GOP senators accuse media of trying to ‘undermine Trump’ with reporting on leaked Iran damage report

Fox News Digital said that after obtaining an intelligence report, he completed the air strikes authorized by President Donald Trump against Iranian nuclear establishments, they believe that the initial reports that were leaked reduce the damage was inaccurate and political motives.

“senator Ted Cruz, R-TEXAS, said that the leaked intelligence report was not accurate, and given the 14 bombs that were dropped on the Iranian nuclear weapons facility, I think clear evidence is that the damage was overwhelming.

In response to the reason for many media outlets, he told the leaked story, he told the Fox News Digital that “it is clear that there is a political agenda in play.”

Earlier this week, CNN, referring to the persons familiar with the evaluation, stated that the early consensus within the Defense Intelligence Agency is that the strikes in Ford, Natans and Safhan did not destroy the main components of the Iranian nuclear program and do not destroy its highly fertilized uranium store.

Trump says of the administration’s progress in peace deals, world leaders say, “They respect our country again.”

the I mentioned the port also The strike is likely to restore Iran’s nuclear program for several months, not years, as described by the Trump administration.

Trump and Defense Minister Beit Higseth withdrew against the media, “Fake News”, during a NATO press conference to doubt that the strike in the United States is on the country’s nuclear program.

“A statement came from the Atomic Energy Committee in Israel,” Trump said at a press conference on Wednesday from The Hague while concluding his journey at the NATO summit in the Netherlands. “They are very serious people, as you know.”

“The destroyed American strike on Fordo has destroyed the critical infrastructure of the site and made the enrichment facility completely inactive,” Trump read the message. “We have been destroyed. We assessed that the American strikes on Iranian nuclear establishments have restored Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years. This achievement could continue indefinitely if Iran could not reach nuclear materials.”

Senate members received a secret intelligence briefing on strikes from senior national security officials on Thursday.

Senator Josh Holie, R-Mo, Fox News Digital told the broader reports of the leak report was “an attempt to undermine Trump, of course.”

“Listen, we walked this in a briefing, without entering into things that I should not talk about. “Basically, this is not an accurate picture, and it was not intended to be so, what they were quoting from it was not in fact a complete intelligence report; it was closer to early evaluation, guessing early evaluation. So, without saying more, it was basically the distortion.”

“And the thing is,” continued, “Any reporter covers the Pentagon and covers national security, they will know this. So, I must say, a kind of bad faith, I think, by our correspondent friends in the liberal media who are only trying to undermine the president.”

Meanwhile, at least one member was a happy democratic of what was said during the briefing.

Senator Jin Shaheen, DN.H. “Most of my questions have been answered. I think it was a good briefing.” “I think that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. We hope this has greatly restored this program. In the end, we will see them go to the negotiating table, because this is the real solution in the long run.”

While many Democrats called the strikes an unconstitutional step by the president, Shaheen said: “It was a limited strike, content,” and “I think that if the Iranian nuclear program greatly regained – then its initial reports – this is a good thing.”

However, other Democratic Senate members are still not bothering the briefing.

Senator Chris Van Holin, a doctorate in medicine, told Fox News Digitter that the briefing “did not change” his previous evaluation that the strikes were “a clear violation of our constitution” and that “Trump reaches once again the Americans by integrating the United States directly into this conflict.”

Senator Tim Kane, D-FO, told the Fox News Digital that briefing “I did not change my point of view, but I think I prefer to leave it there, because it is classified. “

Senator Chris Konz, De Del, was more mysterious about whether his opinion had been changed.

“I can’t tell you what I learned in a secret surrounding. Konz said: “I cannot tell you that it was destroyed, we do not yet have a complete and complete picture of the deteriorating or destroyed capabilities and what additional risks that we may face or decisions that the Iranian regime may make,” Konz said.
