Iran “won't be making bombs for a long time”, says Donald Trump

On the sidelines of the Nato summit in The Hague, Donald Trump assured that the truce between Iran and Israel was “going very well” and that Iran's nuclear program had been delayed by “decades”. For its part, Israel says it is “still early” to assess the damage.
The ceasefire between Iran and Israel “is going very well”, said US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Nato summit in The Hague on Wednesday.
The ceasefire between Iran and Israel is now “in force”, he announced on Tuesday, shortly after accusing both countries, and particularly his Israeli ally, of violating it. The two countries “don't know what the hell they're doing”, he said before flying to The Hague.
Donald Trump also said on Wednesday that Iran's nuclear program had been delayed by “decades” as a result of the US strikes. He insisted on the “total” destruction of Iran's nuclear sites, asserting that the Iranians were “not going to make bombs for a long time”.
For its part, the Israeli army said it was “still early” to assess the damage caused to Iran's nuclear program. “It is still early to assess the results of the operation,” Israeli army spokesman Effie Defrin told a televised press conference.
“I think we have inflicted a heavy blow on the nuclear program, and I can also say that we have delayed it by several years,” the army spokesman further asserted.
According to US media reports, the country's intelligence services had concluded that the US strikes had only delayed Iran's nuclear program by a few months.
According to a preliminary report detailed by sources close to the case to these American media, the strikes did not completely eliminate Iran's centrifuges or stocks of enriched uranium.
Instead, they would have sealed the entrances to certain facilities without destroying the underground buildings.
Israel had declared that its offensive against Iran, which began on June 13, was aimed at preventing the country from acquiring nuclear weapons, an ambition Teheran has always denied.
Hailing a “historic victory”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an address broadcast after the ceasefire that Israel had “wiped out the Iranian nuclear project”.
