Iran admits that its nuclear facilities were severely damaged after the US attack

Nuclear facilities in Iran, which were attacked by the United States on June 22, suffered significant damage. This was stated by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in an interview with CBS News.

"No one knows exactly what happened at Fordo. But what we do know at this point is that the facilities have suffered serious and extensive damage," he said.

According to Araqchi, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization is currently analyzing and assessing the damage. After that, the report will be submitted to the government.

Iranian Foreign Minister said he doubts the resumption of negotiations on the nuclear program with the United States soon, but does not reject the idea of diplomacy "in the near future.".

The day before, The Washington Post reported that the United States intercepted a conversation between Iranian officials, who downplayed the scale of the US strike. According to them, the consequences of the attack on nuclear facilities were weaker than expected.

• On June 22, the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. According to Fox News, , 30 Tomahawk missiles and five to six anti-bunker bombs could have been used.
• On June 26, the Financial Times, citing two European officials, reported that Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium was largely unharmed, as it had been moved from Fordow before the US strikes. Similar data was published by other Western media, for which was criticized by Trump.
• On June 29, Trump said that the Iranian regime did not have time to move enriched uranium before the US strikes on the night of June 22.
