A U.S. intelligence assessment contradicts President Trump's claim that recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities "obliterated" the program. The assessment, from the Defense Intelligence Agency, suggests the strikes caused significant damage but didn't completely destroy the program, potentially setting it back only a few months. The White House and Defense Department dispute the assessment, while Iranian officials claim the damage was minimal. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi acknowledges significant setbacks but stresses the need for inspections to fully assess the damage.
