A preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report reveals the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend caused significant damage but failed to destroy core components. Bunker-buster bombs hit Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, collapsing entrances and damaging underground infrastructure. However, centrifuges and enriched uranium stockpiles largely survived, delaying the program by only one to six months—contradicting President Trump’s claim of having “obliterated” them . The White House dismissed the DIA findings as “flat‑out wrong.” As the fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel takes hold, global leaders are scrutinising the limited impact of the strikes.
