US Defence Secretary to give fresh info on impact of strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities

# US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to hold a news conference today to offer a fresh assessment of strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, following a stinging row over how much American bombardment set back Tehran’s nuclear programme. After waves of Israeli attacks on nuclear and military sites and retaliatory missile fire from Iran since 13 June, the United States bombed three key Iranian nuclear facilities at the weekend. The extent of the damage in Iran has become the subject of profound disagreement in the United States.
