"If it [the stockpile of enriched uranium] is intact and Iran is able to keep it that way, they could potentially use it in a new covert enrichment facility to produce material for several nuclear weapons in a matter of months."

"I can say to the American people with great confidence that they [Iranians] are much further away from a nuclear program today than they were 24 hours ago."

"Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure."

"Israel's and U.S. attacks have effectively destroyed Iran's centrifuge enrichment program."

"The American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran's military nuclear program, has set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years."

"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."

Have US Strikes Set Back Iran's Nuclear Program?

Trump's own erratic behavior — calling Netanyahu expletives while flip-flopping daily on Iran diplomacy — is what's fueling Gulf instability, not Iranian defense measures. Netanyahu keeps escalating in Lebanon precisely because Washington lets him, torpedoing any real shot at a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. A peace agreement was within reach, but US-Israeli military adventurism keeps blowing up the diplomatic track.

Iran's strikes on Kuwait International Airport — killing one person and wounding 63 — prove Tehran is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure to coerce Gulf states into abandoning US partnerships. The GCC, Jordan, Qatar, Lebanon and Oman all condemned the attacks as flagrant violations of sovereignty and international law. Iran's so-called retaliation doctrine is just a cover for predatory regional aggression against nations that have nothing to do with the US-Iran war.
