Iran’s Atomic Agency Denounces US Strikes on Nuclear Facilities, Plans Legal Response
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) issued a vehement statement on Saturday morning, denouncing the attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities located in Fordow and Natanz. The responsibility for these acts has been attributed to the United States.
According to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), the act of aggression was executed “with the indifference—or perhaps even the complicity—of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).”
A statement urged the international community to denounce what it calls a breach of law akin to “jungle rules” and to support Iran’s claim to its legitimate rights. The organization further assured the Iranian public that, in spite of adversarial plots, the advancement of the national industry will not be impeded.
The organization has prioritized implementing all essential measures to uphold the rights of the esteemed Iranian populace, with a focus on legal follow-up actions.
In an earlier social media post, Trump boldly asserted responsibility for the attacks, which constitute a violation of Iran’s territorial integrity and breach international conventions.
He stated, “Our operation targeting the three nuclear facilities in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—has been successfully concluded.”
All aircraft have successfully exited Iranian airspace following the deployment of an entire arsenal of bombs on the primary target, Fordow.
The announcement came after American media reported that the Pentagon was redeploying B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to positions near the Persian Gulf.
Press TV sources report that air defense systems surrounding three subterranean nuclear facilities were activated, effectively repelling the assault. The attack resulted in minimal exterior damage confined to the entry and exit points.
According to a source, all three sites had been vacated for some time, and the enriched uranium had been transferred to a secure location.
Trump issued a statement following a session of the National Security Council, convened to address the ongoing Israeli military actions against Iran and evaluate the potential involvement of the United States.
Earlier, Trump stated he would reach a conclusive decision on the issue “within two weeks.”
An official, in conversation with Press TV, stated that Iran is currently defending itself against the aggressions of both the Israeli regime and the United States, while Trump endeavors to create an illusion of triumph.
By aligning with the Israeli government’s conflict against Iran, the official stated, the United States has effectively positioned itself as an accomplice and heightened the vulnerability of its regional interests to potential Iranian counteractions.
An official stated that appeals for peace and a rapid resolution to the conflict reflect apprehension over Iran’s military capabilities and signify an acknowledgment of American shortcomings.
