Rubio announced a slowdown in the creation of nuclear weapons in Iran after the US strikes

Iran is "much further away from nuclear weapons" after the US strikes on Islamic Republic facilities. This was announced on June 25 by the American Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"The bottom line is that they are much further away from nuclear weapons today than they were before President [Donald Trump] took this bold step," he said in an interview with Politico newspaper.

He added that the US strikes had caused significant damage to various elements of the Iranian nuclear program.

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

On June 23, US Vice President Jay Dee Vance said that Washington had destroyed Tehran's nuclear program and hoped that Iran would not rebuild it, which would be a chance to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. According to the vice president, Iran has lost the technical capability to develop nuclear weapons.
