Democrats in the Senate ask about the “blur” of Iranian nuclear sites after being ranked about the strikes

Washington – Some Democrats in the Senate cast suspicions in describing the Trump administration of strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities after senior officials of the Senate were briefed on Thursday.

In recent days, President Trump has repeatedly declared “the possibility of projection” after the bombing of three nuclear sites in a secret attack by the United States, The first classified evaluation I found that the strikes that were exposed to the Tehran nuclear program within months, while Mr. Trump said that the nuclear program had been appointed “basically decades.”

Democrats questioned the assurances related to the amount of the Iranian nuclear program.

“I move away from this briefing, which is still under the belief that we have not blurred the program,” Senator Chris Murphy, a democratic in Connecticut, told reporters. “The president was deliberately misleading when he said the program had been blocked. It is certain that there is still a great ability, important equipment that still exists.”

Murphy added: “You cannot bomb knowledge of existence – regardless of the number of scientists you kill.” “There are still people in Iran how centrifugal devices work. If they still have been a lot of uranium and still have the ability to use centrifuges, you do not return the program in the years. You are returning the program months.”

Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the largest democracy in the Senate Intelligence Committee, suggested that the administration jumped to a very early conclusion.

“Listen, I hope this is the final evaluation,” Warner said. “But if it is not the case, does this end with a false sense of comfort for the American people?”

The majority leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer, a democratic in New York, said he had not received sufficient answers about whether the nuclear stock was blurred.

“What was clear was that there was no coherent strategy, no end game, no plan, no specific plan, no detailed plan on how Iran achieved a nuclear weapon,” Schumer said.

Democratic Senator Richard Blumentel from Connecticut said that the evaluation of the damage of the final battle only confirms the assurances “would enable us to be comfortable or satisfied with what has been done.”

“The important point is that we do not know. Anyone says that we know with certainty that he makes because we do not have a final evaluation of the damage of the battle,” he said. “I think” blur “is very strong from the words because it means that it cannot be reshaped or completely eliminated.”

However, Blumentel praised the military action as “a line that will decrease in the records of military history.”

“Certainly, this task was as successful as it was widely destroyed and may have been severely damaged and the Iranian nuclear weapons program declined. But how long and how long the intelligence community itself is,” he said.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham stood from South Carolina behind the description of the administration, but he admitted that he could eventually restore Iran’s capabilities.

“The real question is, have their desire to obtain a nuclear weapon,” Graham said after a press conference. “I do not want people to think that the site was not affected or strongly blurred. It was. But after I said that, I do not want people to think that the problem has ended, because it is not.”

Graham said he believed the program had been exposed for years. Republican Senator Kevin Kramer of North Dakota said he was confident of “he was appointed on the way – at least in the road.”

Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the strikes “have effectively destroyed the Iranian nuclear program.” Koton added that the initial evaluation contains many intelligence gaps and “assumed the worst scenario with perfect conditions in Iran.”

Senior intelligence officials He said Wednesday This new intelligence showed that the nuclear program was “severely damaged” and his facilities were taken.

Ratcliffe was among those who briefed the members of the Senate on Thursday, along with the Foreign Minister and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kane.

The briefing was initially briefed on Tuesday, but was two days late, which disturbed some Democrats who demanded immediate transparency about strikes after they initially left in the dark about military action.
