US EditionEarly US intelligence report suggests US strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by months: Report
- The US conducted airstrikes on June 21, 2025, targeting three Iranian nuclear sites at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, claiming to have severely damaged them.
- The strikes aimed to halt Iran’s nuclear weapons capacity amid existing concerns that Iran had enriched uranium near weapons-grade levels but had not decided to build a bomb.
- Fourteen 30,000-pound bombs reportedly hit the targets, yet intelligence indicated some uranium stockpiles and centrifuges survived, with Iran possibly relocating nuclear material beforehand.
- A preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency assessment found the strikes delayed Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months and disputed claims that the sites were completely obliterated.
- Officials and politicians remain divided over the damage extent, suggesting Iran’s nuclear ambitions persist and future monitoring and security measures are needed.
