 Trump Celebrates 'Bullseye' Hits on Iranian Nuclear Sites, While UN Remains 

Uncertain About Damage Extent

Article: John Kerry - Birmingham۔UK

As of 11:11 AM PKT on Monday, June 23, 2025, President Donald Trump has hailed recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites as "bullseye" successes, claiming they effectively neutralized key facilities like Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strikes, launched in coordination with Israel, utilized B-2 stealth bombers equipped with GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators to target fortified underground locations, with Trump asserting the operation "totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities. Speaking from the White House, he warned Tehran to seek peace or face further action, framing the move as a decisive blow against regional threats.

However, the United Nations has expressed uncertainty regarding the extent of the damage. UN Secretary-General António Guterres labeled the strikes a "dangerous escalation," urging de-escalation, while the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported no significant radiation spikes but noted limited access to assess the sites fully. Iranian state media downplays the impact, claiming minimal destruction, adding to the ambiguity. The conflicting narratives have sparked global concern, with potential retaliatory actions from Iran—ranging from missile strikes to proxy attacks—looming large. Oil prices have surged, and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz faces disruptions, reflecting the economic ripple effects. X posts show a polarized reaction, with some praising Trump’s boldness and others fearing a broader conflict.
