Conflicting Reports Emerge on Iran's Nuclear Facilities Post-Strikes
News reports from Al Arabiya on June 26, 2025, highlighted conflicting statements regarding Iran's nuclear facilities following recent strikes. US President Donald Trump stated that no Iranian nuclear installations were evacuated prior to the American strikes. In contrast, the Financial Times reported that European leaders believe Iran had moved its uranium stockpile from the Fordow facility before the attacks. Further adding to the complex narrative, US Defense Secretary Pete Hekseth asserted that Iran's nuclear program had been completely destroyed. This claim was echoed by the head of the Israeli General Staff, who also confirmed the full destruction of these facilities, contributing to a significant decline in Iran's nuclear capabilities for many years. The Iranian Foreign Minister similarly acknowledged considerable damage to the nuclear installations. American intelligence agencies also corroborated that Iran's program suffered extensive damage due to the recent strikes.
