New Delhi, June 22 (NationPress) The Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran has declared that the recent assaults on its nuclear facilities represent a breach of international law. The organization, however, did not specify the level of destruction inflicted by the strikes previously announced by US President Donald Trump.
Trump claimed that the US military executed operations targeting Iran's Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz atomic facilities, with the inaugural strike occurring early on Sunday.
Iran has firmly stated that it will not permit the disruption of its national industry, a clear nod to its nuclear ambitions.
The agency from Tehran affirmed that these attacks contravene international regulations. "The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the malevolent schemes of its adversaries, with the dedication of thousands of its revolutionary and driven scientists and experts, it will not permit the cessation of this national industry, which has been built upon the sacrifices of nuclear martyrs," the statement read.
Previously, Trump communicated that the military had successfully targeted the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. "Our operation on these nuclear sites in Iran was a resounding success, with all aircraft now out of Iranian airspace. A complete payload of BOMBS was deployed at the main site, Fordow. All planes are safely en route home. Congratulations to our heroic American Warriors. There is no other military globally that could achieve this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he posted on the social platform 'Truth Social'.
He went on to describe this as a pivotal moment for America, Israel, and the globe, urging Iran to consent to conclude this conflict.
Earlier, Trump informed reporters that he has granted Iran a maximum of two weeks to return to the negotiation table regarding its nuclear program.
On June 13, Israel initiated airstrikes on Iran, damaging several infrastructures and resulting in the deaths of numerous Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists. In retaliation, Iran has launched missile and drone strikes on various targets within Israel.
