Trump Urges for Post-Bombing Inspections of Iran's Nuclear Sites
Trump: Ready to Bomb Iran Again if Necessary – View Here | Trump's Remarks
Donald Trump has made it clear that he'd consider another bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities if the uranium enrichment poses a threat to the U.S. He also voiced his support for inspections of bombarded Iranian nuclear sites by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or a respected source.
"Yep, no doubts about it, positively," Trump responded when questioned about potential future bombings if necessary.
During a White House presser, Trump hinted at replying to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei, who claimed Iran gave America a good whack in the kisser by attacking a major U.S. base in Qatar following the U.S. air raid on Iran last weekend.
US Supreme Court to mull over birthright citizenship in October, Attorney General affirms: "I'm damn confident SC will back it" Trump also expressed his desire for IAEA inspectors or another trusted body to inspect Iran's nuclear sites post-bombing.
Trump asserted that the sites were "kaput," dismissing any claims that the damage wasn't as severe as he stated. However, he was open to the IAEA, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, investigating the bombarded sites.
According to the IAEA chief, Rafael Grossi, resumingI AEA inspections is his top priority since none have taken place since Israel initiated bombing on June 13. Yet, Iran's parliament voted in favor of suspending such inspections on Wednesday. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi hinted on Friday that Tehran might refuse any IAEA director's request to visit Iranian nuclear sites.
Trump cast doubt on Iran's intention to continue pursuing a nuclear weapon after the U.S. and Israeli bombing raids. He added that Iran still desired discussions about the future. The White House confirmed on Thursday that no meeting between the U.S. and an Iranian delegation has been arranged as of yet.

Insights:
- Several critical nuclear facilities in Iran were hit, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, during U.S. bombing on June 21, 2025. The Fordow uranium enrichment halls, due to their underground location and penetrating munitions, have uncertainties regarding the damage within[1].
- After Israel initiated attacks on Iranian nuclear sites on June 13, IAEA inspectors remained physically present but have reduced staff, ready to return when safety permits. However, ongoing inspections have been stalled since the initial Israeli strikes due to safety concerns[2][4].
- The IAEA continues remote monitoring of the affected facilities, providing frequent updates, and assessing the safety and security degradation caused by the strikes, with no radiological releases detected yet, but ongoing risks remain[2][3].
- The IAEA's Incident and Emergency Center actively monitors Iran, prepared to respond to any nuclear or radiological emergency triggered by the attacks[4].
- The Trump administration is pushing for a trusted body, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to carry out inspections of Iran's nuclear sites, particularly after a series of bombings, with the stock market closely watching developments in this sensitive area of finance and geopolitics.
- As the US Supreme Court delves into the issue of birthright citizenship in October, President Trump remains adamant that the IAEA or another respected entity should investigate Iran's nuclear sites post-bombing, especially given the uncertainty regarding the extent of damage to facilities like Fordow and the desired discussions between the two nations.
