Iran’s Supreme Leader says US strikes on nuclear sites achieved nothing | BBC News
Iran’s supreme leader has insisted the US “gained no achievements” from strikes on its nuclear facilities, in his first public address since a ceasefire with Israel was agreed.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the strikes did not “accomplish anything significant” to disrupt Iran’s nuclear programme, and said his country’s retaliation against an American air base in Qatar had dealt a “heavy blow” to the United States.
It came as Washington doubled down on its assessment that the strikes had severely undermined Iran’s nuclear ambitions. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said intelligence gathered by the US and Israel indicated the operation “significantly damaged the nuclear programme, setting it back by years”.
Previously, US President Donald Trump said the strikes against three key nuclear sites inside Iran “totally obliterated” them. He gad also responded furiously to a leaked US intelligence report which suggested that Iran’s uranium enrichment programme had only been set back by a few months.
Hegseth said the mission was a “historic success” and that the the enrichment facilities were now “inoperable”.
He said said the US was “not aware of any intelligence” which indicated the enriched uranium had been moved out of once facility, Fordo, prior to the Us attack.

As Canada continues to wage a trade war with the US, an internal battle is being fought over the country’s identity. Next month, voters in Alberta, the country’s wealthiest province, face a referendum on whether they want the opportunity to explore a separation from Canada.
Supporters say Alberta would thrive on its own, because of its rich reserves of oil and natural gas. Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned that independence would lead to years of economic and political turmoil, “right at a time the world is fundamentally uncertain.”
How might the Trump administration leverage this Canadian identity crisis? And how is the Alberta separatist movement complicating Carney’s “Canada Strong” messaging? Nadine Yousif, the BBC’s senior Canada reporter, explains.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to unveil plans that will see some asylum seekers flown to Rwanda in order to have their asylum applications processed.
The trial scheme would mean single men arriving in Britain via Channel crossings could be forcibly removed.
Refugee organisations have criticised the plans as cruel and urged a rethink.
The deal is expected to see the Rwanda, which is part of the Commonwealth, given an initial £120m as part of a trial, but opponents say the annual cost of the full scheme would be far higher.

Over the last week, the Houthis – an Iran-backed militant group in Yemen – have captured two strategic islands along the Red Sea coast, consolidating its control of a key international shipping route known as the Bab al-Mandab strait.
Saudi Arabia has relied on access to the strait for exporting its oil to customers in Asia. With the Strait of Hormuz already closed due to the Iran war, the Houthis’ control of this vital waterway threatens to deepen the global oil supply crisis.
Tristan Redman is joined by the BBC’s Security Correspondent Frank Gardner to unpack who the Houthis are, what they want, and how they have come to hold so much influence on the world’s economy.
