US and Israel Strikes Slightly Delay Iran’s Nuclear Program Amid Radiation Concerns
TL;DR Summary
U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, have assessed that recent strikes on Iran's nuclear sites have severely damaged its nuclear program, though the extent of destruction and Iran's ability to rebuild remain uncertain. President Trump claimed the sites were 'obliterated,' but intelligence reports suggest the damage is substantial yet not total, with delays in Iran's nuclear capabilities expected to be only months to years. The assessments have sparked political controversy and debate over the true impact of the strikes.
