The Stunning Success of the Iran Nuclear Facilities Bombing the Leftist Media Still Ignores

Remember in June 2025, when the United States carried out targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities? The aim was to disrupt Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Immediately after the operation, the media narrative was swift and decisive: the strikes had “missed the mark,” inflicted only minor damage, and would set Iran back by, at most, a few months. Yet here we are three months later, and there has been virtually no reporting on Iran’s actual nuclear progress. The silence of the woke leftist media is deafening and telling.

The Initial Spin: “Superficial Damage”

From the start, the media framed the strikes as a failure. CNN reports cited a U.S. assessment:

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The New York Times added:

US strikes on Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility “severely damaged” but did not destroy the underground complex, a senior American official told the New York Times on Sunday.

CSIS weighed in as well:

U.S. and Israeli strikes imposed significant damage on Iran’s nuclear sites but failed to eliminate its program. The fate of Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile remains unclear.

Even Al Jazeera highlighted Iranian officials’ statements, while Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei asserted that President Trump had “exaggerated” the impact of the strikes. Wikipedia summarized the prevailing media assessment bluntly: the sites sustained “quite superficial” damage with no irreversible harm.

The message was clear: the strikes were a minor setback, a temporary nuisance at best. The media left little room for nuance or acknowledgment of the strategic blow these strikes may have dealt.

Three Months of Convenient Silence

Fast-forward three months. Iran has not announced any breakthroughs in nuclear weapons development. International monitoring agencies, while constrained, have reported nothing to suggest accelerated progress. In fact, a report from the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) recently concluded that “Iran has no viable path to produce weapons-grade uranium.”

Yet, legacy media, you know, the ones who immediately reported that Operation Midnight Hammer was a failure, remain entirely silent.

Consider the contrast: outlets that spent weeks portraying the strikes as a “failure” have now vanished from the story. If Iran had advanced toward a bomb, surely we would have seen blaring headlines, warnings, and condemnation of Trump. Instead, there is nothing but crickets. This absence speaks louder than any statement, and it reveals not a factual gap, but a selective editorial choice.

As usual.

What This Silence Suggests

The initial coverage shaped public perception, framing the strikes as ineffective and implicitly undermining the Trump administration. Three months later, the lack of follow-up reporting indicates that the initial “failure” narrative was grossly overstated and purposely designed to suggest Trump had failed, when in fact, most experts at the time knew Iran had suffered a catastrophic setback in their efforts to develop a nuclear weapon. In all likelihood, thanks to President Trump, Iran may never be a threat to develop a nuclear weapon again.

But of course, woke leftist media wants nothing to do with that story.

Public understanding of national security events is heavily influenced by which facts are emphasized or ignored. The initial portrayal of the Iran strikes as superficial, followed by months of silence, highlights a bias that goes beyond simple reporting.

The Drive-By media strikes again. Once they recognize there is no political value in a story, they move onto something else that might embarrass or damage Trump.

Government shutdown, anyone?

Weakened Ayatollah Still Won’t Cooperate

Recently, Ayatollah Khamenei rejected U.S. demands that Tehran abandon uranium enrichment. Yet, the story was buried in virtually every media outlet. Why? Because everyone knows the Ayatollah is a paper tiger. Whether he wants to enrich or not is largely irrelevant, because after the June bombing, he has neither the equipment, facilities nor intellectual capital to produce a bomb, and everyone knows it.

Nothing there for the leftist media to exploit, so on to something else.

Epstein maybe?

Ignore the Leftist Media

The June 2025 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were disastrous for Iran. Yet the media, in its initial coverage, declared them almost meaningless. Three months on, with no new alarming developments, the media’s silence is striking. The pattern is unmistakable: early exaggeration of failure, followed by a lack of reporting when reality does not fit the narrative.

For patriotic Americans, the takeaway is clear: always read between the lines. This instance is just another example where the contrast between the initial hype and the current quiet speaks volumes about the strikes, and about a leftist media willing to prioritize narrative over facts.
