Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia has criticized President Trump for allegedly exaggerating the success of U.S. strikes against Iran's nuclear program. After a briefing on the strikes, which hit three nuclear sites, senators concluded it was too early to assess the damage, with reports suggesting that the impact on Iran's nuclear capabilities could be limited to delays of only months. Defense Secretary Hegseth supported Trump’s claims of significant damage, while the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed serious damage but ruled out destruction of the entire program.
Kaine stated that Trump had "in all likelihood" exaggerated the impact of U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program, causing a media backlash and confusion.
Defense Secretary Hegseth supported Trump’s claim but assessments from briefed senators suggest the damage could be minimal and impact the program for only months.
