Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say

Most early intelligence assessments indicate that recent US military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities caused limited damage, failing to destroy core components of the nuclear program. According to sources familiar with the Defense Intelligence Agency’s evaluation, while aboveground structures were significantly hit, key elements like centrifuges and enriched uranium stocks largely remain intact. Officials continue to analyze the impact, balancing differing views within the intelligence community as they gather further information on Iran’s capabilities and potential to rebuild its program.
