WP: Trump condemned Obama’s Iran deal. Here’s how his own compares
The U.N. nuclear watchdog said the June 2025 strikes caused extensive damage, while Iran’s economy is projected to shrink 6% this year.
- Citing intelligence that Iran could produce 11 nuclear weapons within weeks, President Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facilities last summer, following his 2018 withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement.
