The Trump administration strongly defended its recent airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities on Wednesday, with multiple top officials challenging early intelligence reports that suggested limited impact from the attacks.
According to Politico, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released statements confirming that new intelligence shows Iran’s nuclear facilities were “destroyed” in the weekend strikes. Their statements came as a response to media reports about an early Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment that claimed the strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by months, contradicting that echo how Donald Trump’s top General ruins his perfect Iran story, putting military credibility above politics.
