Following recent U.S. attacks on Iran's nuclear program, President Trump claimed that the facilities were completely destroyed, but new intelligence reports suggest that the strikes only delayed the program by a few months.

Despite the military intervention, Iran's nuclear facilities remain largely intact, with significant damage primarily limited to above-ground structures.

The intelligence report indicates that while access points to the Fordo facility were damaged, the underground structures, including critical components for uranium enrichment, remained unharmed.

Moreover, it was reported that Iran had relocated much of its enriched uranium stockpile to other locations prior to the attacks, further mitigating the impact of the strikes.

Intelligence sources noted that the damage did not affect the stockpile of enriched uranium, resulting in delays of less than six months for Iran's nuclear program.

In response to the intelligence assessments, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refuted claims of total destruction, asserting that the attacks typically result in complete annihilation.

The report also suggested that Iran may now be operating smaller, covert enrichment sites to protect its nuclear program from future attacks.

The conflict escalated when Israel initiated airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, leading to retaliatory missile strikes from Iran.

U.S. military officials, including Pentagon Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine, expressed a cautious view on the strikes' effectiveness, acknowledging significant damage but uncertainty about complete destruction.

Trump has claimed that Iran would 'NEVER REBUILD' its nuclear facilities, asserting that the strikes dealt a fatal blow to Iran's nuclear ambitions.

However, analysts have noted that the U.S. strike might have inadvertently increased the likelihood of Iran accelerating its nuclear weapons plans, although there is currently no evidence to support this.

Prior to the military escalation, the U.S. and Iran had been engaged in negotiations regarding a new nuclear deal, which were suspended amid rising tensions.
