President Donald Trump's strikes likely did not "obliterate" Iranian nuclear facilities as he claims they did, according to an initial assessment by U.S. intelligence. Rather, the damage was limited due to the sheer depth of the sites and the apparent fact that much of Iran's enriched uranium had been moved. Citing four unnamed people familiar with the early assessment, CNN was first to report that Saturday's bombings did not destroy the core components of Iran's nuclear program, likely setting it back by only a few months. Other outlets subsequently confirmed the report, similarly citing unnamed officials because the intelligence assessment is still classified. The strikes appear to have collapsed the entrances to the facilities, but Iran's nuclear facilities are housed deep underground in the sides of mountains, beneath layers of concrete. |
