Iran's foreign minister has admitted that "excessive and serious" damage was done to the country's nuclear sites in the recent US and Israeli bombings.

Abbas Araghchi told a state broadcaster on Thursday evening that an assessment of the damage is being carried out by the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran.

But, just hours earlier, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the strikes did not disrupt the country's nuclear programme. Khamenei was responding to US President Donald Trump's assertion that the bombs had "totally obliterated" three nuclear sites.

Khamenei said the US attacks had failed to "accomplish anything significant".

The supreme leader, who has been in hiding since the war with Israel began on 13 June, insisted that Trump had "exaggerated" the impact of the bombs, and declared victory over the US and Israel.

But Araghchi's remarks create a different impression.

The foreign minister also said there were no plans to resume nuclear talks with the US. Iran cancelled a scheduled sixth round of talks when Israel began its attacks.

"I would like to state clearly that no agreement, arrangement or conversation has been made to start new negotiations," he said.

He added that the government was examining what was in the "interest of the Iranian people", saying its approach to diplomacy will take a "new form".

He did not explain what he meant.

In an attempt to bring Iran back to the negotiating table, the Trump administration has discussed the possibility of helping Iran access $30bn to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear programme, easing sanctions and freeing up billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds, CNN has reported.

But developments in Iran might obstruct such a move.

On Wednesday, Iran's parliament approved a bill to stop co-operation with the global nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). If it is implemented, it would mean Iran is no longer committed to allowing nuclear inspectors into its sites.

Israel has said its offensive against Iran was necessary to thwart what it claims are Iranian plans to develop nuclear weapons.

Iran has always insisted its nuclear programme is only intended for civilian purposes.

The US became directly involved in the conflict last weekend, striking facilities in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, before Trump sought to rapidly mediate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said intelligence gathered by the US and Israel indicated the strikes "significantly damaged the nuclear programme, setting it back by years".

A leaked preliminary Pentagon assessment downplayed the significance of the damage and said the US strikes only set Iran's nuclear programme back by a few months. The leak has been dismissed by the administration.

Iran's health ministry said 610 people were killed during the 12 days of Israel air strikes, while Israeli authorities said 28 were killed in Israel.

Confirming what we already know.
I believe Iran will be a peaceful country from now on and refuse to sponsor terrorist

The mind game begins. Even in the US side , both opposing sides are reporting something different.

For the sake oooooooffffff ttttttthhhhhhhheeeeee 40 chhhhhaaaaaarrrrrraaaaaacccccctttttteeeeeerrrrrrsssss shit


Now



Yeah

It's true that Iran is a Terrorist backing country.

But, is that the real Reason they are being frustrated and attacked?

Hell No.


Without stressing this point further, imagine Nigeria starts Uranium Enrichment now with the aim of creating some 10nukes by the end of July, what do you think the reaction of these countries will be??

Its a tactic!

Even US intelligence already accepted that minimal damage was done.

Iran is just releasing that statement to take eyes off them.

Now they have pulled out of IAEA, and no one knows what happened there.

Moreover, satellite images show that they moved centrifuges from location prior to bombing which confirms that they still have the enriched uranium.


The next news that will hit the Media is “IRAN CONDUCTS NUCLEAR BOMB TEST”

Some dunces where arguing here that evacuation was made before the bombings. Trump ain't their mates

Where are the head slammers and terrorist sympathist who were saying that the enriched uranium was moved out before the strike. Una be Ezi

Admit, no Admit. Admit, no Admit.

Oya, abeg just Admit. Ok, I don Admit

So in your small mind Iran would be building something as huge as a nuclear reactor and nobody would know...? No wonder you reason the way you do..

Pulling out of the control agency is even the best alabii for the west to come in and destroy whatever they start constructing....I hope you know Israel just destroyed a reconstruction been carried out by hezbollah just today? Same fate await Iran and they know...contract and it would be destroyed, simple and ABC...

Either way Iran can never enrich uranium to weapons grade again..

No time for any nonsense...

According to APC moniker NINJAs. Iran won the war..


What a gathering of Delusional JOKERS.

Which university did you graduate from?

So you were told you need a nuclear reactor to develop a nuclear bomb?

Sigh…..
