By Emily Crane
President Trump vowed Tuesday that Iran will “never rebuild” its nuclear program — as Tehran’s atomic chief claimed arrangements are already being made to restore the bombed sites.
“IRAN WILL NEVER REBUILD THEIR NUCLEAR FACILITIES!” Trump declared in a Truth Social post.
The US dropped a barrage of massive bunker-buster bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday in a strike Trump quickly hailed as a “bullseye.”

Iran’s nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami said Tuesday they were still assessing the damage but insisted Tehran had been prepared for the onslaught.
“The plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services,” Eslami said, according to Iranian state media.
He added that arrangements had already been put in place to restore Iran’s nuclear industry.

It came as Trump ripped both Israel and Iran for breaking the cease-fire he’d brokered just hours earlier, saying that both nations “don’t know what the f–k they’re doing.”
“I think they both violated it,” Trump said of Israel’s threat to resume airstrikes after accusing Iran of a “blatant violation” of the truce.
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f–k they’re doing, do you understand?”

Moments later, Trump insisted in a Truth Social post that the cease-fire was back on.
“ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” Trump wrote.
