Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in an interview broadcast, the U.S. bombing of Iran's key Fordow nuclear site has "seriously and heavily damaged" the facility.



Araqchi said, in the broadcast on Tuesday, "No one exactly knows what has transpired in Fordow. That being said, what we know so far is that the facilities have been seriously and heavily damaged."



"The Atomic Energy Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran... is currently undertaking evaluation and assessment, the report of which will be submitted to the government."



The Washington Post reported on Sunday, intercepted Iranian communications downplayed the extent of damage caused by U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program.



President Donald Trump has said the strikes "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program, but U.S. officials acknowledge it will take time to form a complete assessment of the damage caused by the U.S. military strikes last weekend.
