Iran Downplays US Strike Damage, Talks Uncertain | JQJO

Following US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear program, intercepted communications reveal Iranian officials downplayed the damage, contradicting open-source reports. Meanwhile, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister cast doubt on upcoming US-Iran talks, demanding a halt to further strikes. A prominent cleric issued a death penalty ruling for those threatening Iranian leadership, potentially linked to past attempts to sideline the Supreme Leader. Iran, while suspending cooperation with the IAEA, reportedly allows inspectors to remain, and currency exchange offices faced technical disruptions possibly linked to recent cyberattacks.
