President says U.S. struck Iranian nuclear sites and degraded missile capabilities
Summary
The President said B-2 bombers obliterated Iranian nuclear sites and that Iran's ability to launch missiles and drones has been 'dramatically curtailed,' remarks included in an address updating the public on a month-long operation.
The President named strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities—referring to the action as "Operation Midnight Hammer"—and said the facilities were hit by B-2 bombers and heavily surveilled. “The nuclear sites that we obliterated with the b 2 bombers have been hit so hard that it will take months to get near the nuclear dust,” the President said, characterizing the damage as long-lasting.
He also said the regime’s ability to launch missiles and drones is "dramatically curtailed" and that weapons factories and launchers have been destroyed. These claims are presented by the speaker as reasons the U.S. is close to meeting its strategic objectives; the transcript provides no independent corroboration of the extent of damage or Iranian capabilities.
