The initial Intel assessment found that Trump’s strike against Iran delayed nuclear plans for several months.
The initial classification assessment found the United States strike Tehran’s nuclear program was withdrawn for several months at Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to three sources familiar with its content.
The Pentagon’s military intelligence unit produced by defense intelligence agencies said the strike led to entrances to two nuclear-rich facilities, including Fuduo,become seal. Two sources familiar with the report’s findings said the recovery enrichment plan could be determined by the time when Iran cleans the entrance and repairs electrical and water supply.
One of the sources said the DIA evaluation also showed that some of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles were moved before the strike.
Officials familiar with the report warned that this is an early assessment that could change with more information about the website. The level of judgment included in the report is not yet clear.
Chief of Staff Dan Caine co-chairman said in a press conference on Sunday that a full combat damage assessment is still being assembled.
“The final combat damage will take some time, but the initial combat damage assessment shows that these three sites have suffered extremely severe damage and damage,” Kane said.
President Trump explain In his speech to the country, in addition, “Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely eliminated.”
He reiterated his claim in the Netherlands on Wednesday morning, where he was Participate in the NATO Summittold reporters: “They won’t make bombs for a long time.
“They really don’t know. I think Israel will tell us soon because Bibi is here to tell us, because [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] It will involve people in the whole situation. We heard it was gone, it was a virtual erasure,” Mr. Trump said, adding that he did not believe that Iranians “have a chance to stand out from their underground nuclear facilities.”
Mr Trump said the U.S. strike has made Iran’s nuclear program “basically decades.”
IDF spokesman Colonel Avitch Adre said in a social media post Wednesday that the IAA “based on assessments of military intelligence agencies, confirming that we have achieved success in operation #Risinglion to reduce Iran’s nuclear program for many years.”
IDF is the name of the IDF’s 12-day military attack on Iran’s nuclear and military sites, with some other targets related to its leadership.
this US Air Force The strikes joined by President Trump’s order, losing several 30,000-pound bombs at the Fudo uranium enrichment facility early Sunday morning. But one source said the DIA evaluation found that the site’s enrichment infrastructure, which is hundreds of feet below the mountain, was so deep that it remains largely intact.
Sources told CBS News that the assessment offers a range of possibilities for the time it takes for Iran to regain underground facilities and resume its work, ranging from months to less than a year. Sources added that warning Trump administration officials before the strike is a possible outcome.
The assessment was based on satellite imagery and signal intelligence, collected from communications by Iranian officials, a source said.
Current and former national security officials expressed concern that giving Iran any residual nuclear capacity, including access to 60% uranium and working centrifuges, could strengthen and accelerate the regime’s determination to build working weapons.
CNN previously reported some details included in the DIA evaluation.
The White House has postponed the findings. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the assessment a “wrong mistake” and said “anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community” leaked the “leak.”
“This leak of alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump and discredit the brave fighter pilots who performed a perfectly executed mission to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program,” Levitt said. “Everyone knows what happens when you throw a 14-pound 30,000-pound bomb perfectly on your target: Eliminate completely.”
Mr. Trump wrote in a truth-fact social position: “Iran’s nuclear ruins were completely destroyed!”
The Pentagon also supports the prophets of Defense Minister Pete Hegseth’s claim that the strike has “eliminated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
“The impact of these bombs is buried under the rubble hills of Iran; therefore, anyone who says the bomb is not devastating is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission,” Hess said in a statement.
Mr. Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff called the release of Dia’s report “treason” in an interview with Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle”. “We know the fact that “the ruins of Nataz were destroyed and talking about the Faudo strike, “without a doubt, it has disappeared.”
“It’s almost impossible for them to resurrect the plan,” added Wikov, adding: “It will take years.”
A Congress briefing on the government’s planned action in Iran on Tuesday was cancelled. A congressional aide familiar with the plan told CBS News that Senate members will be briefed by top intelligence and military officials on Thursday. House Speaker Mike Johnson said a similar housing briefing will be held on Friday.
Mr. Trump ordered a strike on Saturday against Iran’s Fordo and Natanz uranium enrichment sites and nuclear research institutions in Isfahan. operate – implement Cruise missiles with B-2 bombers and submarines launched – opposing Iranian nuclear and military sites during a week-long Israeli movement, attracting Iran Counterattack. one Ceasefire Effective between Israel and Iran, it appears to be holding.
The strike is intended to hinder Iran’s nuclear program. Iran has promoted highly enriched uranium stocks in recent months, which has raised concerns that it is moving towards weapons.
US intelligence agencies assess that Iran has not yet established nuclear weapons. Mr. Trump authorized a strike on the same day as Saturday Evaluate According to CBS News, Iran can build nuclear weapons in just three to eight months, but there is no sign that the country’s top leader has authorized efforts to do so. Other U.S. intelligence agencies say it will take at least six to eighteen months to create successful weapons.
But Israel claims Iran is “competing towards a nuclear bomb”, and Trump said last week that he believes Iran is “very close to owning one”. Iran insists that its nuclear program is peaceful.
