The U.S. Director of the National Intelligence contradicted one of Trump's key justifications for going to war against Iran.
The US has sent Iran a 15-point plan and cease-fire proposal to end the war in the Middle East — and President Trump claims the regime has already agreed to a critical part of the peace framework: No nuclear weapons.
UN nuclear chief says Iran's nuclear program cannot be eliminated by airstrikes alone, with uranium stockpiles and underground facilities remaining intact.
International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said Iran's nuclear program is heavily damaged, "but the material will still be there and the enrichment capacities will be there."
For decades, Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been a source of concern for the US and its allies. The fear is that Tehran could eventually build an atomic weapon, an eventuality that Israel views as an existential threat.

Israel wants to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. But should it have nuclear weapons itself?
Israel’s avowed goal in the Middle East war is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Yet, the double standard associated with this is hardly sustainable in the long run.

NPR's Scott Simon speaks to Ariane Tabatabai, the Public Service Fellow at Lawfare, about the nature of Iran's nuclear program, and whether it, as President Trump has said, posed an "imminent threat."
The United Nations' top nuclear watchdog, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi, told CBS News that Iran still has the technical ability to restart its nuclear program, even though U.S. military strikes dented the program.
