Following the U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, analysts express that the damage was greater and more precise than reported. Interviews and a Pentagon briefing indicate that previous assessments, notably a DIA report with low confidence, underestimated the impact. Miscommunications were exacerbated by exaggerated claims from Trump and Defense officials, driving public misconceptions. General Dan Caine presented a factual account of the attack's effects, emphasizing the advanced weaponry used, while Secretary Hegseth criticized media interpretations that questioned Trump's leadership in the situation.
The attack was remarkably precise and professional, exceeding initial impressions. A Pentagon news conference revealed the damage to Iran’s program is likely far more extensive than initially reported.
The leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report on the attack had findings of 'low confidence,' with analysts expressing doubts about the accuracy of their assessments.
Misunderstandings about the operation were fueled by baseless hype from Trump and Hegseth, skewing public perception of the attack's success.
General Dan Caine provided a detailed, sober assessment of the attack, contrasting sharply with Hegseth’s sensational rhetoric attacking the media.
