President Trump denies report claiming Iran nuclear facility was not destroyed
Jun 25, 2025
U.S. President Donald Trump has firmly denied claims made in a recent intelligence report suggesting that Iran's nuclear facilities were not destroyed in a recent American military strike. The report, cited by two prominent U.S. media outlets, casts doubt on the Trump administration’s assertion that the strike had successfully crippled Iran’s nuclear program.
President Trump lashed out at the media outlets, accusing them of conspiring to undermine what he described as “one of the most successful military strikes in history.” He insisted that the targeted nuclear sites in Iran had, in fact, been destroyed.
“These are baseless reports designed to discredit a highly successful operation,” Trump said, without naming the specific intelligence sources referenced in the media coverage.
The controversy stems from a newly surfaced intelligence assessment that allegedly shows critical elements of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure remain intact. The assessment contradicts earlier claims by U.S. officials that the strike had dealt a severe blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The conflicting narratives have sparked debate among policymakers and analysts, raising concerns about transparency and the actual effectiveness of the military action. The issue also adds further tension to the already strained U.S.-Iran relations and may influence ongoing diplomatic discussions in the region.
