US strikes did not destroy Iran nuclear programme, says intelligence assessment
US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities did not destroy the country's nuclear program, only setting it back by a few months, an early Pentagon intelligence assessment reveals. Enriched uranium stockpiles in Iran were not eliminated in the bombings, sources say. Despite claims by President Trump, reports suggest that the impact was limited to aboveground structures, with Iran's centrifuges largely intact.
