IDF assesses Iran's nuclear program set back years, but 'too early' to know for sure
Israel’s military thinks the recent war with Iran has set the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program back by years, but the assessment is preliminary, and it is too early to know for sure, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Effi Defrin said Wednesday.
“We met all the objectives of the operation as defined for us, and even did so better than we had optimally expected,” Defrin said, but he cautioned: “I say this with humility, because it’s still too early to determine.”
“We are investigating and reviewing the results of our strikes on every part of this puzzle, as I’ve previously called it, the various components of the nuclear program and more,” he said.

Defrin’s comments echoed those of IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir on Tuesday night that, “We have set Iran’s nuclear project back by years, and the same goes for its missile program.”
