BREAKING: Leaked US intelligence says Iran’s nuclear plans “likely only set back months” | BBC News

简介：

A leaked Pentagon intelligence report says the US strikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities have probably only set back its programme by months. President Trump claimed after the bombing that the US bombing had "completely obliterated" Iran’s nuclear programme. The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the report "flat out wrong" and said "the leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program." The initial classified assessment by the US Defence Intelligence Agency said two of the sites were not destroyed and concluded that key elements of the programme to enrich uranium may soon restart. It also concluded that much of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which could possibly be used to make a nuclear weapon, was moved before the strikes took place. The development came as a ceasefire between Israel and Iran appeared to be holding, after President Trump lashed out at Israel for its failure to abide by the terms of the truce.
