US President Donald Trump has insisted that Iran’s nuclear programme has been set back "decades" by recent US military strikes, despite an intelligence report casting doubt on their success.
The leaked assessment from the Pentagon’s Defence Intelligence Agency estimates the attacks at the weekend set Iran’s nuclear programme back only "a few months".
Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not eliminated in Saturday’s bombings, sources familiar with the Defence Intelligence Agency evaluation told the BBC’s US partner CBS.
But speaking at the Nato summit at The Hague on Wednesday, Trump said the strikes caused a "total obliteration" of Iran’s nuclear sites.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth described the attack as a "flawless" mission, and said the intelligence report is “preliminary” and has a "political motive".
