Bombed by America, But Iran Says Nothing Happened, Seriously?
The Iranian government stated that the nuclear facility attacked by the United States last weekend is no longer active and does not contain radioactive materials. This statement was conveyed by the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Monday evening local time. According to him, the location hit by the airstrike had been previously deactivated and did not pose a threat to civilians or the environment.
The attack was part of the US response to the increasing tensions in the Middle East. However, Iran emphasized that the facility that was attacked did not store uranium and had not been used for nuclear activities for several months. "There is no risk of radiation. The location has been emptied of hazardous materials," said an official Iranian statement.
This statement came after President Donald Trump announced a full ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. Trump said that both parties would complete their final missions in six hours before the total ceasefire came into effect. This step was welcomed positively by the global market, because it signified the opportunity for peace and easing tensions.
Iran seems to be taking a restrained attitude. By calling the US attack a symbolic act, Iran is signaling that it will not retaliate directly. This statement also strengthens the perception that a major conflict can be avoided, and paves the way for a broader diplomatic solution in the region. (ayu)
