U.S.-Iran Conflict: Conflicting Views on Airstrike Damage
The U.S. recently bombed Iranian nuclear facilities.
President Trump claims the damage was severe, like Hiroshima, but intelligence agencies are unsure how bad it was, with some saying the program was only delayed a few months.
Trump didn't rule out more attacks if Iran rebuilds.
Russia thinks it's too soon to know the damage, while the IAEA is trying to get inspectors back into Iran's nuclear sites to check on the uranium.
Trump stated the U.S. strikes severely damaged Iranian nuclear sites, despite conflicting intelligence.
Intelligence assessments are 'inconclusive,' with some suggesting only a few months setback.
Trump refused to rule out future strikes, answering 'Sure' when asked if the U.S. would strike again.
Russia said it's too early to assess the extent of the damage from the U.S. strikes.
IAEA chief Grossi's top priority is regaining access to Iranian nuclear sites to verify enriched uranium levels.
