US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities from Night to Sunday did not destroy the main components of Tehran nuclear programapparently just returned it in a few months. This is indicated by the initial estimate of US intelligence services, which on Tuesday, referring to three unnamed sources, informed CNN. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt challenged the report in response and described the alleged estimate as completely false, TASR writes.
United States on Sunday Iranian nuclear devices in Fordó, Nanza and Isfahane bombed the naddn. US President Donald Trump immediately declared that the attacks “completely destroyed” these devices. Similarly, his Defense Minister Pete Hegseth spoke of Iran’s destroyed nuclear ambitions.
The preliminary assessment of the impacts of the attacks was developed by the defense news agency (Dia), which is part of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon). It is based on the estimation of the damage that the US (Centcom) central command (Cent), one of the sources said.
According to the cited persons, the assessment shows that Iranian stocks of enriched uranium were not destroyed and the centrifugs are largely “intact”. Indeed, in all three Iranian facilities, mostly structures located above the ground were allegedly affected, which were seriously damaged.
According to analysts, it is still not clear whether US strikes have removed the nuclear threat of Tehran – It is possible that Iran has managed to move its supplies of highly enriched uranium outside the sites that were the target of Israeli and American attacks. The estimate of the dialy according to one of the sources is that The US has returned the Iranian nuclear program back “a maximum of several months”she said CNN.
The White House admitted that there was an assessment, but said he disagreed with it. Leavitt on the X Network wrote that the document was described as “strict secret”, but nevertheless it was said to “provided an anonymous unsuccessful employee of the intelligence community”.
“The leakage of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to humiliate President Trump and discredit the courageous fighter pilots who have done a perfectly executed mission to destroy the Iranian nuclear program.
According to CNN, the US is still too early to gain a comprehensive picture of the impact of their strokes, and the damage evaluation continues. None of the sources registered how the DIA report coincides with the aspect of other intelligence services. The US continues to collect news informationeven from Iran, CNN added.
