Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has refuted reports from US media outlets that claim the attacks on several of Iran’s nuclear sites have “completely destroyed” the facilities.
According to a first-class intelligence evaluation, the US bombardment failed to destroy Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, according to officials with access to the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), according to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN on Tuesday.
Iranian centrifuges were “largely intact,” according to two people with knowledge of the assessment’s description.
Prior to the US strikes on Sunday, a different source informed the US broadcaster that, in the opinion, enriched uranium had been moved.
Trump has argued that the US strikes have destroyed Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities.
Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform that “Fake News CNN and the failing New York Times have collaborated to disparage one of the most successful military operations in history.”
Iran’s nuclear sites have been completely destroyed, according to the statement! he wrote.
Trump responded to reporters’ questions on Tuesday regarding Iran’s plans to rebuild its nuclear arsenal, saying, “That place is under rock. That location has been destroyed.
The intelligence assessment was “flat-out incorrect,” according to the White House.
Everyone is aware of what happens when you drop fourteen, 000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets, according to press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who quoted them in a statement for CNN.
The intelligence report was also refuted by US special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
According to Witkoff, “every three of those had most, if not all, the centrifuges damaged or destroyed in a way that almost made it impossible for them to resurrect that program.”
It will take a number of years, according to my opinion and that of many other experts who have seen the raw data.
Witkoff referred to the report’s leaking as “treasonous.”
It needs to be looked into, “. And whoever did it, and who holds the blame, should be held accountable, he continued.
Shihab Rattansi, a reporter for Al Jazeera, reported from Washington, DC, claiming a new information war is raging.
He claimed that “figures in Washington are obviously very interested in disclosing a very preliminary assessment of the Defense Intelligence Agency’s bombings.”
He noted that a press release from the White House was obtained by reporters, claiming that it was “a clear attempt to demonize President Trump and discredit the brave fighter pilots who carried out a flawless mission to destroy Iran’s nuclear program.”
