U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the visits, telling the New York Post that Israeli operatives entered the sites to confirm their total destruction: “They had people go in and said it was a complete wipeout.”

The Times report aligns with Trump’s earlier revelation that Israel deployed agents to verify the aftermath of its surprise offensive on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Trump insisted the strikes were so swift that Tehran had no time to hide its uranium stockpiles.

He claimed the attacks crippled Iran’s nuclear program, setting it back by decades, despite a leaked early intelligence assessment suggesting Tehran could recover within months.
