US Strikes Delay But Don’t Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Program, Intelligence Report Reveals

US Strikes Only Delay Iran’s Nuclear Program by Months, Says Intelligence Report

Despite US President Donald Trump’s assertion that recent US military strikes “completely and fully obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities, an American intelligence report paints a far more measured picture.

Intelligence Report: Nuclear Program Not Destroyed

According to three sources familiar with the classified assessment, US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend have only delayed Iran’s nuclear efforts by a few months. The strikes were not sufficient to dismantle the program entirely, contradicting Trump’s public statements.

The report suggests the Tehran regime retains the technical expertise, material, and infrastructure necessary to resume development swiftly.

Iran Confirms Continuation of Nuclear Activities

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking to domestic media via Al Arabiya, confirmed that Iran’s nuclear program remains active. He emphasized that despite external pressure, the country will not abandon its strategic objectives.

This statement underlines growing skepticism over the long-term effectiveness of military intervention in halting nuclear proliferation.

Geopolitical Implications for Markets and Diplomacy

The revelation could impact global markets, especially in energy and defense sectors, as geopolitical risk in the Middle East continues to drive investor sentiment. Additionally, it raises questions about the credibility of U.S. intelligence-to-public messaging and future diplomatic options with Tehran.
