Key parts of Iran's nuclear program still intact, says Pentagon report disputed by Trump


The report was based on intercepted communications and other intelligence sources in the 96 hours after the U.S. attack spearheaded by U.S. Air Force B-2 bombers dropping the world’s most potent conventional weapon – the 30,000-pound, bunker-busting GBU-57. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission.“ Trump dug in on his dismissal of the assessment's findings in his comments at a NATO summit in the Netherlands on June 25, comparing the impact of the strikes to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II.
