Intercepted Iranian communications indicated minimal damage to Iran's nuclear facilities from US military action, according to the Washington Post's Sunday report, citing four sources familiar with classified government intelligence.
The Post's report adds to growing uncertainty about the actual impact on Iran's nuclear capabilities. A Defence Intelligence Agency's preliminary assessment, which was leaked, suggested the strikes might have caused only months of setback.
While US President Donald Trump claimed the strikes had "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear programme, officials acknowledge that a comprehensive damage assessment following last weekend's military action requires more time.
The White House contested the Post's report, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating, "The notion that unnamed Iranian officials know what happened under hundreds of feet of rubble is nonsense. Their nuclear weapons program is over."
During his appearance on "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" on Fox News, Trump maintained his stance on the strikes' effectiveness, saying, "It was obliterated like nobody's ever seen before. And that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions, at least for a period of time."
