Trump’s Defense Secretary blasted the press, accusing journalists of “hunting for scandals,” while calling the recent American strikes on Iran a “resounding success.” His remarks come in the wake of an early intelligence leak — a preliminary assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) — suggesting that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may have set back the country's nuclear program by only a few months. For expert analysis, we turn to Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies’ Non-Proliferation and Bio-Defense Program. Stricker discusses the effectiveness of the strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites, how the DIA is compiling damage assessments, and what steps may come next in the ongoing effort to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions. She also highlights a site near Tehran that warrants close monitoring and offers perspective on whether other nuclear-armed nations should also be of concern.
