Domestic damage assessment given to Iran leadership downplayed – Axios

Jun 25, 2025, 22:28 GMT+1Updated: 01:36 GMT+1

Intercepted communications suggest that Iranian military leaders have been misrepresenting the scale of destruction to the country’s political leadership, Axios reported Wednesday citing Israeli officials, who described damage to the nuclear sites as very significant.

"The Iranians themselves still do not have a clear understanding of what has happened to some of their nuclear facilities,” one of the sources said.

The above-ground enrichment facilities in Natanz have been completely destroyed, Axios cited another Israeli official as saying, and there are indications that the underground infrastructure at this site has also collapsed.
