Key Takeaways
AIUS President Donald Trump has said that the United States is monitoring Iran’s nuclear sites with cameras, adding that the country is able to identify everyone who enters or leaves these facilities.
In an interview with the UK’s GB News, Trump stated that surveillance includes the “Jabal Al-Fas” site and the three Iranian nuclear locations targeted by US strikes last year.
Trump asserted that the three nuclear sites were “completely destroyed,” while also noting the possibility that Tehran has another facility at “Jabal Al-Fas.” He said the US is aware of activities there, amid uncertainty about the nature of the underground installation.
The US president said Iran was two to four weeks away from acquiring a nuclear weapon before the American strikes, emphasizing that preventing Tehran from developing such a weapon is the main goal of US military actions. He also claimed his decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal during his first term helped delay Tehran’s nuclear program.
Trump added that the targeted sites contained large quantities of nuclear material suitable for weaponization, alleging that this material is now buried under millions of tons of rock, making access extremely difficult. He stressed that US strikes were not limited to nuclear facilities but also caused significant damage to Iran’s naval and air forces and command structure, according to his statements.
