Explosive military strikes give the Trump admin a much needed win

The president just accomplished a major goal. It’ll be hard for him to top this success.

And an explosive military strike gives the Trump admin a much needed win.

President Donald J. Trump has once again proven why he’s the leader America needs, delivering a devastating blow to Iran’s nuclear weapons program with Operation Midnight Hammer. In June 2025, Trump ordered precision strikes that obliterated Iran’s ability to produce weapons-grade uranium, leaving the country’s nuclear dreams in ruins. “For the first time in 15 years,” top nuclear experts confirm Iran has no clear path to a bomb, thanks to Trump’s bold action.

David Albright, a renowned nuclear weapons expert and former IAEA inspector, led a team from the Institute for Science and International Security to assess the damage. Their findings are a resounding victory for America. “For the first time in over 15 years, no breakout estimate to weapon-grade uranium (WGU) is included in our reporting on the IAEA reports,” their report declared. “Iran has no identifiable route to produce weapon-grade uranium in its centrifuge plants.” This is what winning looks like—Iran’s nuclear program is on its knees.

Operation Midnight Hammer was a masterstroke of military might. Trump unleashed 14 massive Guided Bomb Unit Massive Ordnance Penetrators—bunker-busters—on three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities, including the heavily fortified Fordow enrichment plant. These weren’t just any bombs; they were designed to penetrate deep underground, targeting sites even Israel’s strikes couldn’t fully reach. Trump’s strategy was clear: hit hard, hit fast, and leave nothing standing.

The results are staggering. The Institute’s analysis found that the “attacks caused immense destruction to Iran’s ability to make the nuclear weapon itself.” All 22,000 of Iran’s installed gas centrifuges across three enrichment sites were either destroyed or rendered useless. The strikes also obliterated Iran’s ability to build new centrifuges, crippled its research and development, and wiped out its capacity to produce uranium hexafluoride, the lifeblood of enrichment. Iran’s nuclear program isn’t just damaged—it’s been gutted.

Skeptics tried to downplay Trump’s victory, whining that it was too soon to call the mission a success without a full damage assessment. But the Institute’s report shuts them up for good. There “are no indications that Iran moved stocks outside of these three sites,” the analysis stated. Trump’s strikes were so precise, so overwhelming, that Iran’s nuclear stockpiles are likely toast.

This wasn’t a solo effort. Israel laid the groundwork with its 12-day Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran’s nuclear sites and key personnel. When Israel’s firepower couldn’t fully neutralize Fordow, Trump stepped in with the heavy artillery. This U.S.-Israel tag team shows what real alliances look like—no endless talks, no appeasement, just action. Together, they delivered a knockout blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The White House didn’t hold back in celebrating. “Your friendly reminder that Iran’s nuclear capabilities are OBLITERATED!” spokesperson Anna Kelly declared, echoing Trump’s triumphant tone. And why not? For years, globalist elites and weak leaders let Iran creep closer to a bomb while pushing useless diplomacy. Trump saw through the charade, tore up the disastrous Iran deal in his first term, and now, in his second, he’s making sure Iran’s nuclear threat is history.

Iran’s response? A tantrum. After the strikes, President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered his regime to cut off all cooperation with the IAEA, the global nuclear watchdog. Big mistake. By slamming the door on inspectors, Iran’s left the IAEA blind about its nuclear stockpiles and sites. But Albright’s team didn’t need Tehran’s permission. Using open-source data and satellite imagery, they confirmed the devastation—a testament to American ingenuity and resolve.

The experts did note one challenge: pinning down how long it’ll take Iran to recover is tough. “Calculating a breakout time would require unsubstantiated speculation about the existence and operability of centrifuges that were not destroyed in the war, such as centrifuges already made but not yet deployed, as well as about the availability of enriched uranium stocks,” the report cautioned. Iran might still have some tricks up its sleeve, but with its infrastructure in ruins, any comeback will take years.

This is why Trump’s approach—strike hard, stay vigilant—is the only way to handle a regime like Iran’s. Iran doesn’t respond to sanctions or sweet talk; they respect power. For too long, global leaders let Iran spin its centrifuges while chanting “Death to America” and funding terrorists. The Obama-era Iran deal was a disgrace, handing Tehran billions while they built their war machine. Trump’s actions have undone that mess, proving strength is the only language Iran understands.

The stakes are massive. A nuclear-armed Iran would be a disaster, threatening America, Israel, and the entire free world. Iran has never hidden their hatred, backing groups like Hezbollah and Hamas while plotting chaos. Trump’s strikes didn’t just protect U.S. interests; they sent a message to every rogue state: America’s back, and won’t play games.

The Institute’s report is a slap in the face to anyone still pushing for “talks” with Iran. Trump’s leadership, backed by hard evidence from experts like Albright, shows that decisive action works. Iran’s nuclear program is a wreck, and America’s enemies are on notice.

Iran’s refusal to work with the IAEA proves they’re still dangerous. The regime’s wounded, not dead, and America needs leaders like Trump who won’t flinch from confronting evil. Operation Midnight Hammer has set Iran back years, maybe decades, but vigilance is key.

This is a triumph for America, Israel, and anyone who wants a world free from the shadow of a nuclear-armed Iran. Trump’s bold vision, paired with the Institute’s d*mning analysis, proves that strength delivers results.

Trump’s leadership has shown the world what happens when you take on America’s enemies head-on.

Operation Midnight Hammer is a victory for the ages, and with Trump at the helm, the U.S. will keep winning.
