🔹 A CNN report citing early U.S. intelligence assessments claims that the recent American and Israeli strikes on Iran did not destroy its nuclear facilities.
🔹 According to the report:
• Core components of Iran’s nuclear program remain intact.
• The operation likely only caused a temporary setback of several months, not full dismantlement.
🔹 The White House swiftly rejected the report, stating:
• “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong.”
• The details referenced by CNN were classified as ‘top secret’, and should not have been disclosed publicly.
🔹 The exchange highlights a potential divide between public narrative and classified intelligence, with implications for regional strategy and post-war diplomacy.
🔹 If confirmed, the report could undermine claims of mission success and reshape future negotiations around Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
