Trump Hits Back: 'Iran Sites Were Totally Destroyed — Only Fake News Says Otherwise'

As Iran launched missile attacks Monday on a US military bases in Qatar and Iraq, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites and escalating tensions in the volatile region, US President Donald Trump has said that the sites that the US hits were totally destroyed.

"The sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed, and everyone knows it. Only the Fake News would say anything different in order to try and demean, as much as possible — And even they say they were 'pretty well destroyed!' Working especially hard on this falsehood is Allison Cooper of Fake News CNN, Dumb Brian L. Roberts, Chairman of 'Con'cast, Jonny Karl of ABC Fake News, and always, the Losers of, again, Concast's NBC Fake News. It never ends with the sleazebags in the Media, and that's why their Ratings are at an ALL TIME LOW — ZERO CREDIBILITY!" posted President Trump (@POTUS) on Truth Social.

The missile strikes from Iran followed U.S. attacks over the weekend on Iranian nuclear infrastructure. On Sunday, the United States deployed 75 precision-guided munitions against three Iranian nuclear sites. General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed this included over two dozen Tomahawk missiles and bunker-buster bombs.

U.S. Military Response

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported no increase in off-site radiation levels after these strikes. However, Rafael Grossi, IAEA's director general, mentioned to CNN that assessing underground damage would take more time.

Some conservative media outlets supported Trump's claims about the destruction caused by deploying 30,000-pound GBU-57 bunker buster bombs on Iran's Fordow facility. Critics argue that physical damage might not fully dismantle a decentralized nuclear program.

Iran's Missile Strikes

A U.S. Defense Department official confirmed Iran's missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar involved both short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles. No casualties were reported from this attack as per the official statement.

Iran acknowledged its missile strikes mirrored the number of bombs dropped by the U.S., possibly indicating a desire to avoid further escalation.

Regional Reactions

Bahrain temporarily halted flights through its airspace following these events, similar to Qatar's actions before the missile strike occurred.

Qatar condemned the assault on Al Udeid but stated its defense systems intercepted all missiles effectively without any casualties reported. Subsequently, Qatar declared its airspace safe for operations once more.

This series of events underscores ongoing regional instability and highlights potential risks associated with military escalations between nations involved.
