US war on Iran debate over nuclear strike success and ongoing threat

US officials have defended a military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, claiming they have been “obliterated” and are under constant surveillance. However, questions have been raised in Congress over whether the strikes achieved any strategic success, with critics arguing that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and conventional missile capabilities remain intact.

During a heated exchange on Capitol Hill, lawmakers challenged the Trump administration’s framing of the operation as a success, pointing to ongoing regional tensions, continued Iranian capabilities, and the financial cost of the conflict, which they say has reached billions of dollars.
