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."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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

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.
