(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump firmly rejected any suggestion that his administration is offering sanctions relief or negotiating with Iran, dismissing recent speculation as “phony” and doubling down on his claim that Iran’s nuclear program has been decisively destroyed by U.S. and Israeli strikes.
In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump stated unequivocally, “I am not offering Iran ANYTHING,” drawing a sharp contrast to former President Obama’s dealings under the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA. “Nor am I even talking to them since we totally OBLITERATED their Nuclear Facilities,” he added, referencing the unprecedented joint military operation that targeted Iran’s underground enrichment sites.
Trump’s message came amid mixed signals from the Iranian regime, which has publicly ruled out compromise but, according to reports, is privately awaiting instructions from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — who reportedly fled to a secure underground bunker during the strikes and has not been seen in public since. Sources suggest that some Iranian officials may be quietly open to negotiations with Trump, pending Khamenei’s approval, but Tehran continues to demand a U.S. pledge not to renew strikes as a precondition for any talks.
Appearing on Fox News, Trump elaborated on the scale of the operation, describing how bunker-busting bombs struck key nuclear sites like Fordow and Natanz with devastating precision. “The bomb went through it like butter,” Trump said. “The last thing they want to do right now is think about nuclear.” He insisted that Iran’s enrichment capabilities are now “nonexistent” and vowed never to allow them to resume. “Enrichment is a bad word,” he quipped. “I wouldn’t let that happen.”
The Iranian regime, meanwhile, has maintained a defiant tone. Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi demanded the U.S. commit to no further strikes, while Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei warned the International Atomic Energy Agency that its inspectors’ safety could no longer be guaranteed. Iran’s top general, Maj.-Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, expressed doubt over the durability of the ceasefire with Israel, signaling the regime’s readiness to resume hostilities if provoked.
At a Pentagon briefing, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine described the operation that struck Iran’s Fordow facility as “the most complex and secretive military operation in history.” According to Caine, twelve 30,000-pound GBU-57 bunker-busters were dropped with pinpoint accuracy by B-2 bombers, penetrating reinforced mountain layers and detonating within the facility’s core. “They went exactly where they were supposed to go,” he confirmed. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praised the mission’s success, although he declined to echo Trump’s “obliteration” language.
While U.S. intelligence reportedly intercepted Iranian officials downplaying the extent of the damage, the White House swiftly dismissed those accounts. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused The Washington Post of “helping people commit felonies by publishing out-of-context leaks” and asserted that “their nuclear weapons program is over.”
For now, Trump maintains that his administration is not in dialogue with Iran and sees no reason to begin. “They’ve been hit like nobody’s ever seen before,” he said. “Now they can sit in their bunker and think about what comes next.”
