MOSCOW – The US and Iran disagree when it comes to how much damage US air strikes caused to Iranian nuclear facilities, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said on June 25.
He said Moscow welcomed the ceasefire between Iran and Israel and hoped it lasted, and noted what he said were differing assessments of the impact of the US attack
“The one that carried out the strikes believes significant damage was inflicted. And the one who received these strikes believes that everything was prepared in advance and that these objects did not suffer excessive, significant damage,” he told reporters.
A spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said earlier in June that the US strikes had caused significant damage to Tehran’s nuclear facilities.
Earlier in the day, the Kremlin had said it thought it was too early for anyone to have an accurate picture of the extent of damage caused. REUTERS
