A top Iranian official conceded Thursday that U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, on the night of June 21 and into June 22, did significant damage. This comes after Iran’s top leader signaled otherwise earlier this week.
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, told Iranian state television on Thursday that the country is still surveying damages and losses that were incurred in the U.S. strikes, which targeted three nuclear facilities that officials say were being used to enrich uranium. The facilities were Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
