The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief told Fox News today that the damage done by President Trump to Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities is extensive, saying their nuclear program has been set back “significantly, significantly.”

Another watchdog said “It will be a long time before Iran comes anywhere near the capability it had before the attack.”

The U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities set back the Islamic Republic’s program “significantly,” the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog organization said Tuesday.

“I think the Iranian nuclear program has been set back significantly, significantly,” International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general Rafael Grossi said in a Fox News interview. He noted that “it is clear that there is one Iran—before June 13, nuclear Iran—and one now,” describing the difference as “night and day.”

Just before the Tuesday afternoon interview, the IAEA revealed that it detected “extensive damage at several nuclear sites in Iran, including its uranium conversion and enrichment facilities.” That damage caused a radioactive release, according to the organization.

“Our assessment is that there has been some localized radioactive as well as chemical release inside the affected facilities that contained nuclear material—mainly uranium enriched to varying degrees—but there has been no report of increased off-site radiation levels,” Grossi said in the IAEA statement. The organization observed “two impact holes from the U.S. strikes” at Iran’s Natanz enrichment site above “the underground halls that had been used for enrichment as well as for storage,” according to the statement, in which Grossi also said he saw “extensive damage at several nuclear sites in Iran, including its uranium conversion and enrichment facilities.”

David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security, meanwhile, released a post-attack battle damage assessment based on satellite imagery of the targeted Iranian facilities as well as reporting from the IAEA and Israel Defense Forces (IDF). He determined that the U.S. and Israeli strikes “effectively destroyed Iran’s centrifuge enrichment program.”

“It will be a long time before Iran comes anywhere near the capability it had before the attack,” Albright’s report states.

The assessments from the IAEA and Albright align with proclamations from members of the Trump administration, including President Donald Trump himself, who have described the state of the Iranian nuclear program as “devastated” and “obliterated” after the United States’ Saturday evening bombing run. But they contradict reporting from CNN that suggested the strikes did not destroy significant portions of Iran’s nuclear program and only set the Islamic Republic back in its quest to develop a bomb by a few months.
