US President Donald Trump announced that Defense Minister Pete HegSeth would organize a “main” press conference on Thursday morning because the administration is trying to suppress doubts about the damage caused by US strokes at Iranian nuclear places.
“Hegseth, along with military representatives, organizes the main press conference tomorrow morning at 8 am to fight for the dignity of our big American pilots,” Trump said on Wednesday in a contribution to Truth Social.
“At a press conference, interesting and irrefutable will show up,” he said.
Trump on Wednesday rejected the initial news reports that they stated that the strikes of the United States caused only a peripheral failure of the Iranian nuclear program. It insisted that US intelligence agencies lacked complete information and stood according to their own assessment that US bombs and missiles brought a crushing blow.
“It was a devastating attack and knocked on the loop,” Trump said, when his administration tried to support his claims, she made only a few hours after the attack that Iranian nuclear devices were “completely and fully destroyed”.
What does escape message say?
According to the CNN report, citing seven sources familiar with this matter, the initial assessment of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) indicated that the strikes only caused temporary disruption, which may have set Tehran’s nuclear program back for several months.
The evaluation based on the review of battle damage by the US Central Command, then contradicts the public statement of President Trump and the Minister of Defense Hegset, who claimed that the strikes “completely destroyed” the Iranian nuclear infrastructure.
According to CNN, citing intelligence sources, the centrifugs remain in Iranian nuclear facilities mostly functional and enriched uranium stocks were probably moved before strikes.
The conflict between Iran and Israel began on 13 June, when Israel launched an extensive air strike focused on the Iranian military and nuclear facilities within the “Rising Lion” operation. Iran responded by launching the “TRUE PROMISE 3 Operation”, a campaign concerning the attacks of missile and drones against Israel’s infrastructure.
