US President Donald Trump has repeated his claims that American air attacks “erased” of Iranian nuclear sites after labeling an intelligence leak that evokes doubts about the amount of damage to Iran’s nuclear program as “fake news”.
“We hear that it was destruction, it was a virtual destruction,” Mr Trump told reporters at NATO top in The Hague.
“You look at the ground above, don’t forget that the flame is completely underground, but everything above, if you look at the before and the after photos, everything is burned black.
“I believe it was total destruction, I believe they had no chance to get something out.“
Mr. Trump’s claim comes after a leaked provisional American intelligence assessment has reported that the strikes of the weekend only put back Iran’s nuclear program by less than six months.
The assessment showed that the bomb attacks did not collapse underground buildings at the nuclear locations, and the stock of enriched uranium of Iran was not destroyed, with part of it possibly already moving to secret nuclear locations.
The assessment of the Defense Intelligence Agency was for the time being and according to the reports a clear picture had to be.

“The intelligence was very decisive,” Trump said during NATO press conference.
“They have it [Iran] His robberies. They are not going to build bombs. “
Mr. Trump also shot on American media who reported on the leaked intelligence, including CNN and the New York Times describe as “Scum”.
“What they do is to try to make this incredible victory in a little less,”
he said.
Mr. Trump said that his administration would hold Iran conversations next week through his nuclear program, with a possible agreement.
During the press conference, Mr Rubio repeated that Iran was “in bad condition” and “far behind today compared to where they were only seven days ago”.
“The conversion facility … We can’t even find where it is, where it used to be on a map because the whole thing is black, it is being swept away,” he said.
“Then we dropped 12 of the strongest bombs on the planet, straight along the hole in two places, everything under that mountain is in poor condition.”
In an earlier interview with Politico, Mr Rubio said that he believed that after the strike Iran was “much further away from a nuclear weapon”.
“That is the most important thing to understand – significant, very important, substantial damage was caused to various components, and we just learn more about it,” he said.
Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt of the White House said that the assessment was “downright wrong” and was classified as “top secret”, but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous loser at a low level in the intelligence community.
“Everyone knows what happens if you drop 14 (sic) 30,000 pounds of bombs perfectly on their goals: total destruction,”
she said.
The Israeli defense forces said it believed that the nuclear project and Iran’s rocket program had been restored for years.
Israel’s army said on Tuesday that it was “still early” to assess the damage to the nuclear locations of Iran.
“It is still early to assess the results of the operation,” said the Israeli military spokesperson Brigadiereral Effie Defrin in a press conference on television.
“I believe we have yielded an important hit for the nuclear program, and I can also say that we have delayed it for a few years,”
he said.
Israel and Iran agreed to a cease -the fire agreement, which previously came into force on Tuesday.
It stopped -the fire broke briefly before both sides of the conflict herself again in order not to launch any further attacks.
Nuclear Chief says the top priority of the Iranian site, says Nuclear Chief
The Chief International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said that his top priority was to return to Iran’s nuclear facilities to assess the impact of us and Israeli military strikes and enrich the stocks enriched uranium.
“During these attacks we saw extensive damage at various nuclear locations in Iran, including the uranium conversion and enrichment facilities,” said Mr Grossi.

However, he said that much of the very enriched uranium of Iran could possibly survive Israeli and American attacks, because it was possible by Tehran moved shortly after the first strikes.
In a letter to the Iranian Foreign Minister, Mr Grossi said that he was looking for the return of his inspectors to Iranian locations, including the three plants where the uranium enriched until Israel launched strikes on 13 June.
He added that the IAEA had identified additional impact points at nuclear locations at Fordow and Natanz after the American strike, with two impact holes in Natanz above the underground halls used for enrichment and storage.
Iran connects the ties with IAEA
Iran’s parliament approved a bill on Wednesday to suspend the collaboration with the Nuclear watchdog of the UN, according to State News Outlet Nournews.
The bill, which Iran’s non -chosen Guardian Council must be approved to become law, indicated that every future inspection should have approved by the Supreme National Security Council by the IAEA.
The state media reported that Iran would accelerate its civilian nuclear program, referring to the speaker of parliament, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.
Qalibaf has criticized that the watchdog “offered its international credibility for sale”, by refusing to condemn the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The National Security Committee of Iranian Parliament approved the general overview of the bill this week
The committee spokesperson said that the bill would suspend the installation of surveillance cameras, inspections and submitting reports to the IAEA.
