Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Sunday that U.S. strikes against three Iranian nuclear facilities were able to “destroy or severely degrade” the country’s capabilities.
“We devastated the Iranian nuclear program,” Hegseth said. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine agreed, though he said that it was just an “initial” assessment and more information was needed.
Iranian media has claimed that all three targeted facilities were evacuated and that damage was minimal.
