US Intelligence Confirms Iran Hasn’t Rebuilt Nuclear Enrichment Since 2025 Strike
US intelligence finds that Iran has made no effort to restore its nuclear enrichment capabilities destroyed in the 2025 “Operation Midnight Hammer” strike by the US and Israel. This assessment, disclosed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in a written threat report to the Senate, directly contradicts former President Trump’s claims. Gabbard wrote that the 2025 strike obliterated Iran’s enrichment programme and that she saw no signs of rebuilding. She did not repeat this point during her oral testimony due to time constraints, but she did not dispute the written findings when pressed by senators. President Trump has insisted the February 28 attack was necessary because of an imminent nuclear threat and that Iran was close to developing a bomb. Most analysts disagree, noting ongoing diplomatic talks. A senior aide to Gabbard resigned, arguing there was no imminent threat and suggesting intelligence had been misinterpreted. The US intelligence community assesses that Iran’s nuclear infrastructure is weakened but still intact. It may attempt a long-term rebuild of its military capabilities, including missile and drone programmes.
