Trump Dismisses US Intelligence Report on Iran's Nuclear Program

US President Donald Trump denied US media reports that the US strikes on Iran only delayed Iran's nuclear program by a few months. Trump claimed on Truth Social that the nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also declared victory against Iran despite the US intelligence report. A ceasefire was agreed upon by Iran and Israel after 12 days of strikes, with Trump joining the conflict by bombing key Iranian nuclear sites.

White House Press Secretary confirmed the US intel but called it wrong. Netanyahu stated that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon and that they have thwarted Iran's nuclear project. Israel claimed that their strikes had set back Iran's nuclear program by years. Iran expressed willingness to return to negotiations over its nuclear program while asserting its rights to peaceful atomic energy use.

US media reported that the strikes did not fully eliminate Iran's centrifuges or enriched uranium stockpile. Leavitt criticized the leak as an attempt to discredit Trump and the fighter pilots. The conflict between Iran and Israel, the most destructive between them, ended with a ceasefire following US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and an Iranian reprisal on a US military facility.

Some Israelis welcomed the truce, expressing exhaustion and a desire for peace. The conflict resulted in civilian casualties on both sides. The international community cautiously welcomed the ceasefire, with concerns about Iran's potential secret uranium enrichment. Israel's focus shifted back to Gaza after the ceasefire, with calls for a truce in Gaza as well.
