Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi publicly admitted that U.S. airstrikes caused “serious damage” to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure — directly contradicting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s earlier claims that the attacks had minimal effect.

00:00Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi publicly acknowledged for the first time that recent

00:24US airstrikes caused serious damage to the country's nuclear infrastructure, directly

00:32contradicting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's earlier claims that the attacks

00:37had minimal impact. In a rare and candid interview broadcast on Iranian state television, Araqchi

00:45admitted, the level of damage is high and it is serious damage, referencing assessments made in

00:51the aftermath of coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel. While Ayatollah Khamenei had

00:59previously downplayed the impact of the attacks, insisting that the Americans failed to achieve

01:05anything significant in their attack on nuclear facilities, independent evaluations by Iran,

01:11Israel and the United States all point to extensive destruction across multiple nuclear sites.

01:18The International Atomic Energy Agency, which is IAEA, weighed in on Tuesday with Director General

01:26Rafael Grossi confirming extensive damage at several nuclear sites in Iran, including its uranium

01:35conversion and enrichment facilities. According to the IAEA, inspectors observed widespread structural

01:43damage damage, particularly at facilities linked to Iran's nuclear fuel cycle. The strikes, part of the

01:51covertly coordinated Operation Midnight Hammer, came amid heightened tensions. Despite the damage

01:58and regional instability, Iran's retaliatory strike on the American Al-Odered airbase in Qatar was widely seen

02:05as symbolic. Khamenei described the attack as a heavy slap to the US face. Though President Donald Trump

02:13dismissed it as a very weak response, claiming that Iran had even given advance warning of the attack,

02:20minimizing potential American casualties. Araqchi said that the American strikes made it more

02:27complicated and more difficult to restart dialogue, but he stopped short of fully closing the door on

02:33future engagements. Nonetheless, US President Donald Trump offered a strikingly casual and contradictory

02:42statement during a press conference expressing both optimism and indifference regarding a potential

02:48agreement. As of now, there is no confirmed date of framework for resuming nuclear negotiations,

02:55despite Trump's ambiguous remarks. With Iran's nuclear program heavily damaged and domestic narratives

03:03diverging, Tehran now faces a complex choice. Return to diplomacy under fire or retreat further into defiance.
