The Trump administration has intensified its defense of recent military actions against Iran, asserting that new intelligence supports claims of significant success. Officials dismissed leaked assessments that suggested only minor delays in Iran's nuclear program, with CIA Director John Ratcliffe stating that key facilities were destroyed. At the same time, Trump criticized media narratives surrounding the intelligence, suggesting they are aimed at undermining his presidency. The administration aims to restrict classified document sharing with Congress amidst ongoing scrutiny and speculation regarding the effectiveness of its intelligence assessments.
We struck a devastating blow to Iran's nuclear ambitions, and they won't recover for years - that’s the clear message from our intelligence sources.
The leaked assessment is misleading and politically motivated; our intelligence confirms significant damage has been done to key nuclear facilities.
