US military raids on Three of Iran’s nuclear facilities Last weekend they did not destroy the key cores of his nuclear program and, most likely, were simply delayed a few months, according to a preliminary report on the Pentagon Intelligence Agency, as reported by CNN.

This particular report, which constitutes a first estimate, which had not been mentioned so far, was written by the Pentagon Defense Information Directorate (DIA), its spy side. It is based on the Battle Damage Assessment carried out by the US Central Command after the US raids, according to one of CNN sources.

Investigations into the size of nuclear facilities and whether the raids have limited Iran’s nuclear ambitions are still ongoing and can be revised with new data. However, the first conclusions are in stark contrast to President Donald Trump’s ongoing proclamations that the attacks “completely destroyed” uranium enrichment facilities, while Defense Minister Pitt Hegsheth argued on Sunday that his nuclear aspirations “have been”.

Two of the persons who know the evaluation of the magnitude of the damage said that Iran’s enriched uranium stock was not destroyed. One of them said that the centrifuges remain almost “intact”.

“So DIA’s estimation is that we may have been delayed for a few months, at most“, He added.

Doubts about the validity of the US government’s claims

The White House acknowledged the existence of this finding, but ranks it in the “secret – top secrecy” reports that, according to his spokesman Carolin Levitt, leaked “by an anonymous, low -ranking employee who attempted to undermine President Trump”. In the same line, the Pentagon described the business as a “catalytic success” and praised the accuracy of the bombings.

The US Armed Forces said the operation was evolving according to the plans and was “catalytic success”.

Although it is still too early for a comprehensive picture of the impact of raids, no source has clarified how DIA’s assessment is compared to those of other US intelligence services. The US continues to collect information, even within Iran, to fully evaluate damage.

Israel had launched raids on Iranian facilities for days before the US company, claiming that it needed the US bombs of Bunker Buster of 30,000 pounds to complete the project. Although US B-2 bombers dropped more than twelve such bombs into two of the nuclear facilities-the Fordo enrichment plant and the Natanz complex-the bombs did not completely eliminate the centrifugal and high-rise.

On the contrary, damage to all three points – Fordo, Natanz, Isfahan – were mainly confined to structures, which suffered serious disasters, as sources said. This includes the energy infrastructure and certain existence facilities used to convert uranium to metal for weapons.

Hegsheth also told CNN: ‘Based on what we have seen – and I have seen it all – our bombardment campaign has eliminated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons. Our huge bombs hit exactly the right spot on every target and worked exemplary. Debris of them wrapped under a mountain of ruins in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not catastrophic is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission“

On Tuesday morning, Trump reiterated that the raids had a significant impact.

“I think it has been completely destroyed,” he said, adding: “The pilots hit their goals. The goals have been destroyed, and the pilots have to be credit. “

Asked about the ability to repair the nuclear program by Iran, he replied: “Where they hit it is under rocks. It has been demolished. “

While Trump and Hegschez are optimistic about success, the chairman of the Joint Business Staff, General Dan Caine, said on Sunday that, as the damage assessment is still underway, it is “too early” to comment on whether Iran still maintain some nuclear capabilities.

Earlier on Tuesday, confidential updates on the House and Senate on the company were canceled.

Information on the Senate was postponed to Thursday, according to two sources.

Two independent sources stressed to CNN that the briefing on all members of the House was also postponed, without specifying the reason or new date.

Democratic MP Pitt Ryan from New York wrote on X on Tuesday that “Trump has just canceled a confidential briefing of the House of raids in Iran without any explanation. The real reason? He claims to have destroyed ‘all nuclear facilities and capabilities’ but his team knows he cannot support these exaggerations“

As CNN has reported, there have been questions for a long time as to whether US bombs Massive Ordnance Penetrators could completely destroy the strong fortified Iranian installations, buried deep under the ground – especially in Fordo and Isfahan, the largest nuclear research complex.

It should be noted that Islamabad attacked Isfahan with Tomachok’s rocket launched, which was launched by a submarine instead of a Bunker Buster bomb, because there was an assessment that the bomb may not make a successful perforation of the deeper levels of Isfahan, which are even lower.

US authorities also believe that Iran maintains secret nuclear facilities that have not been hit and remain in operation, according to two sources familiar with the issue.
