WASHINGTON — One of the three nuclear enrichment sites in Iran struck by the United States last month was mostly destroyed, setting work there back significantly.
The recent assessment is a snapshot of the damage U.S. strikes inflicted amid an intelligence-gathering process that administration officials have said is expected to continue for months.
That assessment remains for now the current thinking on the impact of the strikes, officials said.
President Trump was clear and the American people understand: Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz were completely and totally obliterated.
The Isfahan nuclear enrichment facility in central Iran on June 16 and on June 22 after U.S. strikes.
Trump has since sought a new agreement with Iran that would block it from developing nuclear weapons.
Indirect talks between U.S. and Iranian officials failed to clinch a deal before Israel launched airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. »
