According to him, even if what Trump says is true, Iran "was not hit hard because the materials had already been removed."
Meanwhile, the Iranian Atomic Agency condemned the US strikes, vowing "never" to stop its nuclear program, reports CNN with reference to the Iranian state news agency IRNA.
The agency called the strikes a "gross violation of international law, including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN's nuclear watchdog, of "complicity."
It is also noted that Iran called on the international community to support the country and condemn the US strikes, and also promised "never to allow the progress of this national industry to be stopped."
Recall
US President Donald Trump announced a successful US attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. According to him, the operation was completed, and all aircraft left Iranian airspace.
Subsequently, an unnamed Israeli official told Axios that the Trump administration had informed Israel in advance about the US strikes on Iran. In addition, a White House representative told the media that Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the operation.
Another senior Israeli official told the publication that B-2 stealth bombers were used for the strike.
