Speaking to the New York Post, President Trump called the overnight U.S. strike near the Iranian city of Isfahan a “beauty,” but declined to disclose what the bombing hit. The president posted a video of the attack on Truth Social, showing enormous explosions lighting up the night sky. Isfahan is the location of one of three nuclear sites that the U.S. bombed in June 2025.

“It’ll come out, but it was just another one of their wonderful areas that we took care of,” he told the Post.

“That was a beauty,” he added. “That was a beauty. That was stuff that we blew up. That was some explosion.”

The president also said he believes the Strait of Hormuz will open “automatically” by “whoever’s controlling the oil.” The strait’s effective closure has strangled the flow of oil internationally, sending prices across the globe skyrocketing.

“Well, I think it’ll automatically open, but my attitude is, I’ve obliterated the country,” he told the Post. “They have no strength left, and let the countries that are using the strait, let them go and open it … because I would imagine whoever’s controlling the oil will be very happy to open the strait.”
