General Jack Keane told Fox News that the defense intelligence agency’s low confidence assessment that said Iran was not badly damaged had not even been reviewed.
“And look, the DIA report, it was a preliminary report that had never reached the president yet. It has to go through a process with all the intelligence agencies coming together, making an assessment, and then bring that conclusion to the president. That has been truncated by the leak, so that process hasn’t even been completed. And certainly the people reporting on it, the New York Times and CNN, are trying to take advantage of it.”
It probably would have never been brought to the president. It was not based on first hand intelligence. People who want to harm the president leaked it and if they are found they will be prosecuted. Some people think Israel leaked but Secretary Pete Hegseth is looking within.
Israelis told Jack Keane that they are the ones on the ground looking at the site and they believe Iran’s nuclear program has been set back at least two years if not longer.
“I think the evidence as it comes out will be quite overwhelming. I’ve been in contact with the Israelis, who are really the people on the ground taking a look at this, and they believe based on their preliminary assessment, because it’s the people on the ground that are going to make the most in-depth assessment of what has taken place here, and they haven’t completed their assessment. And they believe the program is set back at least two years, if not longer, based on what took place at those sites. And obviously, they hit all 12 sites before we hit the major underground facilities here.”
Two years isn’t enough, but it bides us time.

Lidar and InSAR will tell the real story and I’m anxious to see the pictures. I predict they will show the outline of the collapsed ‘bunkers’.
By golly, if super neocon Keane appears on the RIO Channel and says all went well, that must be true. You continue with the obsession that everything is perfect with actions against Iran. The DIA is the top intel organization that assesses these things. But to Keane, it’s a low confidence assessment. Keane wants to insert more red tape to… Read more »
According to Intel.gov, top secret intel does go through 17 intelligence agencies.
So glad you presented Iranian propaganda, so we know what the Iranian lies are all about.
Remember that CNN just got put on the chopping block. I’m certain they will not hesitate to pull hail mary stories out of the woodwork to try to save their own skins, hoping they can appear valuable enough to keep.
Remember that the DIA is the primary agency to report on this type of thing, and they did. I have no interest in the gibberish CNN puts out, nor do I want to whine about CNN. The subject here is the DIA report, which Keane was unable to discredit.
There is literally no possible way to assess actual damage without excavating the site which we will never do. Iran will never reveal what they find. Imaging will produce outlines. What possible motive exists to leak obvious incomplete data but to throw shade on Trump’s victory parade. Perhaps the President could have voiced a wait and see statement but that’s… Read more »
How come the DemoComs never have trouble with internal leaks, yet there are always plenty of traitors within Republican administrations.
How come Bondi has been presented lots of leakers, and not prosecuted one.
You know the answer…. Because the government is fully stocked with libs, who don’t hesitate to do any harm to Republicans and because Republicans follow laws.
