U.S. intelligence assessments suggest that President Donald Trump’s war in Iran has done little to slow the country’s nuclear capabilities, according to a report. Ensuring that Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon was one of the key objectives laid out by Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the beginning of the war, which started on February 28. Two months on, Tehran’s nuclear program remains broadly unchanged since last year’s U.S. attack, according to Reuters news agency, citing intelligence sources familiar with the matter. The Trump administration’s Operation Midnight Hammer campaign in June 2025 pushed the timeline of the country’s nuclear capabilities back by nine months to a year, and it remains broadly unchanged now as the U.S. military has largely avoided striking nuclear targets this time, according to Reuters. Before last year’s 12-day war, U.S. intelligence agencies estimated that Iran could produce enough bomb-grade uranium to build a bomb in around three to six months, according to the outlet.
