Early intelligence assessments contradict President Trump's claim that the U.S. air strikes on Iranian nuclear sites obliterated the program.

This assessment, confirmed by CNN and disputed by the White House, has raised concerns among senators about the next steps and the potential for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Despite the U.S. claim of success, Iran's parliament speaker and atomic energy agency head indicated that the country will continue its uranium enrichment program.
