22 Jun 2025 · Day 10 of 12Trump and Pentagon say Iranian nuclear sites 'obliterated'
United StatesFordow, Natanz, Isfahan nuclear sitesDisputed
After Operation Midnight Hammer struck Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on 21-22 June 2025, President Trump said the sites had been 'completely and totally obliterated,' a claim echoed by the White House and Pentagon. The characterization became the subject of dispute as intelligence assessments emerged.
Reported casualties
No casualty figure. The 'obliterated' claim is disputed: it contrasts with a leaked DIA preliminary assessment and was framed by the CIA as 'severely damaged.' Fact-checkers rated the full-obliteration claim as unsupported at the time.
