US strikes on Iran nuclear sites less damaging than expected, intercepts reveal

Intercepted communications between senior Iranian officials, obtained by the U.S. and reported by the Washington Post, suggest that last weekend’s U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites were less damaging than expected.

The conversations reveal surprise within the Iranian government over the limited scope of the attacks ordered by President Donald Trump. The relatively restrained impact has sparked concern within the U.S. administration that Iran’s nuclear program may soon resume.

The White House has not disputed the authenticity of the intercepted discussions.
