Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei confirms the country’s nuclear facilities had been “badly damaged” in American strikes over the weekend.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Baghaei refuses to go into detail but concedes the Sunday strikes by American B-2 bombers using bunker buster bombs had been significant.

“Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that’s for sure,” he says.
