NOW this is called EAT SHIT........
"The
US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program
and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.
The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.
Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the
centrifuges are largely “intact.” Another source said that the intelligence assessed enriched uranium was
moved out of the sites prior to the US strikes.
“So the (DIA) assessment is that the
US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added.
Jeffrey Lewis, a weapons expert and professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies who has closely reviewed commercial satellite imagery of the strike sites, agreed with the assessment that the
attacks do not appear to have ended Iran’s nuclear program.
“The ceasefire came without either Israel or the United States being
able to destroy several key underground nuclear facilities, including near Natanz, Isfahan and Parchin,” Lewis said, referring to the ceasefire between Israel and Iran that Trump announced on Monday. Parchin is a separate nuclear complex near Tehran.
That is because there was an understanding that the bomb would likely not successfully penetrate Isfa
han’s lower levels, which are buried even deeper than Fordow, one of the sources said.
US officials believe Iran also maintains secret nuclear facilities that were not targeted in the strike and remain operational, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
