U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that U.S. air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites have pushed Tehran "much further away" from a bomb, countering a leaked Defense Intelligence Agency estimate that the setback might last only months.
What Happened: Speaking alongside President Donald Trump at a NATO summit, Rubio argued the decisive blow was the destruction of a "conversion facility," the plant that turns gaseous uranium into the solid forms needed to forge a weapon's core. "Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape," he told reporters. "They are way behind today compared to where they were just seven days ago because of what President Trump did."
