White House flays CNN for claim Iran-attack damage was minimal

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is rebuking CNN after the network ran a story based on “leaked” sources claiming that the damage the U.S. attack on Iran inflicted over the weekend only set Tehran’s nuclear ambitions behind by “a few month.”

CNN reported Tuesday that three sources indicate the attack Saturday “did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months.”

The network claims the information was based on a bombing assessment report done by the Defense Intelligence Agency after the strikes.
