The Israel Atomic Energy Commission released a statement declaring:

 “The devastating US strike on Fordow destroyed the site’s critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable. We assess that the American strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran’s military nuclear program, has set back Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years. This achievement can continue indefinitely if Iran does not get access to nuclear material.”

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir added, “I can say here that the assessment is that we significantly damaged the nuclear program, and I can also say that we set it back by years, I repeat, years.”

International Atomic Energy Agency Chief Rafael Grossi noted that "[g]iven the explosive payload utilized, and the extreme vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred.”

Even Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei has now publicly admitted to Al Jazeera news, “Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that’s for sure.”

President Trump told reporters covering the NATO meeting that he would be meeting with Iran next week. Whatever happens in that meeting, President Trump has made one thing absolutely clear —Iran will NEVER be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

Christians in Defense of Israel is working with our contacts in Washington, D.C., and in Israel to bring you the latest developments, even as we work to defend the world’s only Jewish state. But we cannot do this important work without your direct financial support. Please, give generously to support our ministry today.

Finally, I ask you to pray for the President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu, as well as the people of Iran and Israel.
