Nuclear sites evacuated before US strike: Iran

Iran claimed it had already evacuated three nuclear sites before the US military carried out what President Donald Trump described as a "very successful attack," including on the underground Fordow facility.

“The three nuclear sites were evacuated a while ago,” said Hassan Abedini, deputy political director of Iran’s state broadcaster.

He also said that even if what Trump says is true, Iran “didn’t suffer a major blow because the materials had already been taken out”.
