RIMAP insisted that more evidence was needed. The final report is now available, and both RIMAP and A

news.ycombinator.com Natasha Bertrand 2025-09-17 19:04:21

CNN — The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it.
