Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed
Wednesday that recent reports by CNN and The New York Times, citing anonymous
sources suggesting that last week's attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities caused
only limited damage, are based on selected excerpts from the Pentagon's overall
damage assessment.
Both outlets reported that initial US intelligence
assessments indicated the attacks were less effective than initially claimed.
“The analysis of the damage to the facilities and the impact
of the attacks on Iran's nuclear ambitions is ongoing and could change as more
information becomes available. However, the preliminary findings contradict
President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the attacks ‘totally and
completely destroyed’ Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities,” CNN reported.
