V BBC Persian:
A presenter on Iranian state TV said Donald Trump is “bluffing” about destroying Fordo nuclear site, adding that “only two tunnels at the entrance and exit of Fordo have been damaged”.
Iranian official media began downplaying the attacks early on, calling them “unverified reports”.
Morteza Heydari, spokesperson for Qom province crisis management, who had confirmed the attack on “a part” of Fordo, was quick to say afterwards that the whole province was “entirely calm”.
