Trump claims U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites also hit drug factories

Donald Trump, speaking at a Republican rally in Oklahoma, claimed that the 2025 Operation Midnight Hammer targeted Iranian nuclear installations that also functioned as drug factories. He said B-2 stealth bombers delivered bombs straight into the sites, describing the dual purpose of the facilities. Trump did not elaborate on the type of drugs involved.

The operation, carried out months before a full-scale U.S. war with Iran, was presented as a major success in halting Iran's nuclear ambitions. He linked the strike to the ongoing, stalled diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran. The president framed the action as both a nuclear and drug-related victory, emphasizing its significance in his campaign narrative.
