President Donald Trump, who accused CNN and The New York Times of "lying" for claiming that the U.S. attack on nuclear facilities did not fully prevent Iran's capacity to produce nuclear weapons, stated, "We fired 30 rockets, and each one landed within 15 centimeters of the target we aimed at. Fordo has been completely destroyed." Meanwhile, Iran also confirmed that its nuclear facilities suffered significant damage.

US President Donald Trump, who met with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof as part of the NATO Heads of State and Government Summit, held a press conference after the meeting.

"WE DECIDED 15 YEARS AGO TO ELIMINATE IRAN'S NUCLEAR THREAT PROGRAM"

Referring to the conflicts between Israel and Iran and the attacks on Tehran's nuclear program, Trump said, "We have come a long way; there are great countries between us. Thank you all very much. Last week, we successfully carried out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. A step this significant has not been taken for world peace. We call it the '12-day war.' We no longer believe they will fight. We decided 15 years ago to eliminate Iran's nuclear threat program. We have shown how powerful American strength is."

"THE NEW YORK TIMES AND CNN COULD NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ME"

While reiterating the claim that Iran's nuclear facilities were "completely destroyed," Trump brought up the allegations made by CNN and The New York Times regarding the attacks. The US President stated, "For years, Iran will not be able to produce nuclear weapons. If they cannot access the material, they will not have that capability again. Iran's Foreign Ministry announced that their facilities were damaged as a result of our attacks. I call the New York Times and CNN failures; they are not reliable; they could not operate without me. They misrepresented the scale of the attack."

"FORDO WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED"

Regarding the attack on the Fordo Nuclear Facility carried out by B-2 Spirit bombers, Trump stated, "We fired 30 rockets 600 kilometers away, and each one landed within 15 centimeters of the target we aimed at. Fordo was completely destroyed."

"WE WILL TALK TO IRAN NEXT WEEK"

The US President continued his remarks: "Let me say this, we will talk to Iran next week. After all, the war is over; whether there is an agreement or not, our only concern is that they will not have nuclear weapons; nothing else matters to us."

HE HAD FIRED AT THE US PRESS

In a post on his social media account in the morning, Trump reacted to reports in the US press claiming that the attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities "did not have a full effect, only delaying their work by a few months."

"YOU ARE SPREADING FAKE NEWS"

The US President stated, "The fake news channel CNN has teamed up with the failed New York Times to downplay one of the most successful military attacks in history." Trump, who said, "The nuclear facility in Iran was completely destroyed. Both the NY Times and CNN are being ruthlessly criticized by the public," accused effective media outlets in the US of "spreading fake news."

"NUCLEAR CAPACITY WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED"

After the attacks carried out by the US B-2 Spirit bombers and submarines on three Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump stated on various platforms that Tehran's nuclear capacity had been "completely destroyed." However, some media outlets in the country claimed that this was not true, but that an impact could be created that would delay Iran's nuclear activities by a few months.

IRAN: OUR NUCLEAR FACILITIES HAVE SUFFERED HEAVY DAMAGE

Referring to the current status of Iran's nuclear facilities, which have been targeted by US and Israeli attacks, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ismail Bekayi said, "Yes, our nuclear facilities have suffered heavy damage. Because these facilities have been attacked repeatedly. I have nothing else to add on this matter, as it is a technical issue. The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization and other relevant institutions are dealing with this matter."
