US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth on Sunday has said the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites were an “incredible and overwhelming” success that “devastated” the country’s nuclear program.
At a press conference at The Pentagon, Hegseth said the “precision strikes” were “focused, powerful and clear”.
He said the operation solely targeted Iranian nuclear sites, rather than Iranian troops or civilians.
He said: “Last night on President Trump’s orders, US central command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran …in order to destroy or severely degrade Iran’s nuclear program.
“It was an incredible and overwhelming success. The order we received from our commander in chief was focused, it was powerful, and it was clear. We devastated the Iranian nuclear program.”
