Referring to undisclosed satellite images, US President Donald Trump claims Iran’s nuclear sites incurred “monumental damage” in last night’s US nuclear strike.

“Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded [sic] into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame,” Trump writes on Truth Social.

Apparently referring to the underground Fordo nuclear site, Trump claims: “The biggest damage took place far below ground level.”

“Bullseye!!!” he declares.
