The US Air Force's strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy key components of the country's nuclear program, APA reports citing CNN.
According to four sources familiar with the matter, this assessment was based on a battle damage analysis conducted by the US Central Command after the strikes.
It is noted that the analysis of the strikes is ongoing and the results may change as new intelligence information becomes available.
However, the initial results contradict President Donald Trump's claims that the strikes "completely destroyed" Iran's nuclear facilities.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also said in a statement on Sunday that Iran's nuclear ambitions had been "destroyed".
According to two of the sources, Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was not destroyed in the strikes.
Another source said that the centrifuges were mostly intact.
