The report from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which was first disclosed by CNN, concludes that Iran's nuclear capabilities have been set back only “a few months,” not eliminated.
According to the assessment, while the June 22 strikes caused substantial damage to sites at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, Iran’s nuclear infrastructure remains largely intact - contradicting public assertions by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a post on Truth social, Donald Trump said that the report was fake and aimed at demanding the military strike.
