Top Trump administration officials will brief senators today on the U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear enrichment sites, but Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will not be among them. CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who will be among those giving the briefing, said yesterday that Iran's sites were "severely damaged."

President Donald Trump insisted Wednesday that U.S. strikes delivered a crushing blow to Iran’s nuclear program despite a preliminary American intelligence assessment suggesting that the assault inflicted only a marginal setback.

U.S. President Donald Trump compared the impact of American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to the end of World War Two on Wednesday, arguing that the damage was severe even though available intelligence reports were inconclusive.
