‘Bullseye’: Donald Trump claims US strikes inflicted ‘monumental damage’ to Iran’s nuclear facilities

He further affirmed that “obliteration” was the “accurate term” for the devastation caused by US airstrikes.

“Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!” he wrote in a post.

Iran says ‘no signs of contamination’ at nuclear sites

Trump’s remarks come as Iran downplayed the US attacks, saying that there were no signs of contamination at its key nuclear sites — Isfahan, Fordow and Natanz.

Iranian state media also quoted the country’s National Nuclear Safety System Centre, which said that its radiation detectors recorded no radioactive release after the strikes.

“There is no danger to the residents living around the aforementioned sites,” the statement said.

It further stated that the residents living in the vicinity of the nuclear sites hit by the US were not in danger.

Experts suggest that Iran, anticipating a US strike, might have relocated its stockpile of near weapons-grade highly enriched uranium from Fordow, potentially hiding it in undisclosed locations, especially the ones not known to Israel and the US.

“I don’t think you can with great confidence do anything but set back their nuclear program by maybe a few years. There’s almost certainly facilities that we don’t know about,” Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey told Reuters.

The US, on Saturday (June 21), carried out ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’ against Iran, targeting its three key nuclear sites, Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.

Trump said that the attack’s objective was the “destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror. ”
