CIA Dir. Confirms Iran’s Nuclear Program Crippled

that is Iranian propaganda. Also, a former Biden official has now come out on TV saying that Iran's nuclear program was in fact set back significantly, again, the complete opposite of what the media has been trying to sell you on. We have the receipts and we'll play it for you. It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts right now.

closed door briefing on Thursday. They said that the Democratic senators repeatedly pressed them about the effectiveness of the strike, pushing for more proof than they had been offered on the matter. In response, Radcliffe told them, per the source president in the room, the way he knows how effective they were was how quickly they folded to Trump versus

how long they dragged out negotiations with Obama. You know how you know the strikes were devastatingly effective, Radcliffe told the Senate Democrats and the briefing, per one source quote, Iran has been fighting Israel for decades. They strung along the Obama administration for twenty months while negotiating the JCPOA, but Trump made them accept the ceasefire with their mortal

enemy in twenty minutes. Radcliffe wasn't done there. He also said during the briefing that the contents of a statement he previously released publicly in which he said the CIA can confirm that Aaran' nuclear program had been severely damaged by the strikes Trump ordered last weekend, saying quote, this includes new intelligence now from an historically reliable and accurate source and method, that several ki Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course

of years. Now, Radcliffe was obviously speaking to the centers in a private room, but that didn't stop the DoD Secretary Pete Hedgseth from telling the world exactly what happened in these attacks and just how wrong the media actually was. Take a listen to his statement at the Pentagon, specifically speaking to the media that's been lawing about the effectiveness of the attack.

half after the actual strike. When it admits itself in writing that it requires weeks to accumulate the necessary data to make such an assessments preliminary, it points out that it's not been coordinated with the intelligence community at all. There's low confidence in this particular reports, it says in the report. There are gaps in the information. It says in the report. Multiple lynchpin assumptions are what this assessment a lynchpin assumption? You know what that is. It means

your entire premiss is predicated on a lynch pin. If you're wrong, everything else is wrong. And yet still this report acknowledges it's likely severe damage. Again, this is preliminary, but leaked because someone had an agenda to try to muddy the waters and make it look like this historic strike I wasn't successful. I'm gonna get to the chairman in a moment, because he's going to lay out the particulars for you based on his professional military experience. But

here's what other folks are saying. THEDIA that put that report out says that this is a preliminary low confidence report and will continue to be refined as additional intelligence becomes available. How about the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission. The devastating US strikes on Fourdeaux destroyed the site's critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable. Have any of these quotes made their way into The New York Times, The

Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN any of these quotes? How about this one? This is a new one from the UN, the United Nations. No friend in the United States or certainly Israel. Often. Here's the head of the UN Atomic Energy Agency this morning, Raphael Grossi. US and Israeli strikes caused enormous damage to Iran's nuclear sites. Don't take my word for it. How about the IDF's chief of staff.

I can say here that the assessment is that we significantly damage the nuclear program, setting it back by years. I repeat years. The Iranian foreign minister, the spokesman, our nuclear instrations have been badly damaged, that's for sure. I'm sure that's an understatement. John Radcliffe, the director of the CIA, putting out a statement just last night. CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran's nuclear program

has been severely damaged by recent targeted strikes. This includes new intelligence from a historically reliable, very different than preliminary assessment with low confidence. He's saying, historically reliable and accurate source of method that several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years. CIA continues to collect additional reliably sourced information

to keep appropriate decision makers fully informed. How about DNA Telsea Gabbard yesterday, she writes, and I quote new intelligence confirms what POTUS has stated numerous times. Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed. Institute for Science and International Security President David Albright Overall Israel and US attacks have effectively destroyed

un Iran's centrifuge enrichment program time and time again. I can go down the list those that understand, those that see, those that do proper assessments recognize that what the United States military did was historic.

faulty info Iranian propaganda from Iranian sources. This is when the media decided to run with the story, knowing that

their propaganda was literally coming from Iran. The top secret Defense intelligence agency known as the DIA assessment that claimed Iran's nuclear sites suffered only moderate damage likely relied on faulty information from deceitful Iranian sources that according to several former US intelligence officers, one of whom described the documents as so unreal you can wipe your aas with it.

The classified DIA report ignite a media firestorm in the days after President Donald Trump authorized those precision strikes on Iran's top three nuclear sites. The findings, of course, werein the league to CNN and The New York Times, which you heard about a moment ago. Then they presented them as facts as bombshell evidence that the US bombing run only set back Tehran's nuclear ambitions by you know, a couple of months. The US intelligence community deemed that initial

assessment with quote low confidence a fact. CNN purposely admitted from its original story and based it solely on satellite imagery and interceptic communications known as signal intelligence from Iranian officials. Again, think about this. You have the Iranian government putting out propaganda and media companies in this country putting it out

there as fact. Shortly after the assessment leaked, Axios reported that communications intercepted by Israel suggested that Iran's military officials have been giving false situation reports to the country's political leadership, downplaying the extent of the damage. Such communications likely made

their way into the da report. According to three former US intelligence operatives, including a current US official and other veteran national security insiders, who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon both on and off the record, some of them referred to the DIA as the discount intelligence agency. It's basically messaging by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, messaging by Tehran.

That is what a former intelligence officer with the US Central Command who operated in the Middle East for nearly thirty years, said, In fact, CNN actually had to report on this, and here's what it sounded like when a former Biden of official had this to say about Iran's nuclear program.

used its own territory to attack Israel. They did it again in October, and again the United States supported Israel and with regional partners as well as European countries to defeat it. And now since then, Iran has lost most of its deterrence power. They had three things going for them. They had proxies meaning terrorist organizations in Lebanon, in Syria and Iraq and Yemen that supported them. The second was the missiles, and the third was the thread of a

nuclear weaponization. Of their nuclear capabilities, most of their proxies are either weakened to the point they can't respond or are choosing now to distance themselves from Iran. Their missile capability has been proven to be less effective because of the United States ability to defend the region, and now their nuclear capability is likely at least set back. Now the whole idea of obliterated or destroyed. These are political terms that are not really relevant, and I would urge

Americans not to really pay attention to those words. What we do know, we know that as a result of the both the Israeli the American strikes, the nuclear program was set back significantly. How much we don't really know. Most Israeli military analysts and generals that I've spoken to over the last twenty four to forty eight hours. I think this has gone from a six month's breakout to timeframe to two years, so an eighteen month or two year delay in their program. But here's the thing. They

have also lost other capabilities. They've lost their command and control, they've lost military leaders, they've lost scientists, and they lost their conversion so they're clearly weakened. And lastly, Israel has proven that they have an intelligence caivability inside Iran that if they tried to reconstitute we'll we the United States, Israel, other European allies will know about it.
