Trump has attacked the American press after revealing an American confidential document that questions the effectiveness of bombing on Sunday in support of Israel against Forto sites, south of Tehran, Natanz and Isfahan (center of Iran), AFP, quoted by Agerpres.
According to the US president, Iran's US attacks have caused the total destruction of targeted nuclear installations.
John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, also confirmed in a statement that, according to some “Credible information”Tehran's nuclear program was “Seriously affected by the recent targeted blows.”
“These include new information coming from a reliable and precise historical source/method, according to which several key Iranian nuclear installations have been destroyed, and their reconstruction could take several years.“Added the American Information Agency.
Iran recognizes that its nuclear installations have been “considerably affected”
On Wednesday, Tehran acknowledged that his nuclear installations were “considerably affected ” by the Israeli and American bombings during the 12 -day war.
However, the experts raised the possibility that Iran has been prepared for the attack by evacuating about 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, a level close to the 90% threshold to develop an atomic bomb.
“I can tell you that the United States had no indication that the strongly enriched uranium was moved before the attacks, as I saw that it is wrongly told.”the White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News.
Regarding what is now on the field, Karoline Leavitt says that “is buried under miles of rubble due to success of Saturday night attacks ”.
Aiea “lost the visibility of this material from the moment of the start of hostilities”
The International Agency for Atomic Energy (AIEA), with which Iran wants to suspend cooperation, “He has lost the visibility of this material from the moment of the start of hostilities“, said his general director, Rafael Grossi, on French television.
“I would not like to give the impression that it is lost or hidden”he added.
According to the respective preliminary report, drained in the press, the attacks delayed Tehran's nuclear program by just a few months, without completely destroying them, contrary to Donald Trump's repeated statements.
This disclosure angered the US president. He in particular announced a press conference held by the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, on Thursday at 8:00 (12:00 GMT), with the purpose of “to fight for the dignity of our great American pilots. “
We remind that, on June 13, Israel launched massive attacks on Iran, accusing him of trying to equip himself with the nuclear weapon, which Tehran denies, defending his right to develop a civil nuclear program. Iran responded to the Israeli offensive with rocket shots.
A fragile armistice, announced by Donald Trump, is in effect on Tuesday.
