In a statement on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the intelligence following the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, describing it as "very inconclusive." His comments, delivered before a NATO summit, sparked further debate over the clarity and implications of the intelligence reports.

"The intelligence was very inconclusive. The intelligence says we don't know. It could've been very severe. That's what the intelligence suggests," Trump told reporters, hinting at potential damage while acknowledging the uncertainty of the information available.
