Low Level Deep State Loser leaks to the media about the failure on Iraq bombing

First, the NY Slimes:

Strike Set Back Iran’s Nuclear Program by Only a Few Months, U.S. Report Says
Classified findings indicate that the attack sealed off the entrances to two facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings.

A preliminary classified U.S. report says the American bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings, according to officials familiar with the findings.

The early findings conclude that the strikes over the weekend set back Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months, the officials said.

Before the attack, U.S. intelligence agencies had said that if Iran tried to rush to making a bomb, it would take about three months. After the U.S. bombing run and days of attacks by the Israeli Air Force, the report by the Defense Intelligence Agency estimated that the program was delayed less than six months.

Former officials said that any rushed effort by Iran to get a bomb would be to develop a relatively small and crude device. A miniaturized warhead would be far more difficult to produce, and it is not clear how much damage to that more advanced research has taken place.

No link (per usual, paywall)...more to follow...

1. Even Iranian nuclear program people have minimal knowledge of what and how much was damaged;

2. Because the bombs used explode far underground; damage would not be visible on the surface;

3. Iran's centrifuge complex could be destroyed by the bomb exploding in the chamber where they are located;

4. Iran's centrifuge complex could be destroyed by the bomb exploding in a chamber adjoining where they are located and causing the centrifuges' chamber's wall and/or ceiling to collapse or cave in;

5. Iran's centrifuge complex could be destroyed by the bombs cause enough shock and vibration to render the centrifuges beyond repair;

6. Iran's centrifuge complex could be made inaccessible long-term by the bombs destroying/collapsing tunnels accessing the centrifuges;

7. Some or all of the above.

After four years in Trump's first term of intelligence people withholding information from Trump, lying to Trump, lying to the public to undermine Trump, and leaking information to sabotage Trump actions and policies - as well as the above and the source of the annoymorous claim being the reliably Trump-Hating NYT and CNN - this is just a hyper-partisan MSM effort to create doubt about a Trump and US military accomplishment.

Iran accepting a cease fire is highly suggestive that they know enough to know their nuclear ambitions have been set back for years or decades, not a few weeks or months. The dog isn't barking, it's whining and whimpering.

This CNN story was written by the same "reporter" who wrote the very first FAKE NEWS story claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation.

How did that work out for you,

Why Trusting CNN on Iran Is a Mistake

This article quotes these unnamed sources as claiming that the strikes only temporarily damaged Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It’s all an effort to discredit President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Naturally, we shouldn’t expect anything less from CNN.

However, Israeli intelligence, which is much closer to the situation than any Washington “sources” who would run their mouths to CNN, says that, while the U.S. strike may not have totally obliterated Iran’s nuclear program, it set the Islamic Republic back “several years.”
...
Two words in that CNN report prove to be especially problematic: Natasha Bertrand. Does her name ring a bell? If it does, it’s probably because she was the reporter behind the claim that the New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
...
It’s not hard to imagine that since Bertrand was willing to push the Biden campaign’s propaganda to try to defeat Trump in 2020, she would be willing to do all she can to discredit Trump’s success in 2025. After all, if she proved untrustworthy once, why wouldn’t she show herself to be unreliable again?

An apt more general version of the PJMedia article title would be:

Trusting CNN on Anything Trump Is a Mistake
