Following reporting that the U.S. strikes on Iran’s three major nuclear sites only set Iran’s nuclear program back months, Trump administration officials are blaming a “leaker” for circulating such reports.
“The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed,” President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social late Tuesday night while bashing CNN and The New York Times for reporting that the attack did not dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.
“Fake news CNN, together with the failing New York Times, have teamed up in an attempt to demean one of the most successful military strikes in history,” Trump wrote.
CNN reported that Saturday’s strikes on Iran’s Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites did not eliminate “core components” of Iran’s nuclear program and likely only delayed the program by several months. The Times similarly reported that the strikes delayed Iran’s nuclear program, but did not destroy Iran’s underground nuclear facilities.
CNN and the Times cited a report from the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm, as their source on the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of the strikes.
