An Israeli member of the Knesset is refuting claims made by President Donald Trump that one of Iran’s foremost nuclear weapons sites has been “obliterated” following strikes by B-2 bombers using bunker buster munitions earlier this week.
During the NATO summit on Wednesday morning, Trump asserted that intelligence agents had inspected the Fordow facility and declared its destruction. But MK Aryeh Deri rejected Trump’s claim that Israeli operatives had visited Iranian nuclear sites to assess the aftermath of the strikes.
“No one knows—because no one has visited there yet,” the ultra-Orthodox lawmaker told Haredi news site Kikar Hashabbat. “According to all the statistics, assessments, and satellite imagery, damage has been caused there.”
