President Donald Trump Saturday insisted that the United States military strikes “completely destroyed” three nuclear sites in Iran through last month’s Operation Midnight Hammer, speaking out after an assessment was released this week showing that just one of the three facilities was wiped out.

On Thursday, however, multiple news outlets reported on a new intelligence assessment indicating that the Fordow nuclear enrichment site was mostly destroyed by U.S. bombs on June 21.
