American strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear program, Pentagon’s assessment says

The American strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities do not destroy the country’s nuclear program and may have returned it only for months, according to the Pentagon intelligence assessment.

The Islamic Republic’s collapse of enriched uranium has not been eliminated in the attacks, sources said with an assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the BBC partner told the US partner.

The White House said the initial assessment of the damage was “equalized” and “a clear attempt to humiliate” President Donald Trump.

The president said Saturday air strikes “completely and completely deleted” Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities.

The United States hit three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordo, Nathan and Isfahan – with Bunker Buster bombs capable of penetrating 18 m (60 feet) concrete or 61 m (200 feet) of land before exploding.

But sources familiar with the Pentagon intelligence assessment say that Iran’s centrifuges are largely “intact” and the impact is limited to above ground structures.

The entrances to two nuclear facilities were sealed and some infrastructures were destroyed or damaged.

Anonymous sources told us to the media that it is estimated that the attack has only set up for a few months, peaks, and that any resumption of its nuclear program can be based on how long it takes for the country to excavate and repair.

Sources also confirmed to CBS that some of Iran’s enriched stock was moved before the strikes, according to intelligence assessment.

It is believed that the massive bomb with singing infantry products of 30,000 pounds (14,000 kg) is the only weapon capable of destroying the underground facilities for enriching Iran’s nuclear enrichment.
