President Donald Trump has lashed out at the leaked intelligence report that suggested the US airstrikes did not destroy the nuclear program in Iran.
A preliminary intelligence assessment is said to have found that the US military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend did not destroy the country’s nuclear programme, as Trump has claimed, and only set it back by a matter of months.
“FAKE NEWS CNN, TOGETHER WITH THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES, HAVE TEAMED UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEMEAN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY,” the US president ranted on Truth Social.
Earlier Trump claimed he “stopped the war” as a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran appeared to hold. “It was my great honor to Destroy All Nuclear facilities & capability, and then, STOP THE WAR!” he said.
A furious Trump earlier accused both the Iranian and Israeli militaries of violating the ceasefire just hours after it came into effect. “They don’t know what the f*** they’re doing,” the US president said of both countries.
