Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged that U.S. strikes caused “extensive and serious” damage to its nuclear program, confirming claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump. Iran’s parliament approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, stating future inspections would require approval from the Supreme National Security Council.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Grossi reported that the strikes rendered the centrifuges at the Fordo site “no longer operational,” causing immense damage to Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Grossi stressed that Iran must comply with its obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and cannot unilaterally halt inspections, warning that failure to allow access would have “absolutely” serious consequences.
