Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said Tehran will file a complaint with the United Nations over the damage to its nuclear facilities and asserted that the U.S. must provide compensation. His comments came after Iranian Foreign Minister on Wednesday significant damage to its nuclear facilities following the 12-day conflict that began with Israeli strikes on key nuclear, missile, and military sites across Iran. After the White House rejected a report downplaying the U.S. strikes' impact, new intelligence claims Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed, according to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard."If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do," Gabbard wrote on her X account. Gabbard had previously assessed Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapons' program. Israel's Atomic Energy Commission backed Trump's assessment of the damage done to the Iranian nuclear site at Fordow.
A spokesperson for Iran's Health Ministry, Hossein Kermanpour, said 627 people were killed and 4,870 were injured in the conflict, with the highest casualty figures recorded in Tehran."I make no judgments, I do not describe the painful scenes of the arrival of injured children, mothers, and civilians, and I leave it to the judgment of humanity's conscience today!," Kermanpour said.
