Overview

• A preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency report leaked June 24 concluded that June 21 airstrikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sealed facility entrances and delayed Iran’s nuclear progress by only a few months without collapsing underground structures.
• The assessment revealed that Iran transferred much of its 60% enriched uranium stockpile to undisclosed sites ahead of the strikes, complicating damage evaluation.
• President Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected the leaked findings as “flat-out wrong,” insisting that US forces had “completely destroyed” the nuclear facilities.
• CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Israeli military officials affirmed that the strikes inflicted significant damage, with some estimates suggesting a multi-year setback.
• A fragile ceasefire holds as US, Israeli and international diplomats work to resume IAEA inspections and negotiate long-term limits on Iran’s nuclear program.
