CryptoWorld News reports that U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that recent hostilities have not significantly impacted Iran's nuclear program. Three informed sources revealed that since last summer, the time required for Iran to develop nuclear weapons has not changed. Analysts previously estimated that joint U.S.-Israeli strikes had delayed this timeline by up to a year. To effectively prevent Iran's nuclear ambitions, it may be necessary to destroy or remove Iran's remaining stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU). U.S. intelligence agencies concluded as early as June last year, before the outbreak of hostilities, that Iran was likely to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for nuclear weapons within 3 to 6 months, and after the June airstrikes, this timeline was pushed back to approximately 9 months to a year.
