Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) condemned the aggression on
the country\u2019s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, which have been
claimed by the United States.</strong></p>
<p>The agency said the three nuclear sites operate under the full
supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the \u201cbrutal
assault\u201d on them violates international law.</p>
<p>The AEOI said the aggression was carried out \u201cunder the
indifference--or rather the complicity--of the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA).\u201d</p>
<p>\u201cThe international community is expected to condemn this lawlessness
based on jungle rules and to stand with Iran in asserting its legitimate
rights,\u201d read the statement, adding that the organization assures the
great Iranian nation that despite enemy\u2019s sinister conspiracies, it will
not allow the progress of this national industry to be halted.</p>
<p>\u201cThe organization has placed on its agenda all necessary actions to
defend the rights of the noble Iranian people, including legal follow-up
measures.\u201d</p>
<p>Earlier, in a social media post, Trump brazenly claimed
responsibility for the attacks that amount to a violation of Iran's
territorial integrity and a breach of international conventions.</p>
<p>\u201cWe have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear
sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,\u201d he claimed.</p>
<p>\u201cAll planes are now outside of Iranian airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, #Fordow.\u201d</p>
<p>The announcement followed reports in American media that the Pentagon
was moving B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri
toward the Persian Gulf.</p>
<p>According to Press TV sources, air defenses around the three
underground nuclear sites were activated and the attack was
successfully thwarted, except for minor exterior damage at the entry and
exit points.</p>
<p>The source added that all three sites had long been evacuated and the
enriched uranium had also been relocated to a safe location.</p>
<p>Trump\u2019s statement came shortly after a meeting of the National
Security Council to discuss the ongoing Israeli military aggression
against Iran and the question of US involvement.</p>
<p>Earlier, he had said he would make a final decision on the matter \u201cwithin two weeks.\u201d</p>
<p>An official, speaking to Press TV, said Iran is currently defending
itself against the aggression of the Israeli regime and the United
States while Trump seeks to create an illusion of victory.</p>
<p>By joining the Israeli regime's war against Iran, the official said,
the US has effectively made itself a partner in the crime and exposed
its interests in the region to Iranian retaliation.</p>
<p>"Calls for peace and a swift end to the war are signs of fear of
Iran's military power and amount to an admission of American failure,"
the official noted.</p>
