“Several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would need to be rebuilt over the course of years."
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency said on Wednesday that intelligence indicates Iran’s nuclear program was “severely damaged” during the Islamic Republic’s 12-day war with Israel.
“CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran’s nuclear program has been severely damaged by the recent, targeted strikes,” according to a statement attributed to agency director John Ratcliffe.
“This includes new intelligence from a historically reliable and accurate source indicating that several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would need to be rebuilt over the course of years,” the statement continued.
