The Pentagon said on Wednesday that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have degraded Iran’s nuclear program by up to two years, marking a significant escalation in the assessment of the military operation’s impact.
What Happened: Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told reporters the official estimate was “probably closer to two years,” though he provided no evidence to support the assessment. “We have degraded their program by one to two years, at least intel assessments inside the Department (of Defense) assess that,” Parnell said.
