Nicolas Lerner, the head of France's foreign intelligence service, revealed on Tuesday that American and Israeli air strikes have demolished parts of Iran's highly enriched uranium reserves.

During an interview on LCI television, Lerner stated the strikes have delayed Iran's nuclear program by months.

Despite having some indications of uranium stock locations, Lerner emphasized that certainty will only be achieved once UN inspectors return to Iran.
