Israel confirmed Wednesday that the U.S. airstrike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site over the weekend caused severe damage, rendering the facility “inoperable.” Israeli officials say the operation has significantly delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Key Details:

• The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said the U.S. strike destroyed key infrastructure at Fordow and crippled Iran’s uranium enrichment capability at the site.
• The statement, delivered on behalf of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, concluded that combined U.S. and Israeli strikes have set Iran’s nuclear weapons program back “by many years.”
• President Trump praised the success of the operation during remarks at the NATO summit in Brussels, calling it a “joint Israeli-American victory” and likening it to Israel’s decisive 1967 Six Day War.

Diving Deeper:

On Wednesday, the Israeli government released an official statement confirming that a U.S. airstrike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility had effectively shut down operations at the controversial site. The announcement came shortly after President Donald Trump previewed the findings during a press conference at the NATO summit in Brussels, noting that Israeli intelligence would provide details on the mission’s results.

“The devastating U.S. strike on Fordow destroyed the site’s critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable,” read the statement issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on behalf of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission. The report concluded that the joint American and Israeli military campaign had “set back Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years.”

Officials added that this delay in Iran’s nuclear capabilities could continue “indefinitely,” provided Tehran is prevented from obtaining new sources of nuclear material.

Fordow has long been one of the most heavily fortified and secretive components of Iran’s nuclear program, buried deep beneath a mountain near the city of Qom. Intelligence analysts had previously identified it as a central hub for uranium enrichment—one of the final steps in developing a nuclear weapon.

President Trump, who authorized the airstrikes over the weekend, hailed the mission’s outcome as a strategic triumph. Referring to the brief but intense military confrontation as the “12 Day War,” Trump drew historical parallels to Israel’s famed Six Day War in 1967, underscoring the speed and precision of the operation.

“This was a joint Israeli-American victory,” Trump said. “And we achieved it without a prolonged conflict or massive deployment.”

The Fordow strike followed a series of precision attacks by Israel on other elements of Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. Together, the coordinated efforts appear to have dealt a major blow to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, though experts caution that Iran’s response in the coming weeks remains uncertain.

The Israeli report marks the first formal assessment from a government directly involved in the strikes and is likely to shape future international discussions on Iran’s nuclear path.

Author Douglas Murray slams online entertainer Nicolas De Balinthazy ‘Sneako’ for supporting NYC Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani just because ‘he’s the only non-Zionist candidate’.

Sneako posted a video to social media showcasing his support for Mr Mamdani, stating the people of New York are ‘tired of the Zionism’.

“Isn’t it extraordinary he’s running to be mayor of New York and the thing he’s really best known for is his anti-Israel activism,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“Of course, that attracts a certain type of person.

“Isn’t it revealing when people like that guy there, Sneako, that he says, ‘I like him because he’s not a Zionist’, well that just means that he gets the support of people who think ‘great, this guy doesn’t like Jews, I don’t like Jews, lets vote for him’.

“What’s not being a Zionist got to do with being mayor of New York?”
