Iran’s foreign minister confirmed this week that U.S. airstrikes left the country’s nuclear facilities “destroyed” but said Iran would continue to enrich uranium. This comes about a month after three facilities were targeted.

“Our facilities have been damaged, seriously damaged, the extent of which is now under evaluation,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed in a Fox News “Special Report” interview on July 21.
