Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Weatherington, a prominent figure in U.S. military affairs, recently provided his assessment of the Trump administration’s military actions against Iranian nuclear facilities on ‘Fox News Sunday.’ He discussed the operation, codenamed ‘Operation Midnight Hammer,’ which was carried out under the previous administration. Weatherington asserted that the strike likely caused significant damage to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, potentially disrupting its nuclear program for an extended period.
During the interview, Weatherington emphasized the strategic importance of the strike in countering Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He noted that the operation’s success could have lasting implications for regional security and international relations. Weatherington’s remarks align with the broader U.S. policy of containing Iran’s nuclear capabilities, a stance that has been central to American foreign policy for years.
While Weatherington did not provide specific details about the extent of the damage, he suggested that the strike may have dealt a substantial blow to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. He also highlighted the potential for the operation to deter further Iranian aggression in the region. Weatherington’s comments have been widely reported by U.S. media outlets and are likely to influence ongoing discussions about U.S.-Iran relations.
