President Trump claimed that U.S. military strikes have "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities; however, officials and experts warn that the attacks may only delay Iran's nuclear ambitions rather than end them. The extent of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpiles remains unclear, and its capacity to rebuild remains a concern. The U.S. and Israel targeted key sites with advanced weaponry, but the resilience of Iran's covert facilities and their enduring technical expertise indicate that long-term damage to their nuclear program may be limited.
President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. strikes "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities, but experts believe this only temporarily delayed Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Officials highlight challenges in assessing how much enriched uranium Iran possesses and how quickly it can recover its nuclear capabilities following the attacks.
Despite the U.S. and Israeli strikes, experts note that surviving stockpiles of enriched uranium and Iran's underground facilities could allow them to recover their nuclear program.
The combination of a resilient infrastructure, potential covert sites, and Iran's commitment to its nuclear ambitions suggests the strikes are merely a temporary setback.
