U.S. intelligence assessments suggest that military actions initiated by Trump have done little to slow Iran’s nuclear capabilities, according to Reuters news agency, citing intelligence sources familiar with the matter.
A key objective of the war, which began on February 28, was to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon.
Two months into the conflict, intelligence sources indicate Tehran’s nuclear program remains broadly unchanged since last year’s U.S. attack.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed the intelligence report as ‘speculation’ but later told lawmakers Iran ‘had not given up their nuclear ambitions’.
The White House, through spokeswoman Olivia Wales, asserted that operations ‘obliterated Iran’s nuclear facilities’ and ‘decimated Iran’s defense industrial base’.
