US secret service coordinator Gabbard also spoke on platform X that a possible reconstruction of the systems in Fordo, Natans and ISFahan would take years. With her and the CIA it remained unclear which new knowledge has led to the new assessment.
US general staff chief Dan Caine had commented on Sunday. To the effect of the attacks, in which massive bunkerbreaking bombs were also used, he said that there were “serious damage and destruction” on the nuclear facilities.
The White House also rejected speculation on Wednesday that Iran could have shifted its highly enriched uranium to its nuclear facilities. “I can tell you that the United States had no indication that enriched uranium was postponed before the attacks,” said the spokeswoman for US President Donald Trump, Karoline Leavitt, on Wednesday in Fox News. Corresponding reports are “wrong”. What is currently on the site is “buried under kilometers of debris because these attacks were successful on Saturday evening,” she added.
