Trump reiterates Iran nuclear talking points despite swirling questions
Briefly

President Trump reaffirmed his commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons after recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the Israel-Iran conflict. He claimed the strikes destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. However, reports from US intelligence and the IAEA contradicted this, suggesting Iran was not actively building weapons and that the strikes likely did not significantly damage the nuclear sites. Concerns remain about Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, with the IAEA warning they could restart enrichment efforts soon, challenging Trump's narrative of success regarding the military intervention.
President Trump asserted that the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities effectively set back their nuclear ambitions by decades, despite reports suggesting otherwise.
Despite President Trump's claims of effectiveness, both U.S. intelligence and the IAEA indicate that Iran's nuclear capabilities remain largely intact after the U.S. strikes.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi underscored that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, casting doubt on Trump's assertions about the strikes' success.
Multiple news organizations reported that U.S. strikes did not destroy key Iranian nuclear sites, contradicting the president's claims and raising concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
