Strikes on Iran set back its nuclear program only several months, sources say
NBC4 days
The strikes achieved their strategic objective by severely damaging Iran's nuclear infrastructure and eliminating their ability to weaponize uranium. The leaked assessment is clearly an attempt to undermine a successful mission that used the most powerful conventional weapons available. Iran's nuclear program has been obliterated regardless of what anonymous intelligence sources claim.
The intelligence assessment is completely wrong and represents a deliberate attempt to undermine one of the most successful military operations in history. When fourteen 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs hit their targets perfectly, total obliteration is the only possible outcome. Iran's nuclear sites are completely destroyed and will never be rebuilt.
The intelligence assessment reveals that the strikes failed to achieve their stated goals, with Iran's uranium stockpile intact and centrifuges operational. This incomplete mission only delayed Iran's nuclear timeline by months while potentially motivating them to pursue weapons more aggressively. The administration is covering up the limited effectiveness of an operation that violated international law.
