Iran confirms damage to nuclear site after US strikes

Tehran: Iran has confirmed severe damage to its nuclear facilities from US airstrikes.

In an interview with US media, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that the Fordow nuclear facility suffered significant and serious damage due to American bombing.

The Iranian Foreign Minister stated that the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is currently assessing and estimating the extent of the damage, after which a detailed report will be submitted to the government.

The United States had carried out attacks on June 22 targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. US President Donald Trump had claimed that the strikes were successful and that the Fordow nuclear site was completely destroyed.

On the other hand, US media reported that according to American intelligence assessments, the strikes did not destroy the core material at the three targeted Iranian nuclear sites.
