Recent missile strikes by the United States on Iran’s nuclear sites have resulted in only a minor delay to Iran’s nuclear program, according to an early Pentagon intelligence assessment. Despite initial claims by President Donald Trump that the sites were “obliterated,” classified reports indicate that the main components of Iran’s nuclear facilities remain largely intact.
Satellite images confirm damage at key sites including Isfahan, Fordow, and Natanz. While the attacks sealed entrances to two underground locations, the actual buildings did not collapse, which limited the overall effectiveness of the strikes.
The US administration is currently facing criticism due to conflicting narratives surrounding the strikes. The Defense Intelligence Agency describes the setback as a measured delay rather than total destruction, a viewpoint publicly challenged by President Trump, who has dismissed these assessments as attempts to undermine his administration.
Meanwhile, there is a fragile ceasefire in place between Iran and Israel following a 12-day conflict brokered by the US. Both countries have paused hostilities, raising hopes for more stable peace talks. However, experts caution that Iran’s nuclear ambitions could resume within months because of the limited damage inflicted.
This situation highlights ongoing tensions in the Middle East and has the potential to affect global diplomatic relations and security policies significantly.
