According to the early pentagon intelligence, US strikes for three main goals of Iran in Iran did not destroy the main components of the country’s nuclear program.
A bold mission to bomb the sites likely to set the program again months, four people informed about the message CNN;
The intelligence is detrimental to a short repeat requirement that the nuclear sites were “completely and completely destroyed”.
The evaluation was carried out by the Defense Department of Defense and is based on the evaluation of battle damage after the strikes, said CNN.

Considering that Iran’s enriched Uranus reserves were not destroyed, two familiar people said, and one of the sources said the centrifuges were essentially intact.
New York Times The quoted officers familiar with the assessment also reported that the preliminary conclusions found that the explosions had been closed from the entrances to two facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings.
The estimation also states that most of the enriched Uranus stocks have been transferred in advance and the strikes destroyed a small nuclear material.
It comes when Trump’s best officers have a Strikes success late Saturday before the Iranian nuclear program, but some of them were publicly avoiding when it comes to detailed information about harm or enriched Uranus afterwards.
The White House directly rejected early intelligence assessment on Tuesday, recognizing its existence to CNN.
“This alleged evaluation is incorrect and was classified as ‘the best secret,’ but still leaked it to CNN anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community,” said Karoline Leavitt, Secretary of the White House press.
“The leak of this alleged rating is a clear attempt to reduce the president Trump and discredit bold fighter pilots who have performed a flawless mission to eliminate the Iranian nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you are perfectly at fourteen 30,000 pounds for bombs: full bruising,” she continued.
Trump’s claims that the Iran Nuclear Program was “abolished” was repeated by Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegset.
However, the joint chairman General Dan Caine said that in the morning after the strikes, the assessment would take some time, and it was too early to weigh before the success of the Saturday’s courage mission.

New evaluation revelations come as a Senate and home briefing on Iran at the last minute was abolished Tuesday. The Democrats blew up the administration for not more to come to Congress.
“The last -minute delay was just their duty to report to Congress,” said minority leader Chuck Schumer. “So what are the administration so afraid that they do not want to shorten us? They are constantly postponing.”
The Senate briefing was redesigned on Thursday. Schumer said the excuse to postpone was that Hegset and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who are at a short NATO Summit, could be there, but none of them were initially planned to attend.
“Hegseth and even Rubio will provide us with many happy conversations, but not the sinus, the details we need,” said Schumer.
He said those who had to briefly inform the Senate on Tuesday would have gave them the information they needed.
“Is there really a case where the Iranian nuclear program has been completely and completely destroyed?” asked home minority leader Hakeem Jeffries.
“Obviously, there are reasons to believe that this was an obvious misuse of Donald Trump made American people,” he continued.
Jeffries blew the home briefing delayed. He also noted that there was not even a briefing with a so -called gang of eight gangs, including eight Congress leaders, informed about intelligence.
Asked if he was convinced that Iran’s nuclear measures were abolished, John Thune, the leader of the Senate most, said the question was that they knew that the nuclear program was a “significant failure”.
