Iran Nuclear Program undeterred by Recent US Strikes, Intelligence Assessment Finds

Washington D.C. – A preliminary assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies concludes that recent American airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure did not achieve the complete dismantling of the program as initially suggested by President Donald Trump. The strikes, conducted over the weekend, are estimated to have delayed Iran’s progress by only three to six months, according to sources familiar with the report. This finding casts doubt on claims of a “spectacular military success” and highlights the resilience of Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Limited Impact of US Airstrikes

The intelligence evaluation, which reportedly leaked on Tuesday despite being classified as “Top Secret,” indicates that while the attacks disrupted operations at facilities in Fodo, Natanz, and Isfahan, they did not destroy critical components like centrifuges or enriched uranium stockpiles. Instead, the strikes primarily focused on blocking access points to these underground facilities, leaving the core infrastructure intact. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed the report’s existence but disputed its accuracy, calling it “totally wrong.”
