Following a classified briefing, senators expressed division over the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Democratic senators challenged the Trump administration's assertions of a major success, citing intelligence that indicated limited impact—merely delaying Iran's nuclear program by months. Senator Chris Murphy emphasized the lack of evidence supporting claims of total obliteration of the program. In contrast, Republican senators hailed the strikes as a significant setback for Iran, highlighting damage to critical infrastructure but acknowledged that the challenge remains unresolved. The briefing left many legislators questioning the long-term strategy against Iran's nuclear ambitions.
To me, it still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months.
There was no coherent strategy, no end game, no specific, detailed plan on how Iran does not attain a nuclear weapon.
The strike was a major blow, citing catastrophic hits to Iran's centrifuge infrastructure, uranium conversion facilities, and underground bunkers.
It is not over until the regime decides to change their attitude and their behavior.
