Trump shreds naysayers who deny his attacks obliterated Iran’s nuclear sites: ‘The bombs went through like butter’

President Donald trump is taking a victory lap after he ordered attacks on Iran’s nuclear proliferation sites last Saturday, June 21st.

Speaking with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Trump said that ‘the bomb went through it, like it was butter, like it was absolute butter,’ while describing the pinpoint precision with which U.S. Air Force pilots executed the strikes. 

Trump also doubled down on previous claims that Iran’s nuclear sites were in fact obliterated.

‘It was obliterated like nobody’s ever seen before. And that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions at least for a period of time,’ Trump stated. 

Addressing his critics further, Trump also acknowledged that ‘a lot of people have said, well, do you think they’re going to start again?’

‘I said, the last thing they want to do right now is think about nuclear. They have to put themselves back into condition, in shape,’ Trump added. 

Harkening back to his first term Middle East peace deal of the Abraham Accords, Trump also noted that ‘we have some really great countries in there right now and I think we’re going to start loading them up because Iran was the primary problem.’

Speaking with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Trump said that ‘the bomb went through it, like it was butter, like it was absolute butter,’ while describing the pinpoint precision with which U.S. Air Force pilots executed the strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites last weekend.

During an appearance on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Mariano Grossi noted that ‘you will see that there is an agreement in describing this as a very serious level of damage,’ to Iran’s nuclear sites that were bombed by the United States last weekend.

Senators gave mixed reactions after a classified intelligence briefing Thursday on the effectiveness of Donald Trump’s strikes wiping out Iran’s nuclear sites.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of Defense from Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Caine, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed lawmakers about Trump’s strike on Iran’s nuclear sites.

Senators had demanded additional information due to conflicting reports over whether Trump totally ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program after a top-secret intelligence document leaked to CNN said it just set it back a few months.

The preliminary report also stated that Iran had moved much of its enriched uranium out of the sites before 30,000-pound ‘bunker busters’ were deployed by U.S. B-2 bombers.

But the White House and Trump are denying any suggestion that the strikes were not successful saying the leaked report selectively left out crucial information and was it is still too early for a full analysis.

Trump even blamed Democrats for the leak, being investigated by the FBI, suggesting they should be prosecuted.

‘The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!,’ he wrote on Truth Social.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee blamed ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ for the negative press coverage on the strikes.

‘Some Democrats, some in the media seem to have such a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, that they’re rooting for the survival of Iran’s nuclear program versus celebrating success of our pilots and their crews, but I think the answers they got in there should be totally satisfactory, Cotton told reporters.

Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said that he was ‘happy it’s done and over with.’

‘I think that Iranian nuclear development is set back years,’ he noted.

Asked if Iran was still capable of producing a nuclear weapon, Marshall added ‘I think it would take years for them to be able to do that, and I don’t think they have any interest in doing it right now.’

When asked if his Democrat colleagues seemed satisfied with the briefing, Marshall said, ‘they seem to be. There seem to be as much pushback today as there was when Soleimani was taken out, so I think they’re pretty satisfied.’

Yet, some Democrats did not seem to be as satisfied with the briefing as Marshall assumed they were.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told a gaggle of reporters that ‘we set this program back for months,’ further stating ‘and that is not obliteration.’

 Last weekend, Trump directed the U.S. military to deploy a dozen 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bombs that ‘obliterated’ Iran’s three largest nuclear facilities.

‘The strikes were a spectacular military success,’ Trump said in a late-night address to the nation from the White House on Saturday.

Just before 8:00 p.m. ET on June 21st, Trump posted on his social media site Truth Social confirming the attacks.

‘We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of Bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. ‘

‘All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. Now Is The Time For Peace! Thank you for your attention to this matter.’

Trump made the decision to attack Iran’s sites ‘based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future.’
