The Pentagon on Thursday released new details about how the US prepared for its marathon bombing mission against three Iranian nuclear sites, the crews that carried out the daring weekend raid, and how Iran tried fortifying one of the sites that held critical aspects of its nuclear program.

Pete Hegsth and Gen. Dan Caine touted the U.S. attack on a covert nuclear facility but sidestepped questions about the fate of Iran’s uranium stockpile.

President Donald Trump again claimed "total obliteration" of Iran's nuclear program during the NATO summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday.
