Controversy Erupts Over U.S. Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Sites

This assessment contradicts claims by President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who insisted the strikes had obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities.

The situation remains contentious, with notable disagreements among U.S. officials on the true impact of the strikes, as classified briefings for Congress were abruptly canceled.
