The US military’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities may not have been as devastating as initially claimed, according to a preliminary US intelligence assessment.

What Happened: The strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear sites last weekend did not completely destroy the core components of Iran’s nuclear program, as per an early US intelligence assessment, reported by CNN on Tuesday. The assessment, produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, suggests that the strikes likely only set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few months.
