edition.cnn.com Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say | CNN Politics

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

IAEA Director General's Introductory Statement to the Board of Governors
…we must return to the negotiating table and for that allow IAEA inspectors… to go back to Iran’s nuclear sites and account for the stockpiles of uranium, including, most importantly, the 400kg enriched to 60%.
The Board should be aware of a letter sent to me by Foreign Minister Dr Abbas Araghchi on 13 June in which he mentions that Iran will “adopt special measures to protect our nuclear equipment and materials”.
So we went from Iran almost 100% cooperating with the JCPOA, to Trump throwing out the deal, permitting an Israeli first strike, to enriched material loose inside of a nation we just attacked…
I don’t ever, fucking ever, want to hear a Republican talking about any degree of Democrat foreign policy failures. Jfc, how does he bungle the crisis - the crisis he created - so completely?
- Bombing Iran is bipartisan, dems aren't pushing back in the slightest, it would have happened regardless.

God fucking damnit fuck this fucking timeline I'm so sick of fucking war and reading about this stressful shit and having to decipher political bullshit and who has and doesn't have bombs and who is telling the truth and who is being manipulative
Can we all just not?? Fuck

“Exclusive” then why is every major news outlet reporting it? Shut up CNN, a fox in donkey clothing.
- So far all the other outlets i have seen reported that CNN reported on it. So the interesting bit apparently only is with CNN.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. 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. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”
Everything else aside. I can't get over the fact that the White House is now communicating like a teenager getting high with his friends.
- I really thought you were writing a parody of what she could tell, but it’s real. This women is a disgrace.
- Did she make an L with her hand on her forehead?
  
  SomeBODY
- Yeah, it's shocking that it's real. Reads like a message from a dictatorship.
  
  It would be shocking if we didn't know full well that it's a dictatorship.
- So it’s inaccurate, but also top secret inaccurate. Why didn’t they fix the inaccuracy in the top secret report?
- Gotta love me some anonymous low-level losers.
  
  I want to be some anonymous low level loser when I grow up
- It's even worse when you see and hear them speak.
  The quickened and higher-pitched "pseudo-indignant" voice and the constant "liars grin" is just the worst.
- Wow, I thought you were kidding, writing some parody response... But no... No that's exactly what she wrote...
- She was probably in color guard or volleyball. That would not surprise me whatsoever. I don't hate many people. It's legitimately difficult for me to hate someone. She's REALLY FUCKING CLOSE.
  
  She was probably in color guard or volleyball.
  This is the best burn I've seen a while. Thanks for the lols!
  Edit: According to her wiki page, she played softball. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karoline_Leavitt
- Angry teenager
- So they spent several hundred million to conduct a training exercise in how to fail? Trump can do that by just trying to have an erection.
  Hell, Jd Vance excretes failure

classified as ‘top secret’
leaked ... by an anonymous, low-level loser
C'mon media. Ask the obvious follow up question. C'mon!
- Why make it top secret in the first place? Iran probably knows best the condition of their stuff, who else do you want to hide it from?
  
  What's the obvious question?
  Was it Hegseth?

- What a time where this and “we’re gonna get those terrorists. Now watch this drive!” were considered scandalous.

The US military has said the operation went as planned and that it was an “overwhelming success.”
Just to be clear, that can be true and the mission failed to do more than set Iran back a few months. They can have destroyed the targets they were told to destroy (success), but the targets may have been wrong or incomplete. Or, as the article suggests, the bombs landed where they were supposed to, but didn't penetrate underground enough to do the damage desired.
- the mission failed to do more than set Iran back a few months
  Iran. Doesn't. Have. A. Nuclear. Weapons. Program.
  They have repeatedly presented evidence to this effect to multiple watchdog groups. They have had over 30 years to build a bomb and have declined to do so. The idea that this "set Iran back" is predicated on the theory that they were ever engaged in a project to build a weapon like this.
  The dirty truth of the matter is that Israel does not want Iran to access clean, cheap, highly efficient nuclear power for purely economic reasons. They don't want an Iranian industrial revolution that might put the country on par with Germany or Japan or Brazil or China. Keeping the Iranians trapped in the 1930s, technologically, is a part of a broader effort to strangle the Middle East (and Africa and the South Pacific states) and keep them yoked to the post-industrial Western economy as a source of cheap materials and cheap labor.
  
  What? Iran already has a nuclear power plant with a 2nd one beginning construction in 2019 and a 3rd one planned. And the International Atomic Energy Agency had reported that Iran was not complying with their inspectors on numerous occasions: https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/06/1164291
  So wtf are you talking about?
  I'm not saying they have/had nukes, but your story is just completely made up.
- I think trump would immediately throw a company under the bus for their "weak loser bombs" if they didn't perform as designed.
  I think trump would immediately "you're fired" a general for spec-ing the wrong bombs.
  I think the intel was wrong
  
  No he wouldn't. Pretending it was successful is 100% within his M.O.
  
  I think the intel was wrong
  The intel said that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons. The strikes happened because Trump decided to ignore the intel in favor of the random imaginings in his head, and no doubt Netanyahu encouraged him.

Man where is OutKast and their ability to see thru the Bullshit? Does this really just mean the US and Israeli media are manufacturing consent to continue attacking Iran?
Because make no mistake, at this point anything the Fascist regime says, well I just assume the opposite is actually true! Shit is so corrupted.
- OutKast
  The Atlanta rap duo? What?
- Always have!

Ah, so that's why the response from Iran was so meager: quid pro quo.

Reports out of Tehran, military commanders could not stop laughing for long enough to mount a serious retaliation.

yeah no fucking shit
