CIA Director Claims US Strikes Severely Damaged Iran's Nuclear Facilities

US strikes caused 'severe damage' to Iran's nuclear facilities, as reported by CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Key sites were destroyed and would need years to rebuild. The Defence Intelligence Agency's early assessment downplayed the destruction, suggesting Iran's nuclear program could restart in months. Trump initially praised the operation but later criticized media reports. Israeli officials claimed the strikes set back Iran's nuclear weapons development by many years.

Experts say it's too early to determine the full impact of the strikes. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported extensive damage at the sites. Diplomatic efforts are underway to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program. Trump mentioned a possible dialogue with Iran, emphasizing that Iran was too damaged to restart its program.
