Despite President Donald Trump declaring Iran’s nuclear program “obliterated,” early U.S. intelligence says not so fast.
A Defense Intelligence Agency report obtained by CNN reveals that key parts of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure — including centrifuges and enriched uranium — survived the recent U.S. and Israeli attacks.
The Fordow uranium enrichment site was damaged — yes — but not destroyed. Analysts say Iran likely moved some of its stockpile and centrifuges out of key sites days before the bombs dropped. That means Iran’s program has been delayed by only months — not dismantled.
The Trump administration, meanwhile, doubled down — saying the strikes were total destruction and slamming the leak as “treasonous.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the report “low confidence.”
But outside experts and satellite images suggest Iran anticipated the attack and took steps to preserve its capabilities. One intelligence officer said Iran could still build a covert program off what remains.
