What did the leaked intelligence reveal about the effectiveness of the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities?
The latest intelligence coming out right now is that the United States operation on the Iranian nuclear facilities was largely a failure. A centrifuge at one of the facilities remains intact. It did uh damage some of these nuclear facilities, but the nuclear facilities um can be made operational in a few uh months potentially, and also it's being Being reported as well that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was largely moved before U.S. strikes, according to a new New York Times report. Also, the New York Times is confirming an exclusive by CNN that the nuclear sites were damaged, but they were not destroyed, rendering the mission by and large a failure in stark contradiction to what Donald. Donald Trump was repeatedly posting over and over again.
Donald Trump had posted that all of the nuclear sites were absolutely obliterated. He declared an absolute success. He said that the damage to the nuclear sites were monumental. But with everything that Donald Trump says, you always have to kind of take a step back because he is always lying. There was supposed to be a bipartisan briefing uh earlier today uh in the house and in the senate. It was going to be Democrats and Republicans from the House and Senate intelligence committees, uh people with top-level classified access. This classified meeting was abruptly canceled at Donald Trump's demand. Donald Trump refused to make people from his administration accessible and He claims that it was just to delay it for Thursday, but I think that, especially now as we're getting some of the information, it obviously seems that Donald Trump was trying to cover up the latest intelligence out there, which is that these operations that Trump was bragging about did not achieve the objective of the uh mission.
Let's go through what we know right now. So CNN dropped the exclusive early US. Intel assessment suggests that the strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites. The U.S. military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early U.S. intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon's intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by U.S. Central Command in the aftermath of the U.S. strikes, according to sources.
Now, I think one of the reasons that this leaked was this information was supposed to be provided in a classified setting. To Congress earlier in the day before the Trump regime uh canceled uh it. We now have a statement out um from Trump regime propagandist Caroline Levitt. She says the following: the alleged assessment is flat out wrong and was classified as top secret, but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous low-level loser in the intelligence community. Community. Pause right there. So isn't she essentially admitting it right there? You take away all of the stuff they say, look loser and all of that. But you know, if they're saying that this was a top-secret classified assessment, isn't she essentially admitting that that's what the assessment said?
She goes on to say: the leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump and discredit the brave. Fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed omit uh mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program.
How did President Trump’s public claims about total destruction contrast with the new damage assessment?
Everyone knows what happens when you drop 14 14, 30,000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets. Total obliteration. We do know what happens when the Trump regime speaks. They lie about absolutely everything, and that appears to Be what is taking place as well. Um, New York Times reporting the strike set back Iran's nuclear program by only a few months. Uh, the U.S. report says now that the New York Times has its hands on those uh reports as well. Um, also seems like the ceasefire that Donald Trump claimed existed, which we were telling you seemed to be BS as well.
