—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: U.S. military sources reveal that the underground nuclear complex at Esfahan turned out to be deeper and stronger than expected, and may not have been fully destroyed by Tomahawks – FOX

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷⁉ Israeli Army Radio, citing Israeli officials:
There is a small possibility that the Fordo facility was not destroyed.
The United States launched strikes to ensure the destruction of the Natanz facility.
@TabZLIVE
Hmmmm, “small”… What a weird way to say that they failed.
—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Representative of Qom Province: ‘The Fordow nuclear facility has not been seriously damaged, most of the damage is above ground and in the tunnels’

Iranian state television displays a graphic of U.S. bases in the Middle East titled: “Within the fire range of Iran.”
“Mr. Trump, you started it, and we will end it.”
🇮🇷☢️ Statement by Iran’s Atomic Energy Following the Targeting of Nuclear Facilities:
“Following the brutal attacks by the Zionist enemy in recent days, early this morning, the country’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were subjected to savage aggression—an act in violation of international laws, particularly the NPT.
This action, which violates international regulations, unfortunately took place under the indifference—and even complicity—of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The American enemy, through cyberspace and by the declaration of its president, has taken responsibility for the attacks on the mentioned sites, which are under continuous IAEA monitoring in accordance with the Safeguards Agreement and the NPT.
It is expected that the international community will condemn this lawlessness rooted in “jungle rules” and support Iran in asserting its legitimate rights.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great nation of Iran that despite the malicious plots of its enemies, with the dedication of thousands of revolutionary and motivated scientists and experts, it will not allow the development of this national industry—built on the blood of nuclear martyrs—to be halted.
This organization is taking the necessary steps to defend the rights of the noble Iranian people, including legal actions.
IRNA: Local residents near Fordow reported no signs of a major explosion
Trump: Any future attacks will be much greater unless they make peace
Trump: We worked with Netanyahu as a team

Comments from an observer regarding the attacks corroborating the Iranian statement of limited damage:
If Fordow was gone, you’d see craters, electromagnetic rupture, emergency airlifts, seismographs lighting up, and IR flares beneath the mountain. Instead, we got a tweet from an account run out of Northern Israel, yelling “Fordow is gone”.
As of now, there is no SAR confirmation. No crater clustering. No multispectral flash analysis. No underground fire signature. No BDA loop. If Fordow still spins tomorrow, Washington just pulled off the most expensive influence op in bunker-busting history, only to watch Tehran climb the escalation ladder unscathed.
Not only the attack may have failed, but they just escalated with no strategic success.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Iranian Atomic Energy Agency full statement:
'Following the brutal attacks by the Zionist enemy over the past few days, the country’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were attacked this morning by the enemies of Islamic Iran in a brutal act that contravenes international law, especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
This action, which violates international law, unfortunately took place amid the indifference and even complicity of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The American enemy claimed responsibility via cyberspace for the attack on the aforementioned sites, which are under the continuous supervision of the IAEA, based on the Safeguards Agreement and the NPT.
The international community is expected to condemn the law-of-the-jungle chaos and support Iran in achieving its legitimate rights.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the evil plots of its enemies, with the efforts of thousands of its revolutionary and enthusiastic scientists and experts, it will not allow the development of this national industry, which is the fruit of the blood of the nuclear martyrs, to be halted.
This organization has put on its agenda the necessary measures, including legal action, to defend the rights of the noble Iranian people.’
