President Donald Trump said Thursday that Iran was not able to evacuate nuclear materials from a deep underground site bombed by long-range US planes last week.
“Nothing was taken out of facility. Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform, referring to the secretive Fordo site hit by B-2 bombers.
Trump said that satellite photos of a large number of trucks outside the site ahead of the US raid only showed crews attempting to protect Fordo with concrete “to cover up the top of the shafts.”
