Strikes set back Iran nuclear program ‘up to two years’
Pentagon, 10 days ago, the US strikes reduced Iran’s nuclear program up to two years, and the US military operation leaked to the public despite a much more cautious first assessment, he said.
A Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell presented this figure to journalists with a briefing and added that the official estimate was “probably closer to two years”. It did not provide evidence to support the Parnell assessment.
Parnell told a news briefing on Wednesday, “We reduced his programs for one to two years, at least evaluated the Intel evaluations in the department (defense).”
US military bombardment planes, on June 22, more than a dozen 13,000 kg shelter bombs and more than two dozens of Tomahawk Land attack on the three Iranian nuclear facilities using the nuclear facilities.
After saying that Iran’s program was destroyed immediately after the realization of President Donald Trump, the language was echoed on Wednesday’s briefing, and the intelligence about the influence of the strikes is closely monitored.
Such results usually receive for weeks or more to determine the US intelligence community.
“All the intelligence we see (we have received) has led us to believe that Iran – especially these facilities are completely destroyed.” He said.
Rafael Grossi, President of the UN Nuclear Guard at the weekend, said Iran could produce enriched uranium in a few months and that the US could create doubts about how effective the US is to destroy the nuclear program.
Several experts warned that Iran probably a stock that is close to the weapon class, that it was removed from the deep -embedded Fordow site before strikes and can be hidden.
However, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed that Iran was carrying its highly enriched uranium from US strikes last week.
A preliminary assessment of the Defense Intelligence Agency last week suggested that strikes could bring Iran’s nuclear program back for months.
However, Trump management officials said that the assessment was low confidence and that Iran’s nuclear program was seriously damaged by intelligence.
According to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, strikes in the Fordow nuclear region caused serious damage.
“Nobody knows exactly what’s going on in Fordow. However, what we’ve known so far is that the facilities are seriously and intensively damaged,” Araqchi said in an interview on Tuesday. He said.
