A leaked preliminary intelligence assessment reportedly found that the US military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend did not destroy the nuclear programme, despite Donald Trump repeatedly claiming the US “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
The Defense Intelligence Agency’s initial assessment, leaked to CNN, says the strikes likely only delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions by a few months.
Despite the leaks, Mr Trump boasted that he had “stopped the war,” while speaking at the Nato summit.
