Pentagon reports Iran's nuclear facilities were "completely obliterated" in June strikes, offering a more optimistic assessment than earlier estimates while Iran acknowledges damage.

Israel and the U.S. struck Iranian nuclear facilities, resulting in what Trump has described as "total obliteration" of three sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Israel said Iran had nuclear ambitions that posed an existential threat to its existence.

US airstrikes on Iran set back the country’s nuclear program by one to two years, a Pentagon spokesman said, adding to uncertainty around the status of the country’s facilities after President Donald Trump said they’d been obliterated.
