Iran spokesperson says its nuclear installations 'badly damaged' by US strikes
- On June 25, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei confirmed that U.S. missile strikes over the past weekend badly damaged Iran's nuclear facilities including the Fordow site.
- The strikes involved American B-2 bombers using bunker-buster bombs, but reinforced concrete reportedly protected some centrifuge machines inside key sites.
- An initial U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency assessment, labelled low confidence, suggested the strikes set back Iran's nuclear program by months but did not destroy core components.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Iran is now 'much further away from a nuclear weapon' and President Trump acknowledged intelligence remains inconclusive, saying, "The intelligence says we don't know."
- The damage will delay Iran's program and intensify intelligence efforts, but if Iran resumes its nuclear activities secretly, renewed conflict with Israel remains likely despite the holding ceasefire.
