Iran has today admitted its nuclear facilities were 'badly damaged' by US bombs after Donald Trump insisted they were 'obliterated' and lashed out at 'fake' news coverage suggesting he failed to deliver a knock-out blow. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei conceded there had been significant impact caused by American bunker-busting bombs at the country's three main nuclear sites at Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.
