“37 days of US bombing failed to force Iran into capitulation”
DISPUTED
The claim states there were '37 days of US bombing'. However, the authoritative Wikipedia evidence regarding the '2025 United States strikes on Iranian nuclear sites' explicitly describes the conflict as the 'Twelve-Day War'. A 12-day conflict directly contradicts the claim of a 37-day bombing campaign.
