Press TV – June 24, 2025
A preliminary US intelligence assessment suggests that the American airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities failed to dismantle the core elements of its nuclear program, contradicting the claims made by President Donald Trump and his aides.
The findings, compiled by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Pentagon’s primary intelligence unit, were shared with CNN by four sources familiar with the matter.
The assessment report is based on a battle evaluation conducted by US Central Command (CENTCOM) in the aftermath of Sunday morning aggression, according to one of the sources quoted by the American broadcaster.
The findings contradict Trump’s repeated assertions that the attacks “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities, the report states.
US Defense Secretary also echoed the claims of Trump on Sunday, saying that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”
Citing two sources familiar with the DIA assessment, CNN reported that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile remains intact, with one of them noting that the centrifuges targeted in the attacks suffered little damage.

“So the [DIA] assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” the source said.
The White House has acknowledged the intelligence assessment but rejected its conclusions in order to avoid further embarrassment for Trump, who made hue and cry about the attacks that experts say are in complete breach of international law.
“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 mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement in response to the assessment.
In the days leading up to the US aggression, Israel had already been carrying out its own acts of aggression against Iran, which saw stiff resistance from Iranian armed forces.
They also firmly responded to American attacks on nuclear sites with devastating missile strikes on the US-run Al-Udeid military base in Qatar on Monday, which prompted the US president to call it quits, leaving the regime with no option but to seek a ceasefire.

US B-2 bombers, according to CNN, deployed more than a dozen of these bombs on two major targets – the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and the Natanz Enrichment Complex – yet the attacks failed to fully destroy the sites’ centrifuges and enriched uranium.
Damage across all three targeted facilities, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, was primarily limited to aboveground structures, including power systems and facilities used in converting uranium to weapons-grade metal, the CNN cited sources as saying.
Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear weapons expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, told CNN that commercial satellite imagery of the nuclear sites supports the assessment that Iran’s program remains largely intact.
“The ceasefire came without either Israel or the United States being able to destroy several key underground nuclear facilities, including near Natanz, Isfahan, and Parchin,” Lewis said.
“These facilities could serve as the basis for the rapid reconstitution of Iran’s nuclear program,” he added.

The scheduled classified briefings for both chambers of Congress on the operation were abruptly canceled on Tuesday, and the Senate’s all-member briefing has been rescheduled for Thursday, CNN reported.
Iranian officials have also dismissed the speculation about the “obliteration” of Iran’s indigenous nuclear enrichment program due to American aggression and vowed to continue.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), in remarks on Tuesday, reiterated that the country’s nuclear program will continue to expand despite acts of aggression against the peaceful nuclear facilities.
He said the country’s nuclear industry is deeply entrenched in the scientific and technological infrastructure and cannot be dismantled by enemies.
“They must understand that this industry is rooted in our nation. They cannot uproot it,” Kamalvandi said. “Given the capabilities and potential we possess, the growth of this industry must continue. It will not be stopped.”
It seems their first mistake was to claim B-2s crossed into Iranian airspace and back unharmed when it’s starting to look like they didn’t. If that wasn’t real then nothing hard-core is believeable. They did just the same as Hezbullah does but with better rockets. Don’t the US and Israel call that terrorism?
“US intelligence” … That’s rather rich seeing that the cuntry gets dumber by the minute.
I was listening to Alistair Crooke earlier and he admitted that he’s no expert, but the experts he’s talked to, don’t believe Nazi Amerika dropped their big bunker buster bombs on Iranian nuke sites, and he can’t even be certain that any B2s entered Iran.
So we have Donald Hitler saying XYZ, & then fake news saying ABC, based on leaked intel reports, and then DH has a hissy fit.
AC does say it’s likely that Russia advised Iran not to do anything, just let it ride. Looking at the Nazi images, they do not look consistent with the GBU-57A, because you’d have one hole, not 3, and you’d be putting the second GBU into the first hole, and this isn’t consistent with the images, assuming they are even real.
When the Nazi deep state, and their puppet fake news, debase what Donald Hitler says, even if he’s telling his usual lies, lead me to think DH doesn’t have much time left.
Compounding his, is the fact that DH didn’t attand any Nazi NATO meetings, he only went to dinners, and he also failed to support Article 5, which will seriously anger NATO, and it destabilises the balance of power.
Think about the on, off tariffs, that’s insider dealing. No one is taking about the fact that some Nazis made a fortune, and now DH is causing the same instability with security.
Let’s say the UK Nazis believe that DH won’t support Article 5, then why not attack Russia using a low level attack aided by Stormshroud?
The truth, Nazi UK is very deeply involved in terrorist operations in Russia, UKraine, Iran, and elsewhere. I’d say MI6 is running hundreds of terror cells, and Nazi Amerika is happy with this, because they have no intention to aid Europe or the UK.
You see, the UK elites have their very deep nuke bunkers, and special tunnels to escape London, should they need to. It’s just like a fighter pilot who ejects.
In other news, Wile E. Coyote fails to kill the Road Runner with his ACME rocket.
LMAO at this whole charade. An attack on Iran that likely never happened. to destroy a nuclear facility that was not there, in order to prevent Iran from possessing a weapons technology that does not exist and never has.
“LMAO at this whole charade.” (I whole heartedly agree)
“Wile E. Coyote fails to kill the Road Runner with his ACME rocket.” (Exactly!)
“An attack on Iran that likely never happened.” (no bunker buster earthquakes, no lost USAF jets)
“to destroy a nuclear facility that was” – that was already shut down and nuclear material removed.
“in order to prevent Iran from possessing a weapons technology that does not exist and never has.”
That resulted in Iran kicking out International Atomic Energy Commission inspectors:
“Iran’s parliament has passed a bill to suspend all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), effectively limiting the agency’s ability to inspect Iranian nuclear facilities. This decision follows recent military strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites and reflects Tehran’s stance on maintaining its nuclear program amid tensions with the U.S. and Israel.”
Iran’s enriched uranium had been removed from the targeted sites (according to Iran) and taken to new undeclared sites that were created outside of IAEA knowledge.
So, in other words, Trump’s raid was a big fat failure that resulted in the exact opposite ending of Trump’s goals. Iran will now do what it wants outside of Ziopig inspectors and their endless rules. The biggest mistake Iran made was to play along by the rules,
North Korea developed it’s nukes completely outside of IAEA and the NNPT, and Trump dares not attack NK. Iran would be foolish not to have a crash program of making an arsenal of nukes and pointing them at Israel and the UK, especially the City of London.
If I was Iran, I would have my submarines off the coast of Florida, say by Cuba, and I would tell Trumpenstein, if you ever attack us again we will target Mar a Lago and wipe out Trump’s palace of gold.

Ultimately, it is the Rothschild banksters in the UK telling their suckling satraps (Trump, Netanyahu, Ursula von der Lying, etc.) to go after Iran. Israel is the private fiefdom of WRATHCHILDS, Israel is trunk of the tree, not the root. Iran must get nukes and aim them at London where the real evil lies.
In fact, since hurricanes go across Florida on a regular basis, Iran could wait for the right hurricane to come along, and detonate hypersonic missiles destroying Mar a Lago just as a hurricane is to sweep across erasing all evidence.
I KNOW I WOULD DO THAT IF SOME ORANGE ASSHOLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE ATTACKED MY NATION!!!
