00:00The United States president says that the Iranian nuclear program has been obliterated.
00:07Not everyone in the U.S. intelligence sort of world seems to agree with that.
00:12I'm wondering what Israel's assessment is.
00:15Is Israel convinced that that nuclear program has been stopped in its tracks?
00:21Well, I think the first of all, we're talking about the American intelligence assessment.
00:28There was an early assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon, which was assessed at a low level of confidence.
00:38So even they weren't very confident in what they were saying.
00:41And I must say I was quite surprised that they came out with that quite as quickly as they did, because the bombs had barely stopped falling.
00:50And it was clear that they didn't yet have significant BDA bomb damage assessment.
00:57And, you know, frankly, it'll probably take weeks before we really know in detail what happened there.
01:04So I'm less concerned about that.
01:06And it's come out today in public that the Israel Atomic Energy Committee assesses that the Ford plant was, the enrichment plant was hit very hard and that it will have set the program back by a good number of years.
01:23And there have been other press reports in Israel saying that the Israeli assessment is two years.
01:28And so, you know, it's been a lot of press photos for the hermanos.
01:38It's a huge surge of things that have been hard.
01:40If you realize that there is sort of a quantification that was just a recovery happening there, it happens it happens.
01:45Other people at Holy Spirit shouldn't be able to maintain a maybe one year or a temporary pandemic.
