An American officer, who was not authorized to speak publicly, confirmed the initial intelligence assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency that a large -scale American air campaign against three Iran nuclear sites on Saturday night did not “diagonally” Iran’s nuclear promotion program, as President Trump claimed, rather set it “.

CNN first published reports of Dia Assessment.

The official told NPR that the military officials provided an initial assessment of Intel to select Senator, including Mark Warner of the Senate, Democrat, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“I have a lot of questions for this administration,” Warner told all things Considered“What are the next stages? How do we ensure that Iran is no longer a race for a dirty bomb?

The full Senate was slated to receive a classified briefing from the administration on Tuesday afternoon, but was canceled and later shifted over the week.

White House press secretary Karolin Levitt slammed the CNN report, Say on social media It was “flat-out”, and ensuring that an important nuclear feature was destroyed. He said the leak “was a clear attempt to reduce President Trump.”

The White House did not immediately respond to NPR’s request for further remarks.

The assessment between Israel and Iran a day after a ceasefire declared by Trump is less than a day, both sides agreed to end the fight. Israel has repeatedly stated that its goal in the war was to stop Iran’s nuclear program, and preventing it from the ability to make nuclear weapons-a long-shared target by America

Speaking in the Air Force before Tuesday, Trump said the target was met.

He said, “They are not going to promote and they do not have nuclear weapons,” he said while talking about Iran. “And I will tell you, the last thing in his mind is nuclear weapons. They don’t even want to think about the atom.”

But Iran officials directly opposed it.

In a statement on X In Persian, Iran’s Parliament speaker Mohammad Baghar Gallibab said that Iran would completely “disregard” Israel’s demands to prevent a major component for a nuclear weapon from enriching uranium. He said that Iran will continue to move forward in its own interests.

Iran’s nuclear power agency chief Hamad Emli also confirmed this, A semi-official Iranian news agency is telling They were still assessing the loss from Saturday night attacks, but were already ready. “Our plan is to allow any obstruction in the production and service process,” he said.

America used Large-scale bunker-bomb bomb On Saturday, to target the three major nuclear features of Iran, which includes a single Fordo, a deeper inside the mountain.

Speaking After those attacks in the White HouseTrump called the strike a “magnificent military success”.

He said, “Iran’s major nuclear enrichment facilities have become completely and completely distracted,” he said.

But American official NPR stated that intelligence assessment concluded that especially in the Fordo feature, significant infrastructure was “limited” loss.

Independent expert NPR Talked in the post -day day after America attacks After analyzing the commercial satellite imagery, a similar conclusion came to a similar conclusion, saying that Iran’s nuclear enterprise was destroyed.

“There are some important things that have not been hit at the end of the day,” says Jeffrey Lewis, a professor of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Montere. “If it ends here, it is a really incomplete strike.”

Experts have long warned that Iran’s nuclear capacity is not only in its facilities, but also in its deep knowledge – something more difficult to attack.

“The simple fact is that Israel was never able to eliminate Iran’s ability to fully make nuclear weapons,” says Kenneth Palak at the Middle East Institute. “Knowledge is very widespread within the Iranian system.”
