The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said it is “very likely” that nearly all 15,000 centrifuges at Iran’s largest uranium enrichment facility were severely damaged or destroyed in an Israeli airstrike.

At the G-7 Summit held in Canada on Monday, President Donald Trump briefly touched upon the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran and urged Tehran to return to the negotiating table.
Responding to questions about reports that Iran was seeking to cool tensions, Trump acknowledged the overture, saying the Iranians would “like to talk.” But he was critical of their timing, adding, “They should have done that before. They had 60 days, and on the 61st day, I said, ‘We don’t have a deal.’”
He emphasized the urgency of diplomacy, stating, “They have to make a deal. It’s painful for both parties, but I’d say that Iran is not winning this war. They should talk, and they should talk immediately before it’s too late.”
