The British newspaper Telegraph said that intelligence assessments reported that Iran’s highly enriched uranium stocks were not affected by American strikes, at a time when controversy in the United States continues on the extent of damage to the Iranian nuclear program.
The newspaper quoted European officials as saying that European governments had received preliminary intelligence assessments that Iran’s highly enriched uranium stocks are still sound despite the US air strikes of their nuclear reactors.
According to intelligence assessments, Iran’s 408 kilograms of enriched uranium was not only in the “Fordo” facility, but was distributed in various other locations.
“Telegraph” said that Washington did not provide decisive intelligence information to its European allies regarding the remaining Iranian nuclear capabilities after the strikes, and adhered to not revealing its future directions towards Tehran, according to officials familiar with the discussions.
A primary intelligence assessment was published by the “CNN” network reported that the American strikes only led to the delay of the Iranian nuclear program for a few months, without destroying its main components.
The administration of President Donald Trump condemned the leak, and said that its aim is to question the efficacy of American strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and to photograph these strikes as a failure.
“Fullly wiped out”
On Thursday, the US President renewed his confirmation that Iran’s nuclear facilities were completely erased.
Trump said in a speech at the White House that the planes had accurately hit their targets.
He added that no articles were transferred from the Iranian “Fordo” nuclear facility before the American attack on it.
Trump described the press conference held yesterday with Defense Minister Beit Higseth and Chief of Staff, General Dan Kane as the greatest and most professional conferences he saw, as he put it.
He said that the “false” media should expel everyone who participated in the fierce campaign and an apology to those who described them as great warriors and to everyone.
During the press conference, Higseth said that the CIA information confirmed that the strikes have delayed Iran’s nuclear program for years, noting that Tehran officials will talk about many incorrect things to enhance their internal front, as he put it.
Concurrent, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araraqi indicated that the targeted nuclear facilities were seriously damaged.
A few days ago, Reuters quoted a large Iranian source as saying that most of the highly fertilized uranium at the Fordo facility was transferred to an unannounced place before the American attack.
Experts offered the possibility that Iran had anticipated the American attack by emptying the targeted nuclear sites of its highly enriched uranium stock.
