Vice President JD Vance said the United States achieved its objective in destroying Iran’s nuclear program, moments after President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire.”
Vance told “Special Report” Monday that he had left the White House before Trump broke the news of a ceasefire but had been aware of its developments prior to coming on air.
“First of all, the president, without, knock on wood, having a single American casualty, obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. We are now in a place where we weren’t a week ago. A week ago, Iran was very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we destroyed it,” he said.
The United States struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites Saturday evening as part of Operation Midnight Hammer, dropping 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators against two target areas, Fordow and Natanz.
More than two dozen Tomahawk missiles were launched at Isfahan from a U.S. submarine.
“Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction,” said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.
