Early US intelligence report suggests US strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by months: Report
- President Donald Trump addressed the NATO summit in The Hague on Wednesday, claiming his airstrikes had obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities.
- This contrasted with a Monday Defense Intelligence Agency report indicating the strikes only set Iran's nuclear program back by a few months.
- The DIA found that strikes at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan caused significant damage but did not destroy the underground infrastructure or centrifuges critical for uranium enrichment.
- Trump called the DIA assessment 'fake news' and dismissed intelligence as 'very inconclusive,' while experts noted Iran might covertly continue enrichment using diverted centrifuges.
- The dispute suggests the US strikes partially delayed Iran's nuclear efforts, raising concerns about Tehran's potential to rebuild and the need for renewed diplomatic negotiations.
