Following President Trump's decision to launch pre-emptive military strikes against nuclear targets in Iran, questions have arisen regarding the legality of the attacks and potential retaliatory measures from Iran. While Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth claimed that Iran's nuclear program had been "completely and totally obliterated," subsequent assessments by officials suggested it was too early to determine the extent of the damage. The discrepancy between Trump's assertion and the actual state of Iran's nuclear program highlights the uncertainty surrounding the success of the military operation and the reliability of information provided by the president.
