The head of the UN nuclear watchdog said that Iran could resume uranium enrichment "within months."

Gate News bot news, according to CNN, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog stated that the US strikes against Iran have not completely destroyed its nuclear program, and Tehran may resume uranium enrichment activities "within months," which contradicts President Donald Trump's claim that the US has pushed Tehran's nuclear program back by decades.

Rafael Grossi's comments seem to support an earlier assessment by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency, which was first reported by CNN, indicating that last week's U.S. attack on Iran's major nuclear facilities did not destroy the core components of its nuclear program and may only delay its nuclear program by a few months.

Although the final military and intelligence assessments have yet to be released, Trump has repeatedly claimed that he has "completely destroyed" Tehran's nuclear program.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, which has lasted for 12 days, began earlier this month when Israel launched an unprecedented attack, claiming its aim was to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Before the ceasefire began, the United States struck three key nuclear facilities in Iran. The extent of the damage to Tehran's nuclear program has since been a subject of controversy.

U.S. military officials recently provided some new information regarding the attack plan, but did not offer any new evidence to prove the attack's effectiveness against Iran's nuclear program.

After this week's confidential briefing, Republican lawmakers acknowledged that the U.S. strikes may not have eliminated all of Iran's nuclear material, but they argued that this was never part of the military mission.

At the same time, The Washington Post reported on Sunday that the United States intercepted discussions among senior Iranian officials indicating that the destructive nature of the attack was not as severe as they had anticipated.
