America’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear features did not destroy the country’s nuclear program and according to an early pentagon intelligence evaluation of the attack, perhaps set it back for months.

The Islamic Republic’s rich uranium reserves were not terminated in the bomb blasts, with sources familiar with an evaluation of the Defense Intelligence Agency to BBC American partner CBS.

The White House stated that the initial damage assessment was “flat-out wrong” and “a clear attempt to reduce President Donald Trump”.

The President has said that Saturday’s air strikes “completely and completely” have destroyed Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities.

The US hit three nuclear features in Iran – Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan – capable of entering the Earth’s 18 meters (60 ft) concrete or 61 meters (200 ft) before exploding with the “bunker buster” bomb.

But sources familiar with Pentagon’s intelligence evaluation say that Iran’s centrifuge is largely “intact” and the impact was limited to the above structures.

The entry of two atomic facilities was discontinued, and some infrastructure was destroyed or damaged, but many features, which are deep underground, were intact.

Unnamed sources told American media that the attack has only set the “a few months, top” back to Iran, and that any of its nuclear program may be based on how long it takes to dig and repair the country.

Sources also confirmed CBS that some of Iran’s rich uranium stockpiles were transferred before the attacks, before the attacks.

The US 30,000LB (14,000 kg) large -scale Ordnance Marmist Bomb was considered the only weapon that was capable of destroying Iran’s underground nuclear enrichment facilities.

In the coming hours after Saturday’s attacks, General Dan Kane, president of the Joint Chief of Staff, told reporters that it would take time to assess the damage done to the facilities.

But he said that “all three sites maintained extremely serious damage and destruction.” Satellite images showed six fresh craters around two entry points with two entry points on Fordo atomic sites -with two entry points and debris.

This is not clear from images, however, how much damage the sites below the surface.

Hasan Abidini, Deputy political director of Iran’s state broadcaster, claimed that the three sites targeted by the US were “while first”, and that Iran “was not a major setback because the material was already out”.

On the other hand, US authorities introduced the mission as a success, as is in the form of Israeli officials.

In a statement on Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that “Based on everything we have seen – and I have seen all this – our bombing campaign destroyed Iran’s ability to make nuclear weapons.”

Hegseth said, “Whoever says that the bombs were not disastrous, just trying to weaken the President and the successful mission.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that since the enmity with Iran started on June 13, Israel has managed to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, as well as to destroy the arsenal of its missiles.

Netanyahu said in the video comments released by his office, “We have removed the dangers of two immediate survival – the risk of nuclear destruction and the danger of destruction by 20,000 ballistic missiles,” Netanyahu said in video comments released by his office.

A report by Saudi news outlet Al Hadath, citing an anonymous Israeli source, said that Israel believes that most rich uraniums of Iran are buried under debris.

There are more than a dozen intelligence agencies in the US, which can produce conflicting reports based on their mission and field expertise. For example, the origin of Koronwirus is a matter of debate among the intelligence community.

David Albrite, president of the Institute for Science and International Security and an expert on the secret nuclear weapon development, said the damage initiated by Iran by US attacks would mean “This significant time, investment and energy” would be to restore their nuclear program.

In a post on X, Albrite stated that Iran is “under intensive investigation and observation from the United States and Israel,” and if it tries to rebuild it risks further attacks.

On Monday, Iran launched a missile attack on the Al-Yudid Air Base in Qatar and retaliated against the US air strikes, home to thousands of American soldiers. That attack was stopped to a large extent, and no casualties or injuries were reported.

Since Iran’s vengeance, President Trump had been urging Israel and Iran to agree to the ceasefire. Both nations later admitted during the day that a ceasefire is now in place.
