The US military attacks on three of the Iranian nuclear installations from the end of last week did not destroy the basic components of the country's nuclear program and probably postponed it for a few months, according to an early assessment of American intelligence services, which was described by four informed people about it. The information contradicts the statements made by President Donald Trump immediately after bombing.
The evaluation, which was not reported above, was carried out by the Defense Information Agency, the Pentagon's information branch. It is based on an assessment of the damages caused by the fight made by the central US command following American attacks, one of the sources said.
The analysis of the damages caused by the sites and the impact of the blows on the nuclear ambitions of Iran is underway and could be changed as more information becomes available.
What did Trump say
But the first conclusions are in contradiction with the repeated statements of President Donald Trump that the blows have “completely and totally destroyed” Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, also said on Sunday that Iran's nuclear ambitions “were annihilated.”
Two of the people familiar with the evaluation said that the enriched uranium stock of Iran was not destroyed. One of the people said that centrifuges are largely “intact”.
“So, the evaluation (DIA) is that the US gave them back maybe a few months, at most,” added this person.
The White House recognized the existence of the evaluation, but said he did not agree with it.
Heavy words from the White House: A loser revealed the information
The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told CNN in a statement: “This alleged evaluation is completely wrong and was classified as” top secret “, but it was still disclosed to CNN by an anonymous level, a lower level failure in the information community. Hunting pilots that have performed a perfectly executed mission to destroy Iran's nuclear program.
The US Army said the operation went according to the plan and that it was a “overwhelming success”.
