Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged that Iran’s nuclear infrastructure suffered extensive harm during its recent conflict with Israel, which lasted 12 days. As the situation stabilizes, the Iranian government is beginning to evaluate the extent of the losses.
“A detailed assessment of the damage is being carried out by experts from the Atomic Energy Organization [of Iran],” he said during an appearance on state-run television.
Araghchi stated that Tehran is now placing a strong diplomatic focus on the issue of reparations. “Now, the discussion of demanding damages and the necessity of providing them has been placed as one of the important issues on the country’s diplomatic agenda,” he added.
“These damages are serious, and expert studies and political decision-making are underway at the same time,” he said, emphasizing that both technical and political efforts are being coordinated to respond to the fallout.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has asserted multiple times that the American air raids on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, carried out in conjunction with Israel, were devastating in scope. According to Trump, the strikes “obliterated” the sites.
