President Donald Trump has claimed that Tehrans nuclear facilities were completely and totally obliterated
Iran's Fordow nuclear site did not suffer any serious damage in the attack launched by the US, Fars news agency reported on Sunday, citing MP Mohammad Manan Raisi from Qom Province where the facility is located.
US President Donald Trump has claimed that the Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan nuclear sites were "completely and totally obliterated" in the American strikes overnight.
Raisi told the agency that "contrary to the claims of the lying US president, the Fordow nuclear facility has not been seriously damaged, and most of what was damaged was only on the ground level and can be restored."
The lawmaker described the effect of the American bombing as "superficial," stating further that there were no fatalities and no radiation leaks at the site afterward.
"This US aggression means that America is directly entering the war, and now it is Iran that determines how and in what way to respond to this obvious American stupidity," Manan Raisi insisted.
Reuters reported earlier, citing an unnamed high-ranking Iranian official, that most of the enriched uranium had been moved from Fordow to an undisclosed location before the US strike.
Iran's Center for the National Nuclear Safety System confirmed the attack on the country's nuclear facilities, but said that emergency inspections at the affected sites had found no signs of radioactive contamination or leaks.
The International Atomic Energy Agency also said later that no increase in radiation levels had been reported at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement on Sunday accusing the US of launching an "illegal military attack on the peaceful nuclear facilities" in coordination with Israel, and in violation of the UN Charter and international law.
The Americans and Israelis "neither have the power of initiative nor the ability to escape heavy responses" by Iran, the IRGC said, adding that it has already identified the locations where the planes that took part in the attack are stationed.
