As we've been reporting, an early Pentagon intelligence assessment of the US's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities says it did not destroy the country's nuclear programme and probably only set it back "a few months, tops".
Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was not eliminated in Saturday's bombings, sources familiar with the Defense Intelligence Agency evaluation tell the BBC's US partner CBS.
Iran's centrifuges are largely "intact" and the impact of the strikes was limited to aboveground structures, sources add.
The White House has called the assessment "flat-out wrong", and says it was leaked by "a low-level loser in the intelligence community".
Speaking onboard Air Force One earlier, US President Donald Trump said all three nuclear sites in Iran were hit "perfectly" and destroyed, and that the US media reports are "very disrespectful" to those who carried out the strikes.
