US Was Unable To Reach Iranian Leader For Last Minute Nuclear Deal Before Airstrikes

The United States reportedly failed to make contact with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the final hours before initiating airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to recent reports.

The unsuccessful diplomatic effort occurred just prior to Saturday’s U.S. military operation, which President Donald Trump later described as having inflicted “monumental damage” on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

U.S. President Trump, in a late Sunday post on Truth Social, once again highlighted the success of the strikes, referencing newly released satellite imagery of the targeted nuclear sites.

“Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term!” Trump wrote. “The white structure shown is deeply embedded into the rock, with even its roof well below the ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!”

The satellite images, including those of the Fordow nuclear facility, reveal significant surface destruction. The Fordow site, constructed deep within a mountain to protect it from aerial assaults, was struck with GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs designed to penetrate fortified underground targets.
According to U.S. officials cited by The New York Times, while the strikes leveled parts of the surrounding landscape, it remains uncertain whether the enriched uranium stockpiled and transferred between multiple sites in recent months was destroyed.

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
