Iran sites ‘pretty well destroyed’ by US strikes: Trump takes to Truth Social
US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social for the first time since the news of the attack on Al Udeid was reported.
He did not comment on the incident, but attacked the "fake news" and wrote that "sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed, and everyone knows it".
The post is reportedly in reference to the US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at the weekend.

While Trump and US officials have characterised the operation as a resounding success, some observers - and US media outlets - have reported that it is too early to get proper damage assessment and calculate how much the attacks set back Iran's nuclear programme.
The Fordow facility, for example, is deep underground, making it difficult to use satellite imagery to accurately assess how much damage the US bombs caused.
