President Trump plans to limit sending classified information to Congress after an intel assessment of the Iran bombing damage was leaked, according to a news report Thursday.
Media outlets reported Tuesday that the Defense Intelligence Agency assessed that the U.S. strikes that hit Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday had only set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few months and that Iran had moved much of its enriched uranium before the strikes.
Trump and his administration repeatedly downplayed the leaked intelligence report on Wednesday. And on Thursday morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced since-released reports, including one from the CIA that stated Iran’s nuclear program has been “severely damaged.”
“The intelligence was … very inconclusive,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday in The Hague while meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Reuters reported.
A senior White House official told Axios on Wednesday: “We are declaring a war on leakers.”
