Iran nuclear effort set back 1 to 2 years by bombings, Pentagon says

'What we've seen, almost, in fact, just universally among our allies, is them congratulating the United States, the president, the secretary of defense, on that bold operation, and the idea that American action in Iran has set the conditions for global stability,' he said. Advertisement Iran's president, meanwhile, has enacted a law to suspend cooperation with the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, Iranian state media reported Wednesday, in a move that will shut out international inspectors from overseeing the country's contested nuclear program. American B-2 bombers hit two Iranian nuclear sites with massive 'bunker buster' bombs last month, as Trump joined Israel's bombing campaign in Iran. The Air Force dropped 12 of the massive GBU-57 bombs on the Fordo nuclear site and two on the nuclear site at Natanz. Trump has since declared a ceasefire and said that he was pursuing diplomacy with Tehran. The issue of how far back the American and Israeli bombing campaign put the Iran nuclear program became almost an instant matter of contention, after Trump announced in the immediate aftermath of the American strikes that the bombs had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program. Advertisement Intelligence assessments since then, including ones by the Pentagon and the American intelligence community, have been more cautious. A preliminary assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency that was widely reported on last week estimated that the strikes set back the Iranian nuclear program by only a few months. The CIA director said later in the week that the Iranian program had been severely damaged, and the U.S. intelligence agencies were continuing to assess the strike. Parnell was not presenting a formal Defense Department battle damage assessment Wednesday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Secretary last week echoed Trump's language, and said, according to a White House statement, that 'based on everything we have seen -- and I've seen it all -- our bombing campaign obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons.' But Gen. Dan Caine, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has used more careful language, saying that 'initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction.'

'Hero' B-2 pilots expected to keep low profile at July 4 White House visit

The B-2 bomber pilots and crews who helped to strike Iranian nuclear sites earlier this month are being told to keep a low profile this weekend if they take up President Donald Trump on his offer to come to the White House on Friday on the July Fourth holiday. Trump insists the pilots "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program entirely during a June 21 bombing mission and that the B-2 pilots were "devastated" by news reports that questioned his assessment. Insisting the pilots should be feted as heroes, Trump invited them and their crews to celebrate the July 4 holiday in Washington, which the White House said would include flyovers with B-2 bombers, as well as F-22 and F-35 fighter jets, which were also part of the recent bombing operation. Officials say though that as of Wednesday no public ceremony is planned and the pilots' identities are not being disclosed for security reasons. "Our adversaries are skilled at exploiting the digital realm, collecting and analyzing open-source information, and leveraging advanced technologies to target U.S. military personnel, operations and activities," according to an Air Force statement. "Airmen involved in sensitive missions are briefed on the risks and vulnerabilities posed by the changing information environment to assist in managing the public release of information in a manner that protects the safety and security of personnel and assets," the statement added. According to the Pentagon, the 14 pilots aboard seven B-2 Spirit bombers flew more than 36 hours straight from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri as part of "Operation Midnight Hammer." The pilots dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs on the Fordo and Natanz nuclear sites in Iran. A third site, Isfahan, was struck by Tomahawk missiles. In the immediate hours following the attack, the Defense Intelligence Agency produced an early assessment estimating that the sites endured significant damage but estimated that Iran's nuclear program was set back by "months." According to the two people familiar with the classified report, the bombing sealed off the entrances to two of the three nuclear sites targeted in the attack but that most of the damage was done to structures above ground, leaving the lower structures intact. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe later said "new intelligence" found the bombing campaign set the program back by years. The disclosure of the DIA findings, first reported by CNN, enraged Trump who said the pilots were "devastated." "You know, I got a call from Missouri -- great state that I won three times by a lot," Trump said. "And I got a call that the pilots and the people on the plane were devastated because they [the press] were trying to minimize the attack ... I spoke to one of them [who] said, 'sir, we hit the site. It was perfect. It was dead on."

US ready to arm Israel with bunker-busting bombs if Iran goes nuclear

The US is preparing to authorize giving Israel B-2 stealth bombers and 30,000-pound, 20-foot-long 'bunker buster' bombs if Iran resumes its nuclear weapons program, under a new bill proposed by a bipartisan pair of lawmakers. The Bunker Buster Act would allow President Trump to 'take actions to ensure Israel is prepared for all contingencies if Iran seeks to develop a nuclear weapon,' according to Reps. Josh Gottheimer, (D-NJ), and Mike Lawler, (R-NY), who proposed the legislation. 'Iran, the leading state sponsor of terror, and one of America's top enemies, can never have a nuclear weapon. That's why I strongly supported our military actions earlier this month,' Gottheimer said in a statement. Advertisement 'Iran has killed scores of Americans, including our service members, and repeatedly attacked our key democratic ally, Israel. Israel must be able to defend herself against Iran, and ensure that Iran cannot rebuild its nuclear capabilities,' he added. 6 The US is ready to supply Israel with B-2 bombers if Iran restarts its nuclear program. US Air Force 'This bill gives the President the authority to equip Israel with the tools and training they need to deter Tehran and make the world a safer place,' Lawler said. Advertisement B-2 bomber pilots were deployed last month in a historic attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, launching 14 GBU 57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, better known as bunker-buster bombs, onto three separate sites in the country. The US 'totally obliterated' the Iranian regime's nuclear program, President Trump claimed, after the bombs penetrated up to 200 feet below the surface into the underground facilities. 6 Rep. Josh Gottheimer is one of two proponents of the bipartisan bill. Getty Images 6 Rep. Mike Lawler also proposed the Bunker Buster Act. REUTERS Advertisement Israel also took part in the strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. The US had 19 B-2s in operation as of last year, and has not allowed any of its allies to use the stealth bombers. It's the only plane capable of delivering the massive payload. 6 US strikes targeted three nuclear sites in Iran last month. Rob Jejenich / NY Post Design Centrifuges at Iran's underground nuclear site at Fordow are 'no longer operational' following last month's US strikes, the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) Chair Rafael Grossi told Radio France Internationale this week. Advertisement However, there are rumors Iran may have moved its stock of enriched uranium away from the targeted sites ahead of the bombing, which administration officials have vehemently denied. 6 Bunker-busting bombs travel up to 200 feet below the ground. Department of Defense 6 Iran's main uranium enrichment site in Fordow was attacked. via REUTERS Iran may begin enriching uranium again within a 'matter of months,' Grossi told CBS last week. 'The capacities they have are there. They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that. But as I said, frankly speaking, one cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there,' Grossi said. 'It is clear that there has been severe damage, but it's not total damage. Iran has the capacities there; industrial and technological capacities. So if they so wish, they will be able to start doing this again,' he added.
