White House and Defense Dept. Defend Precision Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Facility Amid Controversy

The White House and Department of Defense have categorically denied reports suggesting that a recent U.S. airstrike failed to eliminate an Iranian nuclear facility. According to official statements, the precision bombing involved fourteen 30,000-pound munitions, resulting in the complete destruction of the target. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt emphasized that the intelligence leak originated from an anonymous source within the intelligence community, undermining its credibility. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Hegeseth confirmed that the operation effectively dismantled Iran’s nuclear weapons manufacturing capabilities. These authoritative declarations aim to dispel circulating doubts and reinforce the strategic impact of the U.S. military action. Notably, former President Trump amplified these assertions by sharing Hegeseth’s remarks on his social media platform, “Truth Social.” This coordinated communication underscores the administration’s commitment to transparency and the integrity of U.S. defense operations amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
