US Strikes Damage Iran Nuclear Sites Without Confirmed Destruction

Recent U.S. airstrikes targeted Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, aiming to set back Iran's nuclear program. While President Donald Trump claimed the sites were "totally obliterated," leaked intelligence and experts suggest the damage is temporary and the key underground facilities remain structurally sound. Vice President JD Vance confirmed the strikes substantially delayed Iran's nuclear weapon development without risking American pilots but did not confirm complete destruction. Iran denies launching missiles toward Israel after a ceasefire, which was brokered with U.S. mediation following a 12-day conflict involving Iranian retaliation for American strikes. Iran's Foreign Minister condemned the U.S. attacks as violations of international law and emphasized Iran's right to self-defense, while both sides have accepted the ceasefire with ongoing military operations wrapping up. The situation remains tense, with indirect communications between the U.S. and Iran and calls for peaceful resolution amid concerns about further escalation.
