BERTRAND that it was ░░░░░░░░ by the Defense Intelligence ░░░░░░░░ which is the Pentagon ░░░░░░░░ intelligence arm and it ░░░░░░░░ worth noting that it ░░░░░░░░ a very early assessment ░░░░░░░░ strikes were only a ░░░░░░░░ of days ago and ░░░░░░░░ intelligence community is still ░░░░░░░░ intelligence They are still ░░░░░░░░ to come up with ░░░░░░░░ full comprehensive picture of ░░░░░░░░ exactly happened here But ░░░░░░░░ on a battle damage ░░░░░░░░ that was carried out ░░░░░░░░ U S Central Command ░░░░░░░░ looking at the images ░░░░░░░░ looking at what was ░░░░░░░░ damaged the Defense Intelligence ░░░░░░░░ has assessed that the ░░░░░░░░ components of Iran s ░░░░░░░░ program are largely intact ░░░░░░░░ that Iran s nuclear ░░░░░░░░ has essentially only been ░░░░░░░░ back by months Now ░░░░░░░░ presented this information to ░░░░░░░░ White House for comment ░░░░░░░░ White House Press Secretary ░░░░░░░░ Leavitt she did acknowledge ░░░░░░░░ existence of this assessment ░░░░░░░░ she said in a ░░░░░░░░ that the administration disagrees ░░░░░░░░ it She said quote ░░░░░░░░ alleged assessment is flat ░░░░░░░░ wrong and was classified ░░░░░░░░ top secret but was ░░░░░░░░ leaked to CNN by ░░░░░░░░ anonymous low level loser ░░░░░░░░ the intelligence community The ░░░░░░░░ of this alleged assessment ░░░░░░░░ a clear attempt to ░░░░░░░░ President Trump and discredit ░░░░░░░░ brave fighter pilots who ░░░░░░░░ a perfectly executed mission ░░░░░░░░ obliterate Iran s nuclear ░░░░░░░░ Everyone knows what happens ░░░░░░░░ you drop 14 30 ░░░░░░░░ pound bombs perfectly on ░░░░░░░░ targets total obliteration Now ░░░░░░░░ is worth noting here ░░░░░░░░ there has been dissent ░░░░░░░░ should say within the ░░░░░░░░ community within the defense ░░░░░░░░ about how much of ░░░░░░░░ impact these massive bunker ░░░░░░░░ bombs would actually have ░░░░░░░░ Iran s nuclear facilities ░░░░░░░░ was far from certain ░░░░░░░░ that these bombs had ░░░░░░░░ been tested in an ░░░░░░░░ combat scenario whether they ░░░░░░░░ actually penetrate those very ░░░░░░░░ deep underground tunnels that ░░░░░░░░ underneath these nuclear facilities ░░░░░░░░ what we are told ░░░░░░░░ that as of now ░░░░░░░░ Defense Intelligence Agency assessment ░░░░░░░░ does conclude at this ░░░░░░░░ again it is still ░░░░░░░░ early that those underground ░░░░░░░░ including the centrifuges including ░░░░░░░░ highly enriched uranium that ░░░░░░░░ has been talking so ░░░░░░░░ about those are largely ░░░░░░░░ Now of course this ░░░░░░░░ stand at odds with ░░░░░░░░ President Donald Trump and ░░░░░░░░ of Defense Pete Hegseth ░░░░░░░░ have been saying in ░░░░░░░░ days about the impact ░░░░░░░░ these U S Military ░░░░░░░░ Of course President Trump ░░░░░░░░ it was totally obliterated ░░░░░░░░ Secretary Hegseth did as ░░░░░░░░ And he actually also ░░░░░░░░ CNN with a statement ░░░░░░░░ he said that quote ░░░░░░░░ on everything we have ░░░░░░░░ and I ve seen ░░░░░░░░ all our bombing campaign ░░░░░░░░ Iran s ability to ░░░░░░░░ nuclear weapons Our massive ░░░░░░░░ hit exactly the right ░░░░░░░░ at each target and ░░░░░░░░ perfectly The impact of ░░░░░░░░ bombs is buried under ░░░░░░░░ mountain of rubble in ░░░░░░░░ so anyone who says ░░░░░░░░ bombs were not devastating ░░░░░░░░ just trying to undermine ░░░░░░░░ president and the successful ░░░░░░░░ Now our sources did ░░░░░░░░ here that there was ░░░░░░░░ damage that was done ░░░░░░░░ to the above ground ░░░░░░░░ at these nuclear sites ░░░░░░░░ so there was damage ░░░░░░░░ of course by these ░░░░░░░░ bombs but the core ░░░░░░░░ of the nuclear program ░░░░░░░░ are told they are ░░░░░░░░ intact and it only ░░░░░░░░ the program back by ░░░░░░░░ matter of months.”
