CIA and CNN dаta: who tells the truth about Iran’s nuclear sites events?

According to CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Iran’s nuclear program has suffered serious damage as a result of recent airstrikes, cia.gov reported. In Ratcliffe’s statement dated June 25, it was noted that this information was obtained from reliable and precise sources, and that several important Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed. Officials say it could take years to rebuild those sites.

In addition, the CIA continues to gather new intelligence. They have taken on the responsibility of providing decision-making bodies and monitors with accurate and up-to-date data. However, on June 25, CNN reported, based on the opinions of seven sources close to U.S. military intelligence, that the airstrikes only delayed Iran’s nuclear program by several months, and that the core components were not completely destroyed.

The New York Times also reported, citing sources, that enriched uranium stockpiles were not destroyed but removed from the nuclear facilities. According to CNN, some centrifuges are still operational.

U.S. President Donald Trump, commenting on these events, accused media outlets such as CNN and The New York Times of spreading “fake news” on his Truth Social page. He stated that the strikes carried out by the U.S. were among the most effective military operations in history and that Iran’s nuclear sites were completely destroyed. Meanwhile, White House officials acknowledged CNN’s assessment but stated they did not agree with it.

At present, conflicting information is coming from various sources, and attempts are being made to clarify the situation. This raises serious questions regarding nuclear safety and international relations.

Today’s events once again raise global concern — only time will tell the future of Iran’s nuclear program and the next phase in international relations. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
