US President Donald Trump said Wednesday at the NATO summit that the ceasefire with Iran was "going very well," praised Israel's achievements in the operation, and emphasized its success. Trump added, "The last thing Iran wants to do is enrich anything. They want to recover." He continued, "Can you imagine, after all this, if Iran said: 'Let's make a bomb'?"
He also said, "It was obliteration, and you're going to see it—it's going to come out. Israel is preparing a report on it, and I was told they're saying it was total obliteration. They have guys going in after the strike, and they're saying it was complete destruction."

A White House statement cited an assessment from an Israeli agency operating under the Prime Minister's Office: "The devastating US strike on Fordo destroyed the site's critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperative. We assess that the US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other components of Iran's military nuclear program, have pushed back Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon by many years."
