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.

Bad news...

I don’t believe a word of it.

From an article in The New York Post today:

“The head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog group revealed even more damage from the US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites after taking a closer look — including possible chemical contamination at one facility.”

Boy is there a lot of leaking on what should be a TS SCI special category marked intel assessment.

[johniegrad]

This is merely a repetition of the CNN story posted earlier. If the NYT and CNN both report on a story, there can be no story.

[webheart]

New York Times… now that is a trusted news source. If they were telling the truth I would not believe them.

[PGR88]

So I guess “regime change” isn’t happening either?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

So, turning their top scientists to dust is just a minor set back? Keep an eye on who they call up from the minors?

WHICH officials?

[Gnome1949]

Who is leaking classified information to the NY Times? (if this is not just falsified information).

This sounds like Leftist lies just to smear Trump.

[daler]

Anything to tarnish Trump’s moment in the Sun.

Predictably despicable. (Or despicably predictable)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bad news...

"Anonymous source" = "Lie"

Didn't you learn anything from Russiagate?

[bray]

Annonymous sources = lies.

[philman_36]

And whomever is responsible for revealing information from a classified report is in serious legal trouble.

[MeanWestTexan]

An anonymous source speaking off the record.

Story pushed by NYT and CNN.

As credible as Pravda. Maybe less.

[BOBWADE]

I suspect inaccurate briefings to smoke out the leakers

[MeanWestTexan]

“And whomever is responsible for revealing information from a classified report is in serious legal trouble.”

No classified report exists, undoubtedly.

This is fan fiction written by someone at CNN.

Would be a good idea. Have a few stories out there and see which variants emerge in the MSM, which will identify the leakers.
