Satellite images released Sunday show the impact of U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which President Trump announced on Saturday evening.
Using B-2 bombers dropping “bunker buster” bombs, submarines, Tomahawk missiles and more, the U.S. attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, stepping into
conflict between Iran and Israel.
U.S. bombs targeted three nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow.
Between pre-strike and post-strike satellite photos featuring the Isfahan nuclear site
from Maxar Technologies, according to The Associated Press, widespread damage can be seen to much of the infrastructure of the site.

In a late Saturday address
, the president said, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”
On Sunday, he reiterated the point on Truth Social, saying
, “Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!”
Vice President JD Vance said during a Sunday morning interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the U.S. set the Iranian nuclear program “back substantially.”
“We destroyed the Iranian nuclear program,” he said. “I think we set that program back substantially. And we did it without endangering the lives of the American pilots.”
President Trump on Sunday suggested regime change could be possible in Iran if the current one is “unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN.”
“It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!” Trump said in a Truth Social post
.
Trump’s comments follow his announcement Saturday
the United States had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, stepping into a conflict between Iran and Israel that kicked off on June 13 amid already heightened tensions in the region over Israel’s war in Gaza and Iran’s nuclear capability.
In a late Saturday address, the president said
, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”
“Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace,” Trump added.
The United States warned of a
“heightened threat environment” following Trump’s ordering of strikes on the three Iranian nuclear sites. The Department of Homeland Security issued a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin Sunday, giving a heads-up to the public to the possibility of cyberattacks done by those who back Iran or are affiliated with its government.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday pushed
for the U.S. to not “engage in regime change in Iran.”
“Our focus should only be on our national security. The Iranian regime has threatened the U.S. with nuclear production for years,” Haley, who served in the first term of the president, said.

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s strike against Iran’s nuclear sites Saturday, the former president of Russia is now warning: “A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.”
The comment
comes from Dmitry Medvedev, who currently the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.
In a series of Sunday posts on X, Medvedev did not specifically name the countries supposedly willing to provide nuclear weapons to Tehran, but asked rhetorically, “What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?
President Obama caught on an open mic on March 26, 2012, reassuring Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he would have “more flexibility” after the U.S.presidential election
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Sunday the U.S. will suffer “everlasting consequences” as a result of its Operation Midnight Hammer.
“The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations,” Araghchi said
.
“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior.”
“In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.”
“The damage to the Nuclear sites in Iran is said to be ‘monumental.’
The hits were hard and accurate. Great skill was shown by our military. Thank you!”
Trump noted
, “It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!”
While congratulating the U.S. Armed Forces, Trump also blasted U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who said the dropping of 12 bunker buster bombs
in a precision strike on three nuclear sites was “not constitutional.”
“Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is,” Trump began in a lengthy criticism
.
“Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him. He is a negative force who almost always Votes ‘NO,’ no matter how good something may be. He’s a simple minded ‘grandstander’ who thinks it’s good politics for Iran to have the highest level Nuclear weapon, while at the same time yelling ‘DEATH TO AMERICA’ at every chance they get.
“Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans, and even took over the American Embassy in Tehran under the Carter Administration. We had a spectacular military success yesterday, taking the ‘bomb’ right out of their hands (and they would use it if they could!) but, as usual, and despite all of the praise and accolades received, this ‘lightweight’ Congressman is against what was so brilliantly achieved last night in Iran.

“Massie is weak, ineffective, and votes ‘NO’ on virtually everything put before him (Rand Paul, Jr.), no matter how good something may be. He is disrespectful to our great military, and all that they stand for, not even acknowledging their brilliance and bravery in yesterday’s attack, which was a total and complete WIN.
“Massie should drop his fake act and start putting America First, but he doesn’t know how to get there — he doesn’t have a clue! He’ll undoubtedly vote against the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill, even though non-passage means a 68% Tax Increase for everybody, and many things far worse than that.
“MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague! The good news is that we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and I’ll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard. MAGA is not about lazy, grandstanding, nonproductive politicians, of which Thomas Massie is definitely one.
“Thank you to our incredible military for the AMAZING job they did last night. It was really SPECIAL!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
As WorldNetDaily reported
Sunday, Republicans in Congress are at odds over the constitutionality of the military action without congressional approval.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said
: “The President made the right call, and did what he needed to do.
“Leaders in Congress were aware of the urgency of this situation and the Commander-in-Chief evaluated that the imminent danger outweighed the time it would take for Congress to act.
Massie responded directly to Johnson’s opinion, saying
: “Why didn’t you call us back from vacation to vote on military action if there was a serious threat to our country?”
U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie R-Ky.
“I introduced
a War Powers Resolution on Tuesday, while Congress was on vacation. We would have had plenty of time to debate and vote on this.”
Massie added
: “When two countries are bombing each other daily in a hot war, and a third country joins the bombing, that’s an act of war.
“I’m amazed at the mental gymnastics being undertaken by neocons in DC (and their social media bots) to say we aren’t at war… so they can make war.”
