A recent Pentagon intelligence report has revealed that US missile strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities have delayed Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months, rather than completely destroying it. This update contradicts earlier claims made by former President Donald Trump.
Key Findings of the Pentagon Report
- The strikes sealed off entrances to major nuclear sites including Fordow and Natanz.
- The core underground infrastructure remained intact and was not destroyed.
- Intelligence analysts estimate that Iran’s nuclear program could resume within a matter of months.
Reactions to the Report
- Donald Trump: Denied the report, calling it ‘fake news’ and claimed the nuclear threat was effectively eliminated.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Asserted that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been “brought to ruin.”
- Intelligence community conclusions indicate a more complex picture, suggesting the program only experienced a temporary delay.
Context and Ongoing Developments
The report’s release comes amidst a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which has not yet fully stabilized the region. Global leaders continue to monitor the situation closely as diplomatic and security discussions evolve around Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
