"Like Absolute Butter": Trump On How US Struck Iran's Fordow Nuclear Site
New Delhi: Bombs dropped by American B-2 Stealth Fighter aircraft went through Iran's heavily-guarded Fordow nuclear facility "like butter", US President Donald Trump said. Speaking to Fox News, Trump said, "They were trying to seal up the entrance to where the bomb would most likely go in and they did that. They were working on that and the bomb went through it like it was butter, like it was absolute butter." He added that the June 22 strikes on Iran's three nuclear facilities - Fordow, Natanz and Ifsahan - "obliterated" the country's nuclear program. Fordow was known as the country's most secretive and heavily protected site, hidden beneath a mountain and designed to resist airstrikes and foreign interference. Trump said that the bunker-buster bomb strikes reduced Fordow to "just thousands of tons of rock". He went on to insist that highly-enriched uranium was not moved from the site before the attack, a claim made by Israeli officials to The New York Times. "I think first it was very hard to do. It's very dangerous to do. It's very heavy, very, very heavy. It's a very hard thing to do. Plus, we didn't give much notice because they didn't know we were coming until just then," he said. The strikes on Iran's nuclear sites came as the Iran-Israel conflict continued to escalate, with the two countries strikes since June 13. The US claimed it had given Tehran an ultimatum to stop enriching uranium, the failure of which led to the strikes, that used high-end weaponry, including the dreaded GBU-57 bunker busters and Tomahawk cruise missiles. While Trump said a day after the that Tehran's nuclear program has been set back by decades, UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi says Iran likely will be able to begin to produce enriched uranium "in a matter of months". In Fox News ' "Sunday Morning Futures" program, Trump also said US trade talks with Canada will be stopped "until such time as they drop certain taxes". He went on to say that a group of buyers had been found for TikTok, which faces a looming ban in the United States due to its China ties, adding he could name the purchasers in two weeks. "Very wealthy people. It's a group of wealthy people," the president said, without revealing more except to say he would make their identities known "in about two weeks."

Iran asks UN to hold US, Israel accountable for war; demands compensation
Iran on Sunday submitted a formal request to the United Nations, calling on the Security Council to hold Israel and the United States responsible for the recent 12-day conflict between Tel Aviv and Tehran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi put the demands in a letter to the UN secretary-general.(AFP) Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi also demanded that both countries pay compensation and reparations to Iran. These demands were outlined in a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. 'We officially request hereby that the Security Council recognise the Israeli regime and the United States as the initiators of the act of aggression and acknowledge their subsequent responsibility, including the payment of compensation and reparations,' the letter read. A surprise Israeli strike on June 13 killed several senior Iranian military and nuclear figures, roiling global markets and escalating fears of a broader regional war. The conflict lasted 12 days, with the US also entering briefly as it bombed three key Iranian nuclear sites, Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. US President Donald Trump claimed the strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's atomic infrastructure, though a report from his own intelligence differed. A ceasefire agreement was reached on June 24, mediated by Qatar and the US. Iran sceptical about the ceasefire holding Both Iran and Israel have exchanged accusations of ceasefire violations, even as the truce has largely held so far. Iran says 627 people have been killed so far in Israeli attacks, while Israeli emergency services have reported 28 dead and more than 1,300 injured in Iranian strikes. But on Sunday, Tehran said it had serious doubts about the ceasefire holding for long. 'We have serious doubts about the enemy's commitment to its obligations, including the ceasefire. We are prepared to deliver a firm response if aggression is repeated,' Fars News Agency quoted Iran's armed forces chief of staff, Abdolrahim Mousavi, as saying. "We did not start the war, but we have responded to the aggressor with all our power,' he added.
