The bombings of USA in three nuclear facilities of Iran Last weekend they did not destroy the basics of the country’s nuclear program.
According to with a first assessment of secret services in the US The bombings on Iran’s nuclear facilities, What they did is to go back a few months the Tehran program.
According to CNN’s report, the assessment was compiled by the Defense Information Service, the Pentagon’s Information Bracket. Is based In a battle loss estimate carried out by US central administration after US blowssaid one of the sources.
OR Analysis of damage to locations and the impact of Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing and may have changedI as more information will be made available.
But the first findings contradict President Donald Trump’s repeated allegations that the blows “completely and completely eliminated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been “eliminated”.
Two of the people who know the evaluation stated that Iran’s enriched uranium stock was not destroyed. One of the people said that The centrifuges are largely ‘intact’.
«So the estimate (of Dia) is that the US went back to perhaps a few months, at most“, Added that person.
Angry denial by the White House
The White House recognized the existence of the evaluation, but said he disagreed with it.
White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt told CNN: ‘She The alleged evaluation is completely wrong and was characterized as ‘extremely confidential’but nevertheless he leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low -level lost community of intelligence.
The leak of this alleged evaluation It is a clear attempt to underestimate President Trump and to discredit brave fighter pilots who carried out a perfectly executed mission to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows What happens when you throw fourteen 30,000 -pound bombs perfectly on their goals: complete extinction“.
The US military said the operation went as planned and that it was a “overwhelming success”.
It is still early for the US to have a complete picture of the impact of the blows, and none of the sources described how DIA’s assessment is compared to the view of other intelligence community services. The US is continuing to collect information, including inside Iran, as they evaluate damage.
Israel had hit the Iranian nuclear facilities for days preceding the US military operation, but claimed that it needed the US 30,000 -pound bombs to finish the job.
While US B-2 bombers dropped more than twelve of the bombs into two of the nuclear facilities, the Fordo fuel enrichment plant and the Natanz enrichment complex, the bombs did not completely neutralize the centrifugal and the centrifugal and the centrifugal.
On the contrary, the impact on all three locations – Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan – was largely confined to constructions that suffered serious damage, sources said. This includes the energy infrastructure of the installations and some of the underneath installations used to convert uranium to metal for the construction of bombs.
Hegseth also told CNN: “Based on everything we have seen- and I have seen it all- our bombardment campaign has eliminated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons. Our huge bombs hit the right point in every target and they worked perfectly. Bombs were not catastrophic, just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission. “
On Tuesday morning, Trump reiterated his conviction that the damage from the blows were significant.
“I think it has been completely demolished,” he said, adding: “These pilots have achieved their goals. These goals have been eliminated, and the pilots have to receive credit.”
Asked about the possibility of Iran to rebuild his nuclear program, Trump replied: “This place is under rock. This place has been demolished.”
‘Early to evaluate damage’
While Trump and Hegschez were optimistic about the success of the blows, Army General Staff President Dan Kaine said Sunday that while the damage evaluation is still underway, it would be “too early” to comment on if Iran still maintain some nuclear capacity.
Jeffrey Lewis, a weapon expert and a professor at the Institute of International Studies Middlebury, who carefully examined the commercial satellite images of impact points, agreed with the assessment that the attacks did not seem to end Iran’s nuclear program.
“The ceasefire came without Israel or the United States being able to destroy several basic underground nuclear facilities, including near Natanz, Isfahan and Partzin,” said Lewis, referring to the ceasefire between Israel and Irael. Partzin is a separate nuclear complex near Tehran.
“These facilities could serve as a basis for the rapid rebuilding of the Iranian nuclear program.”
Earlier on Tuesday, confidential updates were canceled both for the House of Representatives and the Senate on the company.
