Donald Trump launches a harsh attack on the media over reports on the effectiveness of the bombing in Iran.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused CNN and The New York Times of trying to distort the "success" of the bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities by leaking an intelligence report that said the country's nuclear program was only delayed by a few months.

"Fake News CNN, along with the failing New York Times , have teamed up to try to downgrade one of the most successful military attacks in history. Iran's nuclear facilities are completely destroyed ," he said in a message written all in capital letters and posted on his network, Truth Social.

According to the Republican leader, who is in The Hague to participate in the NATO summit, both the network and the newspaper are being "devastated" by the public.

The Republican later insisted in statements in The Hague that "the last thing they want to do now is enrich themselves; they want to recover" after the attack, although he also warned that Washington "won't allow it" either.

Trump called the US bombing a "tremendous victory" and "a tremendous blow" and asserted that the Iranians "are not going to have a bomb, and they are not going to enrich" uranium in the coming period.

The preliminary US intelligence analysis, reported by both media outlets, suggested that Iran's nuclear program has only been set back a few months following the weekend offensive against the facilities in Isfahan, Natanz, and Ford.

The document adds that the US bombings destroyed only a small portion of the nuclear material because most of Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles were moved before the offensive.

According to people familiar with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report, cited by media outlets, the attacks did not completely eliminate Tehran's centrifuges or enriched uranium stockpiles.

Instead, they blocked the entrances to some plants, without destroying the underground facilities, according to the report.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it was still "too early" to identify damage to Iran's nuclear program, a day after a ceasefire ended 12 days of war between Israel and Iran.

" It is still too early to assess the results of the operation," Israeli army spokeswoman Effie Defrin said in a televised press conference.

"I think we dealt a serious blow to the nuclear program, and I can also say that we set it back several years," the spokesperson added.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff had spoken out throughout the day to deny this analysis.

"Anyone who says the bombs weren't devastating is only trying to undermine the president and the success of the mission," Hegseth said, for example, while Witkoff called the leak a "betrayal" and called for an investigation to hold its author accountable.

For its part, returning to Iran's nuclear facilities is the IAEA's "number one priority," said the UN nuclear agency's director general, Rafael Grossi.

Speaking to the press in Vienna, the Argentine diplomat recalled that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi sent him a letter on June 13, when the Israeli bombings began, stating that "protective measures had already been taken."

"They didn't go into detail about what that meant, but that was clearly the implied meaning," Grossi added, when asked if the Iranians were referring to the stockpile of 408 kilograms of highly enriched uranium (60%).

The whereabouts of this material, which is very close to the level of purity needed to build several nuclear bombs , is one of the great unknowns following the bombings.

"At the same time, we have said that we need to return (to the Iranian facilities) and engage. Yesterday, I wrote a letter to Araqchi saying: let's meet to discuss the modalities," the IAEA Director General explained.

The UN nuclear agency has had a permanent presence with inspectors in Iran for more than a decade.
