New intelligence assessments from both Israel and Iran support President Donald Trump’s earlier statements that U.S. airstrikes successfully destroyed key components of Iran’s nuclear program, directly contradicting reports circulated by CNN and other media outlets.
On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a report from the Israel Atomic Energy Commission on X, stating that the U.S. airstrike on Iran’s Fordo enrichment facility “destroyed the site’s critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable.”
“We assess that the American strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran’s military nuclear program, has set back Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years,” the Israeli report added.
