"US President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested that Israel sent agents to Iran’s Fordo nuclear site after US struck it earlier this week, insisting the attack was a success and warning that he was willing to strike again if Iran tried to revive its enrichment program
" 'You know they have guys that go in there after the hit, and they said it was total obliteration,” Trump told reporters at the NATO summit in The Hague, speaking about the bombing of Fordo.
" 'Israel is doing a report on it now, I understand, and I was told that they said it was total obliteration. I believe it was total obliteration, and I believe they didn’t have a chance to get anything out because we acted fast.”
"A leaked US intelligence report suggested this week that the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities did not destroy their underground components, and that much of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium may already have been spirited out of the sites before they were bombed. The White House has rejected the report’s findings, while condemning the leak.
"Israeli officials told the Kan public broadcaster Wednesday, responding to Trump’s comments, that they were unaware of any Israeli operation at the Fordo nuclear facility after the strike.
"US President Donald Trump says he will strike Iran again if it tries to restart its nuclear enrichment program, but he’s sure it won’t be necessary.
"Asked by a reporter if the US would carry out more attacks if Tehran rebuilds its uranium enrichment facilities, Trump said, “Sure. But I’m not going to have to worry about that. It’s gone for years.”
"Asked how long he thinks the Iranian nuclear program has been set back, Trump said: “I think it’s basically decades, because I don’t think they’ll ever do it again. I think they’ve had it. I mean, they just went through hell. They’ve had it.' ” . . . Full article here...
