Operation Midnight Hammer: Tehran faced ‘severe’ damage to atomic sites; Country ending IAEA Access

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Argchi on Thursday publicly admitted that the nuclear sites of the country established “significant and serious losses” on three facilities in the previous weekend US air strike, the first such official acceptance from Tehran. The New York Times said, “The loss has not been small, and our facilities have been severely damaged,” on Iran’s state television, the New York Times reported, confirming the full impact of Operation Midnight Hammer.The strike launched by the US B -2 bombers using bunker -busting bombs targeted Iran’s nuclear features in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Argchi’s comments rapidly contracted with Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who rejected the claims of US President Donald Trump’s “oblivion” in the first day as “exaggerated”.While Khamenei insisted in an previous video stating that the attacks “were unable to do anything important,” Argchi portrayed a more serious picture and also warned that Iran could end its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). “Without a doubt, we are obliged to implement this law,” he said, referring to a bill passed by hard-liners and approved by the Guardian Council that would suspend all cooperation with the United Nations Atomic Sentinel.“Our relationship with the agency will take a different shape,” he said, and said that a trip will not be welcomed by IAEA Chief Rafael Grosi at the moment “. Iran has also indicated that it may no longer allow IAEA inspection and stop filing monitoring reports, a step that has attracted global concern.Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmel Bagi had earlier admitted that the nuclear site was “badly damaged”. Israeli military officials and American intelligence have assessed in a similar manner that the strike has reduced Iran’s nuclear program to a great extent, with Brigade General AF Defreen said that it is “back set over the years”.US President Trump has defended the strike, compared to the atomic bomb blasts of World War II in Japan. “I don’t want to use an example of Hiroshima or Nagasaki … but it was essentially the same thing. Ended that war. This ended the war, ”he said.However, the major questions are unresolved. Iran has not revealed the fate of its 400 kg rich uranium, which is enough for about 10 atomic bombs, nor has it confirmed its advanced centrifuge status. These details can be clarified by IAEA inspectors, Tehran should allow access.Analysts, including Sina Azodi of George Washington University, believe that Tehran is using confusion for his benefit. The New York Times said Azodi, “Iran wants to keep everything in the dark … to play Poker’s diplomatic game,” Azodi was said by the New York Times.AraGhchi said that “no agreement has yet reached”, to resume the talks, the White House has maintained a voice of vigilant optimism. Press Secretary Karolin Levit repeated the administration’s commitment to diplomacy, saying, “President wants peace. He always has … and we are on a diplomatic path with Iran”.The next week is expected to negotiate, with special messenger Steve Witchoff supported by regional partners such as Qatar, the negotiations continue to be reversed. However, Argchi warned, “Going through war changes many realities … diplomacy should adjust itself in this new reality.”
