00:07to suspend the country's cooperation with the United Nations' nuclear watchdog.

00:42and the government of Iran's nuclear watchdog,
00:46The plan was passed in Parliament on Wednesday, with 221 votes in favor and one abstention.
01:04The council said the plan also emphasized safeguarding Iran's inherent nuclear rights,
01:09including the enrichment of uranium on its own soil.
01:13This will hinder the International Atomic Energy Agency's efforts to send inspectors to the three nuclear sites in Iran struck by U.S. forces last weekend.
01:24The United States said intelligence showed that the sites were destroyed with President Donald Trump saying that images on social media
01:31were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts, and it would take too long and would be too dangerous to move.
01:38The Pentagon maintained that Iran did not move uranium from the sites before the strikes,
01:44and added that they did not change their assessment of the damage at the sites.
01:48I'm not aware of any intelligence that I've reviewed that says things were not where they were supposed to be, moved or otherwise.
01:55No, no, I have not, and no, I would not.
01:59My job as a chairman is to offer a range of options to the president and the National Command Authority
02:06to deliver the risks associated with each of those,
02:11and then take the orders of the National Command Authority and go execute them.
02:16I've never been pressured by the president or the secretary to do anything other than tell them exactly what I'm thinking,
02:23and that's exactly what I've done.
02:24On June 22, U.S. Air Force's B-2 stealth jets dropped six Bunker Buster bombs on the Fordo nuclear facility
02:33and launched dozens of submarine-based cruise missile attacks on two other sites in Natanz and Isfahan
02:40that they said had obliterated Iran's nuclear program.
