‘Bombs went through like butter' Trump declares as he rips critics who claim US attacks didn't destroy Iran nuke sites
DONALD Trump has celebrated his blitz on Iran again as he described US bombs as going through enemy nuclear sites "like absolute butter".
The proud president has been on a week long victory lap since he dropped 12 30,000lb bunker busting bombs on Tehran.

The US joined Israel on decimating Iran's key nuclear facilities on June 21.
Trump hailed the strikes at the time and said they obliterated their targets as planned despite some claiming the hits were less successful than first thought.
Three sites were reportedly hit including the main target - the Fordlow nuke plant.
Tehran has admitted since that Operation Midnight Hammer and the joint Israeli attacks did cause "excessive and serious" damage.
Speaking this morning with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Trump said the bombs easily performed as expected.
He explained: "The bomb went through it, like it was butter, like it was absolute butter.
"It was obliterated like nobody's ever seen before. And that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions at least for a period of time."
Trump also hit out again as those who had tried to say his strikes have only set back Iran's nuclear development program a few months rather than years.
A leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report first casted doubt on President Trump's "obliterated" claim.
The report, published by CNN and The New York Times, claimed they did not destroy Iran's nuclear capability by any genuine means.

Others had speculated online that Iran had been trying to remove the enriched uranium from the base so they could rebuild their operations once the US left.
The preliminary report even stated that Iran had managed to shift much of the uranium safely out - a claim Trump and US officials vehemently deny.
Responding to those claims, a defiant Trump said: "A lot of people have said, well, 'do you think they're going to start again?'
"I said, the last thing they want to do right now is think about nuclear. They have to put themselves back into condition, in shape."
The war in the Middle East lasted just 12 days as it quickly turned into a major conflict when Trump decided to strike the Iranian nuclear sites.
The attacks helped to end the war, according to Trump, with both Israel and Iran quickly declaring they had won the fight afterwards.
Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, claimed victory over Israel and America despite his country being hammered for almost two weeks.
The supreme leader ludicrously claimed Iran had almost crushed Israel and the government in Tel Aviv was on the verge of collapse.
That's despite the IDF controlling the skies over Tehran, assassinating dozens of top generals and nuclear scientists, and destroying dozens of valuable missile batteries in just 12 days of fighting.
Even with a ceasefire being agreed upon, Trump made it clear he would "absolutely" consider bombing Iran again if it was ever needed.
He told reporters in the White House he would "without question" attack the country if US intelligence pointed towards Iran enriching uranium to concerning levels.
It comes as Iran held a funeral for the commanders wiped out in the war.
The event was severely plagued by "Death to America" chants and the burning of Israeli flags across the day.

Mamdani knocks Trump criticism, hits back at communism accusation
When asked to respond to Trump's repeated assertions that he is a communist, Mamdani told "Meet the Press" on June 29 that he isn't, explaining that "I've already had to start to get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, who I am." "He wants to distract from what I'm fighting for," Mamdani said. "I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since then betrayed." Several leading Republicans have also called for Mamdani, who immigrated to the United States as a child, to be deported. Earlier in the day, Trump called Mamdani a communist and a "radical left lunatic" on Maria Bartiromo's "Sunday Morning Futures" on Fox News. "He's a communist. I think it is very bad for New York. I don't know that he's going to get in. It is inconceivable that he is," Trump said. Mamdani is not a communist. He is a democratic socialist. A communist believes in collective ownership of all property and the end of capitalism. A democratic socialist doesn't believe in ending capitalism, but aims to reform it through democracy Mamdani also said that he is committed to keeping New York a sanctuary city. "Ultimately, we've seen that this is a policy that has kept New Yorkers safe for decades. It's a policy that had previously been defended by Democrats and Republicans alike, until the fear mongering of this current mayor," he said. Adams called for changes to sanctuary city laws that advocates say protect migrants in New York. He has also pushed for more cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a move that requires a vote from the city council. The changes came shortly after the Department of Justice dropped federal corruption charges against Adams. Democrats accuse him of cozying up to Trump to avoid the legal challenges. Trump said Mamdani would be "very unsuccessful" if he tries to keep New York a sanctuary city. "If he does get in, I'm going to be president and he's going to have to do the right thing or they're not getting any money. He's got to do the right thing," Trump said. Trump said he would not publicly back a candidate in the race, which along with Mamdani, Cuomo and Adams includes a third independent candidate and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. "Whoever is the mayor of New York is going to have to behave themselves or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially," Trump said.

Iran could enrich uranium in 'a matter of months,' UN nuke chief says
Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said his agency was not making military evaluations but was using "logic" in determining that Iran's nuclear program could be up and running fairly soon. "They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that," Grossi said on CBS News' "Face the Nation." "But as I said, frankly speaking, one cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there." Status of Iran nukes: Few thought airstrikes could 'obliterate' Iran's nuclear program. Then Trump said they did. Grossi said he expects Iran will continue with a nuclear program, "the contours of which are still to be seen" and will hopefully be part of negotiations. Again, Trump disagreed. "It was obliterated like nobody's ever seen before, and that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions at least for a period of time," Trump said. "The last thing they want do right now is think about nuclear. They have to put themselves back into condition and shape." Grossi acknowledged that some of the uranium already enriched by Iranian scientists could have been destroyed as part of the attack. But some could have been moved, he said. Trump had a different opinion again, telling Fox News that moving the uranium is "very hard to do, very dangerous to do, it's very heavy." Iran didn't believe the U.S. would actually try to bomb nuclear sites and "didn't know we were coming," Trump said. Grossi described Iran as a "very sophisticated country" in terms of nuclear technology. "You cannot disinvent this," Grossi said. "You cannot undo the knowledge that you have or the capacities that you have." That should work as an incentive to reach an agreement, Grossi said. And the agreement should include an inspection system "that will give everybody ... the assurances that we can, we can definitely turn the page." Trump was adamant that Iran would not develp nuclear weapons under his watch. "Iran cannot have nuclear weapons," he said in explaining his reasons for bombing the sites. "They wanted this for years and they were weeks away from getting it." Trump ordered the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities - Operation Midnight Hammer - effectively joining a war that Israel started on June 13 when it began bombing Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure. Israel said it helped the U.S. coordinate and plan the strikes. Trump said all three sites were "totally obliterated." A Pentagon assessment was less definitive, and Iran says its nuclear program will hardly skip a beat. The actual damage and the impact on Iran's program could become more clear in coming days.

Fired federal workers lobby for help on Capitol Hill – is anyone listening?
The Tuesday Group was feeling something familiar as its members milled around a bank of elevators in the bustling basement of a Senate office building: rejection. They had often been told no over the past months – when the government moved to fire them with Donald Trump's blessing, when judges rejected challenges to that decision and when the lawmakers who they have taken to tracking down on Capitol Hill once a week when Congress is in session would turn a deaf ear to their pleas. More than 59,000 federal workers have lost their jobs since Trump took office, according to government data, but those in power have not changed their tune. This Tuesday morning, it was staffers of Maine's Republican senator Susan Collins who had told them no, even after they staged an impromptu sit-in in her office for the better part of a half hour. So they proceeded five floors down to the basement of the Dirksen Senate Office Building, hoping that some senator – any senator – would give them a moment of their time. Then the elevator doors opened and who should come out but Collins. 'Senator Collins!' someone in the group yelled. Another tried to introduce themselves: 'I'm a fired federal worker.' But the senator began waving her hands in front of her in an unmistakable sign of: I don't have time for this. 'Thank you,' Collins said, as she made her way down the hall. 'It's somewhat typical,' observed Whitt Masters, a former USAID contractor who has been unemployed since the end of March, when the company employing him decided to file for bankruptcy after its client began to shut down. 'You know, I don't expect every senator to stop and speak with us. I wish she'd been a bit more approachable, especially since we had spent some time in her office earlier today.' What's been dubbed the Tuesday Group has come around the Capitol since mid-February, as Trump and Elon Musk's campaign to thin out the federal workforce began to bite. Some who show up have been fired, others are on paid leave while a judge considers whether it is legal to fire them, and those who work for USAID expect to officially lose their jobs next Tuesday, when the agency shuts down. Democrats often welcome them, but when it comes to the Republicans who control Congress – and are weighing legislation to codify some cuts and make deeper ones in the next fiscal year – the reception has been uneven. They've been ignored, blown off and belittled – all things they would experience last Tuesday, their 17th visit to the Hill. Their encounter with Collins fruitless, the group formed something of a gauntlet at the intersection of a hallway leading between office buildings and to the Senate subway, a place where lawmakers were sure to pass on a scorcher of a day. They would call out to any face they recognized, but the group of 10 was nothing a determined senator couldn't handle. Montana Republican Tim Sheehy speed-walked by with a reporter and cameraman in pursuit; Washington Democrat Patty Murray pounded past in sneakers; and Arkansas Republican John Boozman ambled through alone, displaying no sign that he knew the group was even there. 'Would you like to hear how we are impacting your constituents?' asked Stephie Duliepre, who was fired from her Science for Development fellowship program at USAID, when Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn came around the corner. The senator pushed on, the answer apparently being no. John Hoeven, a Republican from North Dakota, exited a stairwell that deposited him right in the middle of the group. He appeared to recognize them – on a previous visit, attendees said that Hoeven had discussed his support for folding a major USAID food assistance program into the state department. 'I see you're still working on it,' he quipped, before heading off. The Democrats they encountered uttered words of encouragement, and a few stopped to talk. 'Don't give up,' Dick Durbin of Illinois said when he encountered the group. 'I'm with you,' Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin called out. South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham attempted the silent treatment as he came past, but Amelia Hertzberg, who was on administrative leave from her job in the Environmental Protection Agency, was not having it. She followed him down the hall, and started prancing around to get his attention. 'You have a bright future,' Hertzberg recalls the senator saying. 'Well, I was going to have a bright future, and then I was fired,' she replied. The group spotted Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican and prominent Trump ally. 'Senator Hawley, these are fired federal workers. Do you have a second to talk to them?' asked Melissa Byrne, a community organizer who had put together the group. 'No,' he replied. The group was aghast, but they'd been treated worse. When Mack Schroeder encountered Indiana Republican Jim Banks one Tuesday and introduced himself as having been fired from the Department of Health and Human Services, the senator replied, 'You probably deserved it,' before calling him 'a clown'. That was in April. The incident made the news, Banks refused to apologize, and the Tuesday Group kept showing up. 'I've spoken to the media and been on the radio. I've called my senators, my representatives, and it feels a little bit like shouting into a void,' said Hertzberg, who has made about 12 visits to the Capitol now. 'So it feels good to go into senator's offices and be there and take up space for a while and make them see, or their staff see that there is a person behind all this.'
