Initial Intel Assessment found a strike that was re -established by the Iranian nuclear program only based on the month

The US military attacked President Donald Trump ordered Iran’s nuclear facilities not to fully destroy the country’s nuclear program and the possibility of returning it for only a few months, according to two people who were familiar with the initial intelligence assessment.

The initial report, which was highly classified, was produced by the US Defense Intelligence Agency and the Central US Command.

Sources say the US believes based on early intelligence that significant damage is carried out but most of the structures above the ground.

According to sources, enriched uranium is not destroyed and centrifugal is mostly intact.

This finding was contrary to President Donald Trump and the insistence of Defense Minister Pete Hegseth that Iran’s nuclear program had been “eliminated.”

Tuesday morning, Trump told reporters, “I think it’s really destroyed.”

When asked to comment, Hegseth was trapped by his own assessment of the damage carried out based on the intelligence he saw.

“Based on everything we have seen – and I have seen everything – our bombing campaign eliminates the ability of Iran to make nuclear weapons,” he said in a statement given to reporters.

“Our big bombs reach the right place on each target -and work perfectly. The impact of the bombs is buried under the mountains of debris in Iran; so anyone who says the bomb does not destroy only trying to damage the president and successful mission,” he added.

CNN first reported Assessment, which can change because more information is collected on the attack.

Press Secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt also denied the findings, accused him of leaking to CNN by “low -level losers.”

“This assessment and leak is a clear effort to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilot that performs a perfectly executed mission to eliminate the Iranian nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pounds perfectly on their target: Total removal,” he wrote in a statement.
