"A detailed assessment of the damage is being carried out by experts from the Atomic Energy Organization (of Iran)," he told state television.
"Now, the discussion of demanding damages and the necessity of providing them has been placed as one of the important issues on the country's diplomatic agenda," he added.
"These damages are serious, and expert studies and political decision-making are underway at the same time."
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that air strikes that the United States launched against Iran's nuclear sites in support of ally Israel "obliterated" the facilities.

US talks to Pakistan about promoting ‘durable peace between Israel and Iran'
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif held a call on Thursday in which they discussed promoting 'a durable peace between Israel and Iran,' the State Department said in a statement. President Donald Trump, earlier this week, announced a ceasefire between US ally Israel and its regional rival Iran to halt a war that began on June 13 when Israel attacked Iran. Trump met Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House last week where they discussed Iran, which Trump said Pakistan knew about better than most other countries. A section of Pakistan's embassy in Washington represents Iran's interests in the United States, as Tehran does not have diplomatic relations with the US. The Israel-Iran conflict had raised alarms in a region that was already on edge since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October 2023. The US struck Iran's nuclear sites over the last weekend and Iran targeted a US base in Qatar on Monday in retaliation, before Trump announced an Israel-Iran ceasefire. Israel is the only Middle Eastern country widely believed to have nuclear weapons and said its war against Iran aimed to prevent Tehran from developing its own nuclear weapons. Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty while Israel is not. Pakistan condemned Israeli and US strikes on Iran even as it said earlier this month it was nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in bringing a four-day India-Pakistan conflict to an end last month.

‘Should be prosecuted': Donald Trump lashes out after Pentagon intel leak on Iran nuclear strikes
U President Donald Trump on Thursday accused congressional Democrats of leaking classified information about recent US military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and called for them to be 'prosecuted.' US President Donald Trump speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, June 26, 2025.(Bloomberg) 'The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted,' Trump posted on Truth Social, without offering evidence. The Republican President also criticised the media coverage of the leaked intelligence and demanded that the journalists involved in reporting the document be fired. The leak in question involved a preliminary assessment by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) saying that the recent strikes under America's Operation Midnight Hammer may not have had as severe an impact on Iran's nuclear program as initially claimed by the administration, reported news agency AFP.

In response, the White House announced tighter controls on classified information shared with Congress, a move that has sparked backlash from Democratic lawmakers. Trump administration escalates offensive against critics 'President Donald Trump created the conditions to end the war, decimating — choose your word — obliterating, destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities,' AFP quoted Hegseth as saying during a press conference at the Pentagon on Thursday.

'Whether it's fake news CNN, MSNBC or the New York Times, there's been fawning coverage of a preliminary assessment,' he said. He suggested the leak was driven by an anti-Trump agenda: 'It was leaked because someone had an agenda to try to muddy the waters and make it look like this historic strike wasn't successful.' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also attacked the media, calling the Iran operation 'one of the most successful operations in United States history.' She accused CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand, one of the journalists who reported on the leak, of being 'used by people who dislike Donald Trump in this government to push fake and false narratives.' CNN responded by saying it stands by Bertrand and her reporting.

He added that the operation was a 'spectacular military success,' he declared, a line echoed by senior officials, including Pete Hegseth. Operation Midnight Hammer Last weekend, American B-2 stealth bombers dropped more than a dozen GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow and Natanz. A third target, the Isfahan facility, was hit by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from a US navy submarine. The strikes came days after Israel launched an unprecedented air campaign on June 13 targeting Iranian nuclear scientists, military commanders, and enrichment facilities. Though Iran has maintained that its program is civilian in nature, Washington and its allies have long accused Tehran of seeking atomic weapons.

'Have Chills Talking About This': US Releases Test Footage To Prove Damage In Iran Strikes
Last Updated: In a Pentagon briefing, officials reinforced Trump's claims that recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities had "obliterated" the country's nuclear programme. The Trump administration insisted that the US operation against Iranian nuclear sites was a 'total success" and slammed media reports raising doubts on the efficiency of the military strikes, sharing a test footage to prove damage on the sites. In a dramatic escalation, the US deployed seven B-2 bombers that struck two nuclear sites in Iran with massive GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs last weekend, while a guided missile submarine struck a third site with Tomahawk cruise missiles. During a news conference, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General. Dan Caine shared test footage of the bunker-buster bombs to prove the damage caused by the bombs in Iran. The video seemed to show a performance test of the munition, the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator 'bunker-buster", which is specifically used for underground targets. Neither the site of the test nor the date of the test was disclosed. Pentagon releases test footage showing how bunker-busters work. @SecDef Hegseth: 'Because of the hatred of this press… your people are trying to leak & spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible." Gen. 'Razin" Caine, on the mission: 'I have about this." — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 26, 2025 'President Donald J. Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history, and it was a resounding success, resulting in a cease-fire agreement and the end of the 12-day war [between Iran and Israel]," said Hegseth. 'Have Chills Talking About This' Meanwhile, Caine said Iran attempted to cover the main shafts of the facilities with concrete in the days leading up to the US attack. 'The planners had to account for this, they accounted for everything. The cap was forcibly removed by the first weapon, and the main shaft was uncovered." Caine said the weapons were built, tested and delivered properly for Operation Midnight Hammer on June 21 and all guided to their intended targets. 'When the crews went to work on Friday, they kissed their loved ones goodbye — not knowing when or if they'd be home. Late on Saturday night, their families became aware of what was happening, and on Sunday, when those jets returned [to] Whiteman, their families were there — flags flying and tears flowing. I have chills literally talking about this," he said. Meanwhile, Hegseth said he was not aware of whether any enriched uranium was taken outside the nuclear facilities before the US attack. He indicated that the administration's claim that the sites were 'obliterated" was based on the capability of the weapons used. Israel launched an unprecedented air campaign targeting Iranian nuclear sites, scientists and top military brass on June 13 in a bid to end the country's nuclear program, which Tehran says is for civilian purposes but Washington and other powers insist is aimed at acquiring atomic weapons.
