Your guide to what the second period of Trump means to Washington, business and the world

Ayatollah Ali Khameneini said that the American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites “did not achieve anything” and that Donald Trump “is exaggerated” its influence.

Notes come amid conflicting accounts of the extent of damage to Iranian nuclear facilities from the American bombing during the weekend. American forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites, as the American president claimed that the attacks were “blurring” the accompanying.

But in a video message on Thursday, Khamnai, the final decision maker of Iran, said that Trump is “exaggerated because he needs.”

“Anyone who heard his statements can say that there is a different fact behind his words-he could not do anything,” said 86-year-old leader, in his first public comments since the ceasefire with Israel this week.

Hameti was talking about proven speculation about the obstruction of the American attack from the nuclear program.

On Tuesday, the President of Iran, Masoud Bezishian, said that “the enemy of the aggressor failed” to destroy nuclear sites. On the same day, the US intelligence report suggested that the strikes had only returned the Tehran nuclear program a few months ago.

But on Wednesday, CIA director John Ratcliffe, appointing Trump, said that the intelligence indicated that the Iranian nuclear program was “severely damaged” and will need to be rebuilt “over the years.”

His comments followed the media reports of an evaluation of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, which estimated the bombing, has regained the Iranian nuclear program for less than six months.

On Thursday, US Defense Minister Beit Higseth criticized the media for focusing on the Dia report, which later confirmed the Military Intelligence Agency was “a low -confident initial assessment.”

At a joint press conference with General Dan Kane, US President of the Joint Presidents, Higseth said the first reports are always wrong, “and the media criticized her report on” biased leaks. ”

But Higseth and Kane did not provide new evidence to support Trump’s allegations that Iran’s nuclear site in Ford was “blocked”. They referred questions about damage assessments to the CIA and other US intelligence agencies.

When asked if he agreed with the claim that the nuclear program had been “blocked”, Kane said that his role was not to conduct assessments of the battle damage and refer it again to the intelligence community.

“The Iranian nuclear program” suffered from tremendous damage “, although he said that its full destruction allegations were exaggerated.

Khamanni’s lengthy absence from public opinion sparked speculation about his safety. Israel has targeted high -ranking Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists in the early stages of the conflict for 12 days.

The last conflict was the first time since he took power in 1989 that my crude was hid during the war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not rule out the targeting of my crude directly during the campaign, until he called the Iranians to increase the system change.

Trump insisted that the United States knew exactly where my crude was present during the war, but added that a decision to eliminate it was not taken.
