Intercepted Iranian communications downplay damage from US attack, Washington Post reports

Washington Post, Washington (Reuters) -Mezar Iranian communication referred to four familiar people who are familiar with classified intelligence circulating within the US government, and despised the degree of damage caused by the US strikes on the US nuclear program.

A resource refused to be named confirmed this account to Reuters, but he said that there were serious questions about whether the Iranian authorities were correct, and described the interventions as unreliable indicators.

However, Post’s report is to ask questions about the scope of the damage to Iran’s nuclear program. A leaked preliminary assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency said that strikes may have brought Iran back for months.

President Donald Trump said that strikes “completely and completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear program, but US officials acknowledge that it would take time to create a complete assessment of damage caused by US military strikes last weekend.

The White House dismissed the report.

The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “It is nonsense that anonymous Iranian authorities know what is under hundreds of meters of rubble.”

In an interview on Fox News on Sunday, Trump reiterated the confidence of strikes that Iran has destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities. “He was destroyed as no one had ever seen before. And that meant the end of their nuclear ambitions for at least a while.” He said.
