Iran’s Foreign Ministry publicly admitted for the first time Wednesday that its nuclear sites were “badly damaged” by the American bunker-busting bombs.
The ministry did not elaborate on the full extent of the damage. However, its admission comes as the White House trashed a leaked, “low confidence” preliminary intelligence assessment that claimed the strikes were not severe and potentially only set Iran’s program back by months.
President Trump has maintained that Iran suffered “total obliteration” from the bombing over the weekend and was adamant Wednesday that it set Iran back “basically decades.”
“Israel is doing a report on it now, I understand, and I was told that they said it was total obliteration,” Trump told reporters during the 2025 NATO summit on Wednesday.
“You know they have guys that go in there after the hit, and they said it was total obliteration,” went on. “I believe it was total obliteration.”
