US secret service contradicts Trump

Donald Trump contradicts a US secret service: According to an assessment from the Pentagon, the air strikes on Iranian nuclear systems have little effect on the Tehrans nuclear program.
According to a confidential report, the US attacks in Iran are said to have only thrown back the Tehran’s nuclear program by a few months. A first secret service assessment assumes that the weekend bombing of the weekend could not destroy the Iranian underground nuclear facilities, as the newspaper “New York Times” and the broadcaster CNN reported. The report with corresponding information was created by Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the most important secret service of the Ministry of Defense and one of a total of 18 US intelligence services.
US President Donald Trump rejected the reports. “The nuclear systems in Iran are completely destroyed!” He said on his online platform Truth Social. Even after the US attacks, he had spoken of the fact that the nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Natans and Fordo had been destroyed. We were talking about a death blow to the Iranian nuclear program. The Iranian government said on Tuesday that it took the “necessary measures” to ensure the continuation of the nuclear program.
Israel had started a war against his arch enemy Iran a good ten days ago. With massive air strikes against goals across the country, Iran’s nuclear program and the development of ballistic rockets wanted to stop. The USA switched on: B-2 fighter planes attacked two Iranian nuclear facilities with bunker-breaking bombs of type GBU-57 at the weekend. A submarine attacked a third system with Tomahawk marching aircraft. As of today, a ceasefire has been in the conflict.
The Press spokeswoman of the White House, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed the authenticity of the secret service report, but said that he was “completely wrong and classified as ‘strictly secret’, but still leaked”. The transfer of this “alleged assessment” is a “clear attempt” to discredit President Trump and the “brave fighting pilots”. Leavitt described the mission as “perfectly executed” and explained in online service X: “Everyone knows what happens if you take 14 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their goals: total annihilation.”
According to the secret service report, only the entrances are said to have been destroyed on the area built deep into the mountain in Fordo, but the underground buildings themselves are not. The five -sided report also assumes that Iran had already moved its existence of enriched uranium to other places before the attacks, as the “New York Times” continued.
According to CNN, the attack is said to have thrown the Iranian nuclear program “at most by a few months”. The newspaper spoke of less than six months.
Both media emphasized that it was a first report and further investigations could lead to other conclusions. US general staff Dan Caine had already commented on Sunday more cautiously than the political leadership. In front of journalists, he told journalists to the effect of the attacks, in which massive bunkerbreaking bombs were also used that there were “serious damage and destruction” on the nuclear facilities.
In addition to the report of the DIA, there was another contradiction on Tuesday: According to President Donald Trump, the US attacks on Iran were based on a program for the development of nuclear weapons. This emerges from a letter published on the Weiße House website on Tuesday (local time) to the spokesman for the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson. So far, the US intelligence agencies have stated that such a program does not exist. Trumps write about new questions about the information he was based on when he ordered the attack on Sunday.
“The United States armed forces carried out a precision against three nuclear systems in Iran, which the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran used for their nuclear weapons development program,” wrote Trump to Johnson.
According to previously published US intelligence reports, which were compiled before the attacks on the nuclear systems, Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program in 2003. This conclusion is also shared by the UN atomic supervision. Accordingly, Iran does not have all the necessary technologies, but the know-how, in order to be able to build an explosive head at some point. Iran has always emphasized that its nuclear program only serves civil purposes, not the development of nuclear weapons.
