US, European intel clashes over damage to Iran’s nuclear program
The CIA contradicted a leaked report that suggested the US strikes had set back Iran’s ambitions by only a few months, while European intelligence suggested enriched uranium had been moved.www.semafor.com
“… A leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report had suggested the US strikes set back Tehran’s ambitions by only a few months, but the CIA on Wednesday said more up-to-date intelligence indicated key facilities were destroyed and would take years to rebuild.
Meanwhile, a preliminary intelligence assessment provided to European governments suggested that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile was not concentrated in Fordo, and had been distributed to other locations ahead of the US strikes, the Financial Times reported.…”

During the Biden Administration, US Intel proved repeatedly that it was FAR superior to a lot of European intel with respect to Russia/Ukraine and to a lesser extent regarding the Middle East. Who knows now …
Assuming that CIA analysis is as fishy as it seems, this is problematic to say the least. The people in the intelligence committees need to know the truth so that they can make good decisions. Hiding the true results out of pride is a dangerous game.
Even if Iran wasn't on the fast track to get nukes before this, they certainly are now.
