# Officials in Iran are downplaying the impact of US strikes on its nuclear facilities, particularly the Fordow site buried deep in the mountains, in sharp contrast with US President Donald Trump’s claims that the attack “obliterated” them. An Iranian lawmaker Manan Raeisi claimed the attack was superficial and had not seriously damaged the facility. He is quoted by Iranian state media as saying most of the affected areas were above ground and can be fully restored. Components that may have posed a danger to public safety were moved earlier, and no nuclear radiation has been detected.
