💨 Abstract

The Trump administration asserted that U.S. airstrikes on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility were highly successful, despite reports suggesting otherwise. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and General Dan Caine praised the operation, claiming it set back Iran's nuclear program significantly. They criticized media reports based on leaked intelligence, insisting that the strikes targeted and destroyed ventilation shafts effectively. Despite Iran's attempt to cover the shafts, the U.S. claimed all weapons hit their intended targets.
