The White House weighs on the leak of the preliminary assessment of Iranian strikes

Those who have disclosed a preliminary assessment – rejected by the White House – on American strikes on Iranian nuclear installations will face justice to share the document, according to the press secretary of the White House, Karoline Leavitt.

President Donald Trump and several leaders say that strikes have destroyed three Iranian nuclear sites.

A disclosed report of the Defense Intelligence Agency, published by CNN and the New York Times, has doubted doubt about it, affirming that strikes only withdraw the nuclear program of Iran of several months. CNN first pointed out the evaluation conclusions, citing seven people who were informed of the report. The point of sale reported that the results were based on an assessment of the battle damage of the central American order.

Leavitt rejected the credibility of the early evaluation, saying that the report was “to downright erroneous”.

“Everyone knows what is happening when you put 14 bombs of 30,000 pounds perfectly on their targets: total obliteration,” Leavitt said in a Tuesday statement.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the FBI is investigating to go to the bottom of the issue and sharing the document with the media.

In addition, Leavitt told journalists that classified information leak is a criminal offense and that those who did not follow the law “must be held responsible for this crime”.

“This administration wants to ensure that classified information is not found in irresponsible hands and that people who have the privilege of seeing this top secret classified information is responsible,” Leavitt told journalists on Thursday.

“Obviously, someone who had their hands on this and it was very few people, very few people in our government who saw this report,” said Leavitt. “This person was irresponsible. And we have to go to the bottom. And we have to strengthen this process to protect our national security and protect the American public.”

Meanwhile, the United States, the United States and Iran Ministry of Foreign Affairs have all said that the three nuclear sites that US forces have been struck had undergone massive damage.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei told Al Jazeera on Wednesday that the country’s nuclear installations were “seriously damaged”, and the Israeli atomic energy committee said that the American strikes were “devastating”.

On Sunday, the president of the chiefs of joint staff, General Dan Caine, said that the first evaluations of battle damages suggest that “the three sites suffered from extremely serious damage and destruction”.

Trump issued a word of prudence to Iran on Wednesday, if he tried to repair his nuclear program once again and said that the United States would not hesitate to launch another strike against Iran.

Trump personally called to the dismissal of one of the journalists who wrote the history of the initial evaluation, affirming in a social position on Wednesday that the journalist should be “immediately reprimanded, then thrown” like a dog “.”

Despite this, CNN came to the defense of the journalist, Natasha Bertrand.

“We are 100% behind the journalism of Natasha Bertrand and in particular to her and her colleagues the report of the evaluation of early information of the American attack on Iranian nuclear installations,” CNN said in a statement on Wednesday. “CNN reports have clearly indicated that it was an initial conclusion that could change with additional information. We have largely covered the deep skepticism of President Trump on this subject.”
