US Intelligence Only Sees Limited Additional Damage To Iran Nuclear Program Since Last June
A widely circulating fresh report in Reuters has raised eyebrows and serious questions related to the effectiveness of the 38-day aerial campaign which saw US-Israel bombs unleashed in the many thousands (combined: some 20,000+ munitions expended) on the Islamic Republic.
“US intelligence assessments indicate that the time Iran would need to build a nuclear weapon has not changed since last summer, when analysts estimated that a US-Israeli attack had pushed back the timeline to up to a year, according to three sources familiar with the matter,” the report lays out.
“The assessments of Tehran’s nuclear program remain broadly unchanged even after two months of a war that US President Donald Trump launched in part to stop the Islamic Republic from developing a nuclear bomb,” it continues.

These articles SERIOUSLY question the value of the bombing campaign carried out by US/Israel over past 60 days and “essentially” says it wasn’t effective. It “reads” like a report from some vested interest that wants to see the war continue (and escalate). While the headline refers to having been written by US Intelligence nowhere in either article does it reference “who” wrote it or if in fact the information is ever from an American source. This doesn’t smell right — beware the Fog Of War!
I asked Co- Pilot
This is Bullshit
There was one unofficial “Leaked” preliminary assessment considered “Low Confidence ” Shortly after the June Bombings from One Military Intel Outfit
ALL the other Intel “Silos” either had no comment or disavowed this preliminary assessment.
There have been NO OTHER US Intel assessments released on the effects of the recent Bombings.
The response I got was very detailed and long explaining how and why such a leak is highly suspect etc
