According to a video report by NBC News on June 8, 2026, President Donald Trump claimed that the United States is conducting constant surveillance over Iran’s damaged nuclear facilities using Space Force monitoring systems, which he said are capable of identifying details as small as a person’s name tag from space.
He made the remarks during an interview with NBC News anchor Kristen Welker at Kuster Farms in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, while addressing concerns about how the U.S. would manage buried highly enriched uranium at the destroyed sites.
Trump explained that if a diplomatic agreement is reached with Iran, both countries would collaborate to remove and eliminate the nuclear material using American personnel and equipment. However, he added that if negotiations fail, the United States would resort to military action to neutralize the threat before securing the sites.
He further stated that regardless of the outcome, the U.S. would maintain full awareness of activities around the facilities, emphasizing that any movement, excavation equipment, vehicles, or personnel in the area would be detected in real time.
Trump described the surveillance system as highly advanced, saying Space Force satellites and cameras continuously monitor the sites and can track even minor activity on the ground.
In his words, he claimed: “We have cameras on it all over it… if anybody walked there, I would be able to read your first name on your lapel… these are cameras up in space.”
He added that the system would detect any trucks, tractors, or digging equipment and that the U.S. would respond accordingly.
His comments highlighted his emphasis on advanced surveillance technology as a key tool in preventing Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program, whether or not a formal agreement is ultimately reached.
