Iran Says Nuclear Sites Evacuated Before US Strikes
Iran Says Nuclear Sites Evacuated Before US Strikes
"The Iranian nuclear sites that President Donald Trump says were struck by the United States were reportedly evacuated ahead of the strikes, Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency reported.
"IRIB's political deputy says that Iran had evacuated the three nuclear sites some while ago," Mehr reported.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social Saturday that the U.S. had struck Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space," Trump said, adding, "A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow."
