Says Damage Is Monumental

Trump Hails ‘Bullseye’ Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Claims Massive Damage.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday declared that American airstrikes conducted over the weekend caused “monumental damage” to Iran’s key nuclear facilities, calling the operation a “bullseye strike” and a decisive blow to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

The strikes, which took place early Sunday, marked the first direct U.S. military involvement in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and targeted three major nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

“Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! … Bullseye!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. He emphasized that the Fordow site—heavily fortified and buried deep within a mountain—suffered the heaviest damage.

According to U.S. military sources, the operation involved the use of bunker-buster bombs designed to penetrate underground targets. The Fordow uranium enrichment plant, considered one of Iran’s most secure nuclear facilities, was reportedly the primary target.

“All Planes Are Safe,” Trump Says
In an earlier post on Sunday, Trump announced the mission’s success:

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran… A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are now outside of Iranian airspace and on their way home.”

Pentagon Declares Mission a Success
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth later confirmed the attack’s outcome during a Pentagon briefing, stating the operation had “devastated the Iranian nuclear program” and referring to the strike as “an obliteration” of Tehran’s most sensitive nuclear infrastructure.

Global Reactions: Deepening Divisions
The military strikes have drawn mixed international reactions.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the U.S. for joining efforts to neutralize Iranian threats, calling it a “bold and necessary move.”

In contrast, Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia sharply criticized the U.S. action, warning it could inflame an already volatile Middle East.

Iran Vows Retaliation
Iran has condemned the attack in the strongest terms, calling it a violation of its sovereignty and an act of war. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that the U.S. and Israel would face “severe consequences.”

“The enemies have crossed a dangerous line. They will face a harsh and decisive response,” Khamenei said in a televised address on Monday.

With tensions at a boiling point, global observers are closely watching Tehran’s next moves, amid fears of a broader conflict in the region.
