US EditionTrump Spends NATO Summit Trying to Rebut Early US Intel Assessment About Strikes on Iran
- On June 24, 2025, President Donald Trump and top officials attended the NATO summit in The Hague to rebut an early US intelligence report on strikes against Iran's nuclear sites.
- The US undertook military strikes about a week after Israeli attacks, but an early Defense Intelligence Agency report concluded these strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by months, findings Trump and his team contested.
- Trump cited a statement from Israel's Atomic Energy Commission asserting the strikes destroyed critical infrastructure at Fordo, rendering the facility inoperable, and compared the strikes to the 1945 atomic bombings as war-ending actions.
- Trump stated that the U.S. intentions remain unchanged and that they seek no nuclear weapons from Iran. He also mentioned that discussions between the two countries are planned for the following week, although details about the meeting format have not been specified.
- The rebuttal effort highlights continued US efforts to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities, while the NATO summit also focused on collective defense commitments and ongoing global conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine war.
