ENEMEDIA: Despite “Total Obliteration,” CNN Says US Strikes on Iran Did Not Destroy Nuclear Sites

President Trump revealed Wednesday that Israel sent agents to Iran’s bombed nuclear sites to confirm their “total obliteration” — while insisting his surprise attack was too quick for Tehran to have removed its uranium.

Trump was adamant the strikes wiped out Iran’s nuclear facilities and set the program back decades — despite a leaked preliminary intelligence assessment suggesting Tehran could salvage it within months.

“Israel is doing a report on it now, I understand, and I was told that they said it was total obliteration,” Trump told reporters at the NATO summit in the Netherlands. (NY Post)

Therefore, the total weight of the bombs dropped was 14 bombs * 30,000 pounds/bomb = 420,000 pounds.

Wow not sure he was supposed to say this part out loud. 😂

Trump discloses that the Mossad entered the Fordow facility after the US decimated it.

What they found was “Total obliteration”, but surely CNN knows better. 🤡 pic.twitter.com/64zWsJRoSF

Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say

By Natasha Bertrand, Katie Bo Lillis and Zachary Cohen, CNN, June 25, 2025:

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”

Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.” Another source said that the intelligence assessed enriched uranium was moved out of the sites prior to the US strikes.

“So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added.

The White House acknowledged the existence of the assessment but said they disagreed with it.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

Trump, who’s in the Netherlands attending this week’s NATO summit, pushed back on CNN’s report in a Truth Social post. “One of the most successful military strikes in history,” Trump wrote in the all-caps post adding, “The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed!”
