According to multiple news sources, the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear laboratories and enrichment areas were not completely destroyed. And according to this information, the latest damage inflicted by the U.S. has only set it back a few months.
Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was not completely eliminated in the bombings.
The White House claims the initial damage assessment was completely wrong, and it was a clear attempt to demean President Trump. The White House still claims the air strikes completely annihilated Iran's nuclear enrichment laboratory.
Per the BBC:
In the hours that followed the Saturday strikes, Gen Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, told reporters that it would take time to assess the damage done to the facilities.
But he added that "all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction." Satellite images showed six fresh craters clustered around two entry points at the Fordo nuclear sites, as well as grey dust and debris.
It is unclear from the images, however, how much damage the sites sustained below the surface.
Hassan Abedini, the deputy political director of Iran's state broadcaster, claimed the three sites targeted by the US had been evacuated a "while ago", and that Iran "didn't suffer a major blow because the materials had already been taken out".
There really is no way to know if all the nuclear materials were struck by the bombs, until you have someone actually verify if that's all they have.
Since Iran was working closely with Russia, one could assume they had multiple hiding places outside of the bunkers to store this nuclear material.
Because it's so dangerous to handle, you'd think it would be stored underground, or deep in a lake.
Time will tell.
