00:00A day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Israel

00:06is claiming to have achieved historic success.

00:09Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that his country's 12-day campaign on Iran

00:14eliminated a wide array of threats that pose a grave risk to Israel's survival.

00:19The Israeli attacks, dubbed Operation Rising Lion, sought to destroy Iranian nuclear sites

00:24and disrupt its rapidly advancing nuclear program.

00:30That Iran will not be a nuclear weapon.

00:33And thus, in all the significant actions of our military forces, we moved to protect the

00:40nuclear nuclear project of Iran.

00:42And if someone, if someone in Iran will try to destroy this project, we will act in the same

00:48determination, in the same force, to destroy every decision like this.

00:53I said, Iran will not be a nuclear weapon.

00:58Trump, aboard Air Force One, en route to the NATO summit in The Hague, also echoed a similar

01:04sentiment.

01:05The U.S. President noted that the ceasefire remained solid as he resolutely ruled out

01:09any chance of Tehran possessing nuclear warheads.

01:12They're not going to have enrichment, and they're not going to have a nuclear weapon, and they

01:16don't.

01:16They're going to get on to being a great trading nation, and have a great good traders, and

01:22they're going to be a great trading nation.

01:24They have a lot of oil, they're going to do well, they're not going to have a nuclear weapon.

01:30A U.S. intelligence report released on Tuesday, however, suggested that U.S. strikes on Iran

01:40only set back its program by a few short months.

01:44A report released by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon's intelligence arm, detailed

01:50that most of the damage dealt to Iranian nuclear sites was limited to above-ground structures.

01:54The report also asserted that Iran's centrifuges, used to enrich uranium, appear to be largely

02:00intact.

02:01It's a stark contrast from Trump's Saturday night remarks, where he stated that Washington

02:05had completely obliterated Iran's nuclear program.

02:09The White House slammed the report as a, quote, clear attempt to demean Trump.

02:13White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called the report flat-out wrong, adding that everyone

02:18knows what happens when you drop 14 30,000-pound bombs.

02:24The White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt is a parcel of the UNVCR cooperated

02:28with a colonel.

02:29But the UNVCR is going to be very focused on the UNVCR sherrilous cameras, where is the UNVCR

02:30integrated, which means that the UNVCR operations are not only.

02:31The UNVCR for the UNVCR is going to work with each other.

02:32The UNVCR-S channel is related to the UNVCR, and the UNVCR.

02:33We have an UNVCR-S channel.

02:34One large number of hours are, where is it, where is the UNVCR?

02:35Well, the UNVCR, has been a large number of Earth-s for UNVCR, in the UNVCR?

02:36We have no wireline police because we have an UNVCR guide.

02:37And the UNVCR is going to be the UNVCR, and the UNVCR, and the UNVCR system is not
