JAKARTA - Although Iran's nuclear site was damaged by the US attack, Iran will maintain uranium enrichment, said Iran's top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ali Shamkhani.

Even if the nuclear site is destroyed, the game is not over yet, enriched materials, (political wishes) remain. With the right (defense legitimization), political and operational initiatives are now on the smart side, avoiding blind attacks. Surprise will continue!" wrote Shamkhani on X as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik-OANA, Monday, June 23.

The United States has attacked three Iranian nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan last weekend. US President Donald Trump said the attack was aimed at crippling Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Trump said Tehran should agree to "end this war" or face much more serious consequences.

Iran denies any military component in its nuclear project. As IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said on June 18, the agency's inspectors have not seen concrete evidence that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

The US intelligence community, contrary to statements by President Donald Trump and Israel, believes Iran is not trying to make nuclear weapons, as reported by CNN.

Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray told RIA Novosti Iran had shown extraordinary patience and peace over the past few years, despite Israel's actions.
