The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

    White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

    Everything else aside. I can’t get over the fact that the White House is now communicating like a teenager getting high with his friends.

      So it’s inaccurate, but also top secret inaccurate. Why didn’t they fix the inaccuracy in the top secret report?

      It’s even worse when you see and hear them speak.

      The quickened and higher-pitched “pseudo-indignant” voice and the constant “liars grin” is just the worst.

      Wow, I thought you were kidding, writing some parody response… But no… No that’s exactly what she wrote…

      I really thought you were writing a parody of what she could tell, but it’s real. This women is a disgrace.

      She was probably in color guard or volleyball. That would not surprise me whatsoever. I don’t hate many people. It’s legitimately difficult for me to hate someone. She’s REALLY FUCKING CLOSE.

      Yeah, it’s shocking that it’s real. Reads like a message from a dictatorship.

      So they spent several hundred million to conduct a training exercise in how to fail? Trump can do that by just trying to have an erection.

      Hell, Jd Vance excretes failure
