Days after Iran said there were no signs of radioactive contamination following the US’s strikes on its nuclear installations, Tehran on Wednesday, June 25, admitted that its nuclear sites were “badly damaged” and demanded compensation from Washington.
On June 21, the US joined Israel in its attacks on Iran during the 12-day conflict and bombed the Islamic Republic’s key nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghei said the US strikes on his country’s nuclear installations caused significant damage.
“Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that’s for sure,” Baghaei was quoted by Al Jazeera as saying.
