Bret Baier Interviews Iranian Foreign Minister

Iran: Nuclear Sites ‘Seriously Damaged’ — Uranium Enrichment Completely Stopped

In a revealing Fox News interview Monday night, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that U.S. airstrikes last month severely damaged Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, forcing the regime to halt its uranium enrichment activities—at least temporarily.

“Our facilities have been damaged, seriously damaged,” Araghchi told host Bret Baier during Special Report.

Araghchi said Iran’s “automechanical organization” is still assessing whether any previously enriched material survived, further confirming Pentagon assessments that the strikes have set Iran’s nuclear program back by at least two years.

Pressed by Baier on the current status of uranium enrichment, Araghchi conceded:

“It is stopped because… damages are serious and severe. But obviously, we cannot give up enrichment—it is a question of national pride.”

President Trump has not responded directly to the interview, but has repeatedly said any future agreement with Iran must include:

• A permanent end to uranium enrichment.
• Full access for U.S. and allied inspectors.
• Iran’s abandonment of regional terror networks.
