"Totally destroyed!" Trump explodes after Iran attack, says bases were razed

Following the weekend military operation in which the United States bombed strategic facilities in Iran as part of the so-called "Operation Midnight Marteau," President Donald Trump addressed criticism by claiming that the sites "were totally destroyed" and that reports to the contrary were a "media lie."

On June 23, Iran responded by firing multiple missiles at the U.S. military base in Qatar. Although all were intercepted, the attack raised tensions to a new level and left the region on high alert. Iran justified the attack as a "proportionate" retaliation for the bombing of its nuclear facilities.

Minutes after the Iranian attack, Trump posted a message on Truth Social directly accusing figures at CNN, NBC, and ABC of misrepresenting what happened. “Only the Fake News would say anything different… even they say they were 'pretty gutted,'” he wrote. He also launched personal attacks against CNN's Allison Cooper, NBC's Brian Roberts, and ABC's Jonny Karl, calling them “losers” and “liars.”

While media outlets like Reuters and Axios report that some targets in Iran were hit but not completely destroyed, Trump insists the damage was total. The dispute between the White House, the media, and the Iranian government reflects a narrative war parallel to the military conflict.

In his post, the former president also attacks television networks, accusing them of having ratings "at their lowest point in history. " "ZERO CREDIBILITY!" he concluded. Trump has used this same rhetorical tactic since his first term to discredit any critical coverage.

Among the targets bombed by the US were the Fordow and Natanz nuclear plants, key to Iran's nuclear program. Although there are no public reports of the exact level of damage, it is known that the attack was coordinated with allies in the region and carried out using B-2 aircraft and long-range missiles.

The exchange of attacks between Iran and the United States marks a critical point in the Iran-Israel conflict, with the US intervening directly after weeks of escalating tension. The risk of a full-scale war is no longer hypothetical: the possibility is on the table, and every statement by Trump generates more international expectation.
