CIA Reports Iran's Nuclear Program Severely Damaged by US Strikes

Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe stated that credible intelligence indicates Iran's nuclear programme was severely damaged by recent US strikes, requiring years to rebuild. Ratcliffe mentioned new intelligence from a reliable source showing key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed. Conflicting assessments exist within the US intelligence community regarding the extent of damage inflicted on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe claimed that multiple key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed, contradicting the Defense Intelligence Agency's analysis suggesting only a delay in Iran's nuclear progress. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated that Iran's facilities were destroyed, requiring years to rebuild. President Trump compared the impact of the strikes to the end of World War Two, emphasizing severe damage despite inconclusive intelligence reports.
