Early intel assessment says Iran's nuclear program was only set back 'a few months' [View all]
(NPR) A U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed early intelligence assessments by the Defense Intelligence Agency saying that the massive U.S. air campaign against three Iran nuclear sites on Saturday night did not "obliterate" Iran's nuclear enrichment program as President Trump claimed but instead set it back "a few months."
CNN first published news of the DIA assessment.
The official told NPR that military officials provided an early assessment of the intel to select senators — including Virginia's Mark Warner, the leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
"I have a whole lot of questions for this administration," Warner told All Things Considered. "What are the next steps? How do we make sure that there's not Iran racing now to a dirty bomb? These are questions that we and frankly, the American people, deserve answers to."
