Trump certainly didn’t obliterate the Iranian nuclear program. From Philip Giraldi at unz.com:
There is a somewhat troublesome backstory to President Donald Trump’s glorification of how Saturday’s US forces attack on three Iranian nuclear sites that “completely obliterated” their targets was carried out without any declaration of war against a country that has not attacked and was not in any way threatening the United States. Minus any imminent threat as a justification, it was a direct Executive Branch challenge to the War Powers Act of 1973, which was intended to maintain the US Constitution’s clear intention that only the American “people” acting through their representatives in Congress should have the authority to start a war. That means that the attack on Iran was illegal and those who planned and executed it, presumably including President Trump, should be considered impeachable. Some Democrats in Congress are in fact already calling for impeachment.
Trump celebrated his victory over the Persians with a late night address to the nation while standing in front of his Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance. He told the public and the gathered media that “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Trump added that if “peace does not come quickly,” the US would execute more and larger attacks very soon. “There will be either peace or there will be tragedy. Remember, there are many targets left. … [I]f peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.”
Trump’s first five months in office have demonstrated that he has a deplorable disregard for the Constitution of the United States, preferring to believe that his self-declared executive authority as president overrides the constitutional prerogatives of both the judiciary and the legislature. It has also resulted in the government engaging in abuses that are manifestly illegal, ignoring due process. This has been evident in the handling of both the illegal immigration issue and in the repression of free speech for those who object to US support of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Starting an unnecessary war after getting elected president on a pledge to end Joe Biden’s wars is perhaps a manifestation of the hubris that drives the current thinking in the White House.
