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.

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.

West condemns 'threats' against head of nuclear watchdog
The UK, France and Germany have condemned what they describe as threats against the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and called on Iran to guarantee the safety of the watchdog's staff on its territory. "France, Germany and the United Kingdom condemn threats against the Director General of the IAEA Rafael Grossi and reiterate our full support to the Agency and the DG in carrying out their mandate," said a joint statement issued by their foreign affairs ministries. "We call on Iranian authorities to refrain from any steps to cease cooperation with the IAEA. We urge Iran to immediately resume full cooperation in line with its legally binding obligations, and to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of IAEA personnel," they added. The joint statement did not specify what threats had been made against Mr Grossi. Earlier, Iran said that it could not be expected to guarantee the safety of IAEA inspectors, so swiftly after its nuclear sites were struck by Israel and the United States strikes in the 12-day conflict that ended with a ceasefire last week. "How can they expect us to ensure the safety and security of the agency's inspectors when Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities were attacked a few days ago?" foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told a news conference. The IAEA's board voted earlier this month to declare that Iran was in violation of its obligations under the global nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iranian officials have suggested that vote helped pave the way for Israel's attacks. Mr Baghaei said that a parliamentary bill approved by the Guardian Council makes it mandatory for the government in Tehran to suspend cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. "Iran shouldn't be expected to accept its obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty when the UN nuclear watchdog has stopped short of condemning the attacks on Iran's nuclear sites," he added. Iran hits out at Trump 'psychological and media games' Iran has criticised US President Donald Trump's shifting stance on whether to lift economic sanctions against the country as "games" that were not aimed at solving the problems between them. "These [statements by Trump] should be viewed more in the context of psychological and media games than as a serious expression in favour of dialogue or problem-solving," Mr Baghaei said. The comments came after Iran's deputy foreign minister said that talks between Tehran and Washington cannot resume unless the US rules out further strikes. Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC that the US had signalled it wants to return to the negotiating table. "We have not agreed to any date, we have not agreed to the modality. "Right now we are seeking an answer to this question. Are we going to see a repetition of an act of aggression while we are engaging in dialogue?" The US needed to be "quite clear on this very important question", he said. The two countries were in talks over Tehran's nuclear programme when the strikes took place earlier this month. The deputy minister said that the US had signalled it did "not want to engage in regime change" by targeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mr Takht-Ravanchi also said that Iran should still be allowed to enrich uranium. "The level of that can be discussed, the capacity can be discussed, but to say that you should not have enrichment, you should have zero enrichment, and if you do not agree, we will bomb you, that is the law of the jungle".

Israel steps up Gaza bombardment ahead of White House talks on ceasefire
Palestinians in northern Gaza reported one of the worst nights of Israeli bombardment in weeks after the military issued mass evacuation orders this morning, while Israeli officials were due in the US for a new ceasefire push by the Trump administration. A day after US President Donald Trump urged an end to the 20-month-old war, a confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected at the White House for talks on a Gaza ceasefire, Iran, and possible wider regional diplomatic deals. But on the ground in the Palestinian territory there was no sign of fighting letting up. "Explosions never stopped; they bombed schools and homes. It felt like earthquakes," said one man in Gaza City. "In the news we hear a ceasefire is near, on the ground we see death and we hear explosions." Israeli tanks pushed into the eastern areas of Zeitoun suburb in Gaza City and shelled several areas in the north, while aircraft bombed at least four schools after ordering hundreds of families sheltering inside to leave, residents said. At least 25 people were killed in Israeli strikes, health authorities said, including ten people killed in Zeitoun. The heavy bombardment followed new evacuation orders to vast areas in the north, where Israeli forces had operated before and left behind wide-scale destruction. The military ordered people there to head south, saying that it planned to fight Hamas militants operating in northern Gaza, including in the heart of Gaza City. A day after Mr Trump called to "Make the deal in Gaza, get the hostages back", Israel's strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer, a confidant of Mr Netanyahu's, was expected today at the White House for talks on Iran and Gaza, an Israeli official said. In Israel, Mr Netanyahu's security cabinet was expected to convene to discuss the next steps in Gaza. On Friday, Israel's military chief said the present ground operation was close to having achieved its goals, and yesterday, Mr Netanyahu said new opportunities had opened up for recovering the hostages, 20 of whom are believed to still be alive. Palestinian and Egyptian sources with knowledge of the latest ceasefire efforts said that mediators Qatar and Egypt have stepped up their contacts with the two warring sides, but that no date has been set yet for a new round of truce talks. A Hamas official said that progress depends on Israel changing its position and agreeing to end the war and withdraw from Gaza. Israel says it can end the war only when Hamas is disarmed and dismantled. Hamas refuses to lay down its arms. The war began when Hamas fighters stormed in to Israel on 7 October 2023, killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took 251 hostages back to Gaza in a surprise attack that led to Israel's single deadliest day. Israel's subsequent military assault has killed more than 56,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to the Gaza health ministry, has displaced almost the entire 2.3 million population and plunged the territory into a humanitarian crisis.

"[A] Muslim who abides by his Muslim duty and suffers hardship or loss in their campaign, they will be rewarded as a fighter in the way of God, God willing."

The fatwa comes just days after Trump said he Iran's Ayatollah breaks silence after WEEKS cowering in bunker during Israel's blitz and 'obliterating' Trump strikes During the 12-Day War, the Israelis, on multiple occasions, suggested that targeting Ayatollah Khamenei was "not off the table".

Advertisement In a Truth Social post, "And he does not have to say, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!' "I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life." Trump also blasted the Ayatollah's claims that Iran won the war. Advertisement He said: "Why would the so-called 'Supreme Leader,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war-torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. "As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie." Iran's top mullah Khamenei, 86, claimed victory over Israel and America despite his country being hammered for almost two weeks. He ludicrously claimed Iran had almost crushed Israel, and the government in Tel Aviv was on the verge of collapse. Advertisement What is a fatwa? By Sayan Bose, Foreign News Reporter A fatwa is a formal ruling or interpretation on a point of Islamic law by a Marja - a title given to the highest level of Twelver Shia religious cleric. It calls on all Muslims, including the Islamic governments and individuals, to ensure its enforcement. In countries where Islamic law is the basis of the legal system, a fatwa can be binding. A fatwa issued by Iran's first supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini led to the massacre of 30,000 prisoners including some as young as 13 in a shocking two-month purge. The 1988 executions were revealed in the memoirs of Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri, one of Ayatollah Khomeini's closest advisors who went on to condemn his murderous act. In it, he accused prisoners of "waging war against God" and urged Death Commissioners in charge of the mass killings to "show no mercy".

Advertisement The Ayatollah said: 'The American regime entered a direct war because it felt that if it did not, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed. "However, it gained no achievements from this war. 'Here, too, the Islamic Republic emerged victorious, and in return, the Islamic Republic delivered a severe slap to America's face.' Trump floated the idea of a regime change in Tehran to "Make Iran Great Again" after bombing the Islamic Republic. Advertisement Less than a day after the US military blitzed three key facilities central to the Iranian regime's nuclear ambitions, Trump hinted that the Mullahs' regime could well be toppled. The president wrote in a post on Truth Social: "It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!" Trump's post came despite his MAGA administration repeatedly saying the US is not looking for a regime change in Iran.

Iran, which vowed to hit US military bases across the Middle East, sought its revenge by launching missiles at Al-Udeid Air Base - America's biggest military station in the region. But Tehran was said to have cooked up a fake attack after passing warnings to its Qatari allies, which allowed all US service personnel and aircraft to be moved out of harm's way. Trump dubbed the expected response "weak" before announcing that a ceasefire deal had been reached between the Israelis and Iranians.
