Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities lasted for 12 days. The United States also became involved in the process by striking the facility in Fordo. After Iran retaliated against U.S. bases, President Trump declared a ceasefire. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared footage from the operation, stating, "We have destroyed Iran's nuclear infrastructure."
After Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear program that began on June 13, the rising tensions in the region gained a new dimension with the direct intervention of the United States. With the bombing of Iran's Fordo nuclear facility by U.S. B-2 bombers, the Washington administration was effectively drawn into the war.
TRUMP INTERVENED, CEASEFIRE DECLARED
While the attacks lasted for 12 days, Iran retaliated against U.S. bases in the Middle East. In response to the escalating tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire had been declared between Israel and Iran. Trump stated that Iran had "vented its anger," expressing that the situation was brought under control.
U.S. SHARED IMAGES
Following the ceasefire, the U.S. administration shared images of the moments when targets in Iran were hit. The images included moments when the nuclear facilities in Fordo were destroyed.
"THEY ARE LYING TO CLOUD THE ISSUE"
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated, "They are lying to cloud the issue. Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed. We bravely conducted operations against Iran. Even if they lie, we destroyed the nuclear program. This operation was like a dream." He also claimed that some circles leaked information intentionally to undermine Trump after the operation. In this critical period when Israel and Iran ended their attacks, the images shared by the U.S. created a significant impact on the global public opinion.
