[Regnum] The US administration intends to restrict access to classified information to the US Congress in the wake of a data leak that showed that the US military's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities was not as successful as White House chief Donald Trump claimed. This was reported on June 25 by the Axios portal.
"The leak of the Defense Intelligence Agency's preliminary 'Battle Damage Assessment' has angered the president and top U.S. officials, who said it was incomplete and intended to undermine Trump's claims that Iran's nuclear facilities had been 'destroyed,' " the article explains.
"purported to show". It was a low-confidence report not verified with other agencies. A political hack job
The "estimate" in question was posted to CAPNET, a system used to send classified information to Congress, on the evening of June 23. The following day, CNN and The New York Times published the data from the material. Trump was outraged by the publication.
The FBI is investigating the circumstances of the leak of classified information. At the same time, they are working on how to tighten control over information in order to prevent such leaks in the future.
It is noted that Trump has been suspicious of the intelligence community since his first presidency, and the situation played into the hands of his suspicion.
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that US President Trump's triumph at the NATO summit in The Hague was disrupted by the leak of a US intelligence report that the damage done to Iran's nuclear program was insignificant.
On June 24, American media, citing a report by the Pentagon Intelligence Agency, stated that the US Air Force bomber strikes on three sites Washington links to Iran's nuclear program had not destroyed them. It was noted that the main components of the alleged Iranian nuclear program had been preserved and the US attacks had only delayed its development by several months.
The White House denied these statements, and the US President's special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, called the leak of this kind of information treason, calling for an investigation into the fact.
Trump himself said on June 25 that CNN and the New York Times were trying to discredit the US military strikes on Iran with such statements. According to him, Iran's alleged nuclear facilities were completely destroyed.

US National Intelligence Chief Assesses Scale of Destruction of Iran's Nuclear Facilities
The restoration of Iran's nuclear facilities after US airstrikes will take many years; they will have to be built from scratch. This statement was made by US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on the social network X.
"If Iran decides to rebuild the lost sites, they will have to build all three from scratch, which will take years," Gabbard wrote.
She added that the nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan, according to updated US intelligence estimates, have been completely destroyed.
As Gabbard explained, media reports about the partial nature of the destruction are based on “leaks of classified information with a low level of reliability.” According to her, the press thus attempted to discredit the decisions of US President Donald Trump and the actions of the US military.
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that US President Trump demanded that the American television channel CNN fire journalist Natasha Bertrand “like a dog” when she stated in her coverage of national security issues that the US Air Force did not destroy nuclear program facilities during its strikes on Iran.
