U.S. military strikes have set back Iran’s nuclear program by an estimated one to two years, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said at a briefing.

According to Parnell, U.S. intelligence confirmed the destruction of three key nuclear facilities inside Iran.

Earlier, on June 22, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kane told reporters the operations had “crippled” Iran’s nuclear program.
