President Donald Trump is set to host a Pentagon press conference next week, joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to present what he describes as “irrefutable proof” of the effectiveness of recent U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The announcement comes as internal tensions rise within the administration over a leaked Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report, which suggested that the strikes delayed Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months. Trump has forcefully rejected the claim, calling it “fake news” and comparing the damage caused by the attacks to “another Hiroshima” — a far more significant setback for Iran.
The press conference aims to shift the narrative and solidify the administration’s position, with Trump expected to reveal satellite images and damage assessments to justify the strikes. The event will also serve as a strong political statement amid questions from lawmakers and international observers about the long‑term effectiveness of the operation.
The US joined Israel in striking Iran’s nuclear sites amid fears that Tehran was enriching uranium, but Trump’s claim that the facilities were ‘obliterated’ is now being met with skepticism.
