CIA director says Iran’s nuclear sites ‘severely damaged’

The CIA president said that the US’s nuclear facilities “seriously damaged” and put them back for years, leaving the President Donald Trump with a leaked intelligence report that raised Raid’s influence.

John Ratcliffe, director of the US spy agency, said that key sites were destroyed, but Iran has stopped declaring that the nuclear program was clearly eliminated.

One day after a leaked preliminary assessment of a Pentagon intelligence agency, he suggested that Iran’s nuclear program be intact after US bombings.

President Trump again defended that the pressure “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The Republican President went to social media on Wednesday to report that the “Fake News” media “none of them lie and represents the facts they have completely wrong.”

Authorized, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other military officials, on Thursday, will have an “interesting and rejected” news conference for “fighting for the dignity of our great American pilots” on Thursday.

He came to Israel and Iran for honoring a fragile ceasefire that Trump helped negotiate this week on the 12th day of the war during a second day.

Speaking in The Hague, where he attended a NATO summit on Wednesday, Trump said: “It was very violent. Obliteration was.”

He also said he would probably ask Iran that he would ask for a commitment to end his nuclear ambitions in negotiations next week. Iran did not accept such negotiations.

However, US Middle East ambassador Steve Witkoff said that NBC is direct and indirect communication between countries.

Ratcliffe’s statement appointed by Trump, CIA’s information, “several important Iranian nuclear facilities have been destroyed and the re -built for years to be rebuilt historically reliable and accurate resource/method contains new intelligence,” he said.

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard supported Trump’s assessment of the damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all of the three facilities (Natanz, Fordo, Esfahan), which will be completely to be built.”

The US operation included 125 military aircraft aimed at the three main Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday.

The new satellite images show six clustered craters around the two entrance points in Fordo, and similar craters are seen in Isfahan. However, it is not clear that the nuclear facilities found deep underground are not deleted.

A report from the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency was leaked to the US media on Tuesday, and the US bombardment estimated that Iran’s nuclear program has “back a few months”.

US Defense Secretary, the evaluation was made with “low trust”, he said.

Authorities familiar with the assessment, more information that can change as an early assessment, he said. The US sometimes has 18 intelligence organizations that produce contradictory reports according to their missions and expertise.

The UN Nuclear Guard Chief Rafael Grosi said on Wednesday that Tehran has been attacked, as well as the chance to move most of the highly enriched uranium elsewhere.

However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told Al Jazeera on Wednesday: “Our nuclear facilities were very damaged, this is certain.” Did not detail.

A report by the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission said that the strike in Fordo “destroyed the critical infrastructure of the site”.

In the report, the damage to all sites pushed Iran’s timeline of nuclear weapons back for years.

Nevertheless, Mehdi Mohammadi, President of the Iranian Parliament, said the US Fordo is “there is no irreversible damage”.

Iran has long claimed that the nuclear program has been peaceful. US intelligence organizations said that Tehran has not actively made atomic weapons.
