White House Rejects Intel Findings on Iran Nuclear Sites, Calls Leaker “Low-Level Loser”
While the Trump administration touted the U.S. airstrikes on Iran as a major blow to its nuclear program, new intelligence suggests the impact was far less significant. Operation Midnight Hammer, involving B-2 bombers and “bunker buster” bombs, targeted Iranian facilities in an effort to halt nuclear weapons development. However, according to sources briefed on the operation, the strikes likely only delayed Iran’s progress by a matter of months, with key components like enriched uranium stockpiles and centrifuges largely intact. The White House has disputed this assessment, calling the report inaccurate and criticizing the anonymous sources.
