President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth opened up about the impact Operation Midnight Hammer had not just on Iran's nuclear capabilities but also on the entire world.
 
Speaking from a White House cabinet meeting, Trump and Hegseth reflected on the military strikes that the president authorized on several Iranian nuclear facilities, with the secretary of defense saying it "reestablished deterrents" around the world.

"Truly a historic mission," Hegseth explained. "And it demonstrated the skill and courage of the United States military. From those B-2 pilots to the families whom we got a chance to meet. To the fighter pilots. To the refuelers, to the maintainers, to the air defenders who defended the base. What was demonstrated on the world stage was American military might and capability."

I don't believe a word of it unless it can be verified by either CNN or Greta Thunberg.

It bought the West and Israel some more time ... Iran will just put their facilities deeper underground in different locations.

Iran doesn't need nukes; the regime believes nukes are necessary for its survival, and as deterrence from American neo-con regime change.  Iran doesn't want to be safe for democracy.
