"If it [the stockpile of enriched uranium] is intact and Iran is able to keep it that way, they could potentially use it in a new covert enrichment facility to produce material for several nuclear weapons in a matter of months."

"I can say to the American people with great confidence that they [Iranians] are much further away from a nuclear program today than they were 24 hours ago."

"Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure."

"Israel's and U.S. attacks have effectively destroyed Iran's centrifuge enrichment program."

"The American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran's military nuclear program, has set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years."

"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."

"We may be entering a new era of protracted conflict—with Iran at the center of it."

"Any deal will be at best fragile, or at worst impossible."

"Tehran probably perceives the ceasefire as a pause in hostilities rather than anything permanent, and it is preparing for renewed conflict accordingly."

"A lasting settlement remains unlikely because Iran wants continued leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and cannot accept an outcome portrayed as a U.S. victory. "

"A comprehensive settlement is unlikely to emerge quickly."

"There is a possibility that this ceasefire could pave the way for a more permanent deal, but it is more likely this will be a temporary and fragile understanding that will, in the best-case scenario, prevent renewed war through the end of this administration."

"I think that this probably will lead to a cessation of hostilities, but it's unlikely to lead to a full agreement that really satisfies everything that on the one hand, the Trump administration would like and on the other hand that the Iranian regime would like, because I think that the two sides just still sit too far apart."

“The most likely negotiation outcome is an ambiguous version of the cease-fire continuing indefinitely, which, while unseemly, is better than the alternative,”

"I suspect it will hold because both sides have a strong economic incentive to get energy flowing to global markets."

"There is a 99% chance that U.S. x Iran will reach a permanent peace deal by December 31, 2026."

Will the US and Iran Establish a Lasting Ceasefire Before 2027?

U.S. investigators administered polygraph examinations to roughly 50 military officers and civilian employees on the Joint Staff in August as part of an inquiry into leaks to journalists about depleted munitions stockpiles, The New York Times reported Friday.

U.S. investigators administered polygraph examinations to roughly 50 military officers and civilian employees on the Joint Staff in August as part of an inquiry into leaks to journalists about depleted munitions stockpiles, The New York Times reported Friday.

Investigators asked whether personnel had given classified information to the press, including details on stocks of long-range missiles and Patriot air-defense interceptors. Two officials told CBS News that no one failed the questions about leaking.

Several dozen additional officials, including some at U.S. Central Command and other combatant commands, were tested earlier in the summer. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was not among those examined.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the department does not discuss internal personnel or investigative matters but "takes all leaks of classified national security information extremely seriously." The department has not identified a suspected leaker.

Trump wrote on Truth Social in August that the U.S. holds "massive amounts" of munitions and that leakers of "treasonous statements" were being hunted down, adding that long-term jail sentences would be sought.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced in July that the Pentagon and Justice Department formed a joint task force to identify and prosecute suspected leakers. Hegseth has removed or blocked promotions for at least 80 generals, admirals and other officials.
