Former US Secretary of State says Iran can restore nuclear facilities

Iran can very quickly rebuild its nuclear facilities that were damaged after the American strikes. This was announced on Tuesday, June 24, by former US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

"Although there is no doubt that the American strike has set back Iran's nuclear ambitions, it could still quickly recover in places and at depths virtually invulnerable to airstrikes, and at the same time continue to engage in armament," Blinken said in an article in the New York Times.

Initial reports indicate that although Iran's nuclear infrastructure has been severely damaged, it has not been destroyed, the diplomat added. According to him, experts have doubts about the ability of the unique American bunker buster bombs to completely disable nuclear facilities.

Iran claims that it proved powerless against nuclear facilities hidden deep under the rocks.

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump announced the entry into force of an agreement related to a complete cease-fire between Israel and Iran. Iran later confirmed the truce. The President of the Islamic Republic, Masoud Peseshkian, assured that the Iranian side would not abandon the cease-fire if Israel did not violate its terms.
