U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth criticized CNN's report claiming that American bombings "only delayed Iran's nuclear program by several months." Hagseth said, "Based on everything we've seen, and I've seen it all, our bombings destroyed Iran's ability to produce nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot on every target and worked perfectly. Anyone who says the bombings were not devastating is simply trying to undermine President Trump and the successful mission."
