chairman Donald Trump On Wednesday, his claim doubled that we Bomb attack Fully destroyed Iran’s nuclear program, and he was on the attention being paid to an initial American intelligence Report that otherwise suggests.
Trump said about the Iranian nuclear site in Fordo during a news conference, “it is completely slanting,” before he in Fordo during a news conference before the NATO Summit in Hague, Netherlands.
However, an early American intelligence evaluation found that the US aerial attack on three Iranian nuclear sites did not completely destroy those features.
Instead, the US bomb blasts set back the Iran’s nuclear program back for a few months, not in years, according to the evaluation, which was first reported for the first time. CNN And matches other outlets including NBC News,
Trump on Wednesday acknowledged the existence of the Report of the Defense Intelligence Agency, which has not been made public, but has described journalists by familiar people. But he suggested the figures that informed that it was insufficient.
Trump said, “He made a report, but it was so, if you look at the dates, only a few days later, so he did not see” the sites said, Trump said.
“The report was not a full report,” he said.
He said that the evaluation stated that the damage to the US attacks could “be very serious,” and complained that the news outlets ignored the component in his reporting.
Reporting reduces the claims of Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the attack on Iran’s Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan sites on Saturday night “completely” the country’s nuclear program “slant”.
The White House angrily pushed back on the report. Press Secretary Karolin Levit called the initial evaluation “flat-out” and slammed “anonymous, low-level losing” in the “Intelligence Community”, who leaked the findings of the report to the press.
Hegseth said in a statement on Tuesday evening that “whoever says the bomb was not disastrous, he is just trying to weaken the President and the successful mission.”
The Pentagon has launched a “leak investigation” with the FBI, Hegaseth said on Wednesday. He also said that the report was initial and was called “less confident”.
Speaking with Trump at the press conference, Hegseth criticized “fake news” and defended the attacks.
“If you want to assess what happened in Fordo, you better get a big shovel and really deepen, because Iran’s atomic program is slanting,” he said.
The White House also sent reporters a screenshot of a statement by Israel’s Atomic Energy Commission, which announced that the US strike on Fordo “destroyed the site’s important infrastructure and neutralized the enrichment facility.”
The Commission said the joint attacks of the US and Israel have “set Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years.”
The situation in Iran and briefing for the House and Senate on the situation was initially set for Tuesday, both were suddenly delayed the same morning.
The Senate briefing was allegedly re-rested for Thursday and the house speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. The briefing of his chamber would be held on Friday.
