President Trump declared that the destruction of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was pivotal to securing the Gaza ceasefire, asserting that “Iran is not powerful anymore.” Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said U.S.-Israeli cooperation had “obliterated” key nuclear and military sites in Iran through precision nighttime airstrikes and Tomahawk missile salvos, calling it “the most successful operation ever conducted.” He credited those strikes with breaking Iran’s backing for Hamas, claiming: “Hamas had Iran, and now Iran says, ‘Don’t get us involved.’”
