CIA says intelligence indicates Iran's nuclear program severely damaged
- CIA Director John Ratcliffe stated on Wednesday that credible intelligence indicates U.S. strikes severely damaged Iran's nuclear program, destroying three key facilities.
- This assessment contrasts with a leaked Pentagon report estimating the strikes delayed Iran's program by only months, and with Iranian adviser Mehdi Mohammadi's claim of no irreversible damage.
- The strikes targeted Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites, with the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission confirming the Fordow facility's critical infrastructure was destroyed and inoperable.
- President Trump proclaimed the sites were 'obliterated' and labeled media coverage that downplayed the damage as 'fake news' that misrepresented facts about the successful mission.
- The conflicting reports highlight ongoing uncertainty about the damage's extent, but the strikes and diplomatic efforts may delay Iran's nuclear ambitions by many years.
