Commentary

The aftermath of the recent military strikes on Iran’s Fordo nuclear site has ignited a spirited debate over the actual extent of the damage inflicted. In a twist that only the media could conjure, CNN has donned the mantle of “Battle Damage Assessor”—a title that seems as credible as a “Sniper Profiler” during the 2002 Washington D.C. sniper spree, where a plethora of self-proclaimed experts muddied the waters with their dubious analyses.

CNN shared its assessment of the situation:

“According to an early US intelligence evaluation described by seven sources, the recent US military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities did not obliterate the core components of the country’s nuclear program, and instead merely delayed it by months, as per the Defense Intelligence Agency’s assessment following the strikes.”

CNN elaborated:

“Some sources indicated that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium remains intact, with centrifuges largely unharmed. Moreover, one source mentioned that enriched uranium had been relocated from the sites prior to the airstrikes.”

“The DIA’s conclusion is that the US merely set them back a few months at best,” one source added.

In a fiery rebuttal, Karoline Leavitt unleashed her critique of CNN’s report:

“This so-called assessment is utterly incorrect, originating from an anonymous source within the intelligence community. This leak appears to be a deliberate effort to tarnish President Trump’s reputation and undermine the valiant pilots who executed a mission purported to decimate Iran’s nuclear capabilities. It’s common knowledge that when you drop fourteen 30,000-pound bombs on targets, you achieve total destruction.”

Several concerns arise regarding CNN’s self-proclaimed role as the arbiter of truth in Battle Damage Assessment:

First, CNN claims to have consulted two individuals familiar with the DIA report. I’m skeptical that these sources actually exist or have direct knowledge of the DIA’s findings. Vague whispers overheard in a Pentagon café hardly constitute credible testimony.

Second, the specter of Deep State leaks looms large. The need for investigative journalist James O’Keefe is palpable, especially as traditional counter-intelligence measures seem mired in ineffectiveness. For instance, when the Israelis reluctantly shared their attack strategies against Iran with the Biden administration, crucial details were swiftly leaked to Tehran by a CIA officer who failed a polygraph test and now serves time in prison. Clearly, the current counter-intelligence framework needs a serious overhaul.

Third, the nomination of George Wesley Street as the Counter-Intelligence Executive for the Director of National Intelligence remains stalled in the Senate. This position is crucial for reforming the counter-intelligence community and enhancing its efficacy.

Fourth, it’s ironic that legacy media like CNN previously downplayed the existence of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, only to now suggest that something nonexistent has not been destroyed. The logic here is baffling.

Meanwhile, as President Trump basked in the accolades of NATO leaders advocating for increased defense spending, the White House issued a strong rebuttal to CNN’s narrative, asserting that the Iranian nuclear program had indeed suffered a significant blow:

“Vice President JD Vance: “I assure the American people that Iran is much further from achieving a nuclear capability today than they were just 24 hours ago. The objective was to dismantle the Fordow site, and we are confident that we have substantially delayed their nuclear ambitions.”

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: “From what I have observed—having seen it all—our bombing campaign has effectively obliterated Iran’s nuclear weapon production capabilities. The precision of our strikes was impeccable, and any assertions to the contrary are simply attempts to undermine the success of the mission.”

Secretary Hegseth: “Given the magnitude of the explosions involved, total devastation was achieved at Fordow. Any conflicting assessment is merely speculative and serves other interests.”

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan “Razin” Caine: “Initial assessments indicate that all three targeted sites sustained catastrophic damage. This operation involved over 125 US aircraft, including B2 stealth bombers and a wide array of supporting aircraft.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “The current state of the Iranian nuclear program is drastically different from just a week ago. The narrative being circulated is misleading and does not reflect the reality on the ground.”

A report from an expert on underground nuclear testing succinctly stated that whatever existed at Fordow is now entombed, incinerated, or otherwise rendered unusable. Once again, it seems President Trump has outperformed expectations—perhaps even surpassing the accuracy of some media pundits.
