A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense, Sean Parnell, stated that airstrikes carried out by the United States ten days ago have caused significant damage to Iran’s nuclear program, delaying it by at least two years.
He told reporters yesterday, “The Department of Defense’s intelligence assessments indicate that we have delayed Iran’s nuclear program by one to two years.”
Although Mr. Parnell did not provide any evidence to support these claims, he emphasized that these strikes were part of targeted U.S. operations.
According to Reuters, Parnell added that nuclear facilities in Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan regions were completely destroyed as a result of the U.S. bombings.
So far, the Iranian government has not issued an official response regarding this matter.
