However, the TV channel continues, this assessment was prepared by the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense It is based on an analysis conducted by the Central Command of the US Armed Forces after the American strikes. tass.ru.

Iran's enriched uranium reserves have not been destroyed, and the centrifuges are mostly "undamaged," the source said. "According to [RUMO's] assessment, the United States has pushed them back for a maximum of a few months," the source added. The analysis of damage to nuclear facilities and the impact of strikes on Iran's nuclear program is ongoing and may change as new data becomes available, CNN emphasizes.
