Did US Strikes Really Cripple Iran’s Nuclear Program?

A growing rift has emerged over the true impact of US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

While CIA Director John Ratcliffe insists the strikes “destroyed” several key nuclear sites and could delay Iran’s program by years, a leaked preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report estimates only a short-term setback of a few months.

Meanwhile, international experts, including the UN’s atomic watchdog, suggest Iran may have preserved enriched uranium and advanced centrifuges, raising further questions about the effectiveness of the US operation.
