Trump dismisses leaked assessment suggesting strikes only temporarily disrupted Iran’s nuclear development
Donald Trump said he is weighing forcing journalists who published leaked details from a US intelligence report assessing the impact of the recent American military strikes on Iran to reveal their sources – and the president also claimed his administration may prosecute those reporters and sources if they don’t comply.
In an interview Sunday with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Trump doubled down on his claim that the 21 June airstrikes aimed at certain Iranian facilities successfully crippled Iran’s nuclear program. He insisted the attacks destroyed key enriched uranium stockpiles, despite Iranian assertions that the material had been relocated before the strikes.
Trump dismissed the leaked intelligence assessment in question – which suggested the strikes only temporarily disrupted Iran’s nuclear development – as incomplete and biased. The report, circulated among US lawmakers and intelligence officials, concluded that the damage inflicted was significantly less than what Trump’s administration had publicly claimed.
Seriously.
Somebody should put a breathalyzer interlock device in that guys mic. And his devices for posting.
probably can smell the alcohol from his breath, no breathealyzer needed.
You’re not wrong, but like. Imagine, if you will, Hegseth needing to be sober to speak into a microphone or tweet something out. Or otherwise be a SecDef.
