Iran spokesperson says its nuclear installations 'badly damaged' by US strikes

IRAN, JUN 25 – Iran admits U.S. airstrikes severely damaged nuclear sites at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, setting back its program by months, amid a fragile ceasefire brokered by President Trump.

  • On June 25, 2025, a representative from Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed that U.S. airstrikes over the weekend caused severe damage to the country's nuclear sites near Qom, including the Fordow enrichment facility.
  • The U.S. launched multiple airstrikes using B-2 bombers with bunker-buster bombs on June 23 to set back Iran's nuclear program amid an Iran-Israel conflict and ceasefire violations.
  • While officials admit significant damage, intelligence assessments remain inconclusive, suggesting core nuclear components may still function and the program was delayed by months rather than years.
  • President Donald Trump characterized the attacks as highly effective, announced a cessation of hostilities involving Israel and Iran, and encouraged Iran to pursue peace despite ongoing uncertainty regarding the full effects on its nuclear program.
  • Intelligence agencies plan to intensify monitoring of Iran's program in coming months, as renewed conflict risks rise if Tehran resumes nuclear development or pursues a bomb.
