Donald Trump remains defiant that Iran's nuclear programme has been "totally obliterated", despite a new intelligence report casting doubts over his claim.
Fears that Iran's nuclear programme could continue are running high, following a lack of solid evidence that America's strikes took out the country's uranium enrichment sites.
A new intelligence report from the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency stated the strikes did not destroy Tehran's nuclear programme, only setting it back by months.
The White House said the assessment is "flat-out wrong" and is "a clear attempt to demean" the President.

Posting on his Truth Social, Trump raged at CNN and the New York Times for their reporting.
He wrote in all caps: "Fake news CNN, together with the failing New York Times, have teamed up in an attempt to demean one of the most successful military strikes in history.
"The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed! Both the Times and CNN are getting slammed by the public!"
Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, dismissed the report, saying there is "no doubt" all three nuclear sites have been "obliterated".
He told Fox News: "It's outrageous, it's treasonous, and it has to be investigated. Whoever's responsible for it should be held accountable."
