‘If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities,’ the director of national intelligence said.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Wednesday that new intelligence has shown that U.S. strikes on Iran set back the country’s capacity to produce nuclear weapons, disputing a report that it would only give the regime a few months’ delay.

“New intelligence confirms what @POTUS has stated numerous times: Iran’s nuclear facilities have been destroyed. If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do,” Gabbard wrote in a post on X on Wednesday.
