Even the left anchor MSNBC Joe Scarborough is pouring cold water in reports suggesting American air strikes in Iran only place its nuclear facilities again for several months – suggesting that the main media may be “played” by the intelligence community.
“We … we have to be careful to play people within the Intel community who want to get their message,” Scarborough in Morning Joe said.
Scarborough’s comments follow a preliminary assessment of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) discovered in CNN and the New York Times claiming that the damage done to Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend was less than what President Trump estimated as a tremendous success.
The report also claimed that many of Iran’s enriched uranium reserves moved from facilities before the attacks.
Scarborough Nodhi Some past reports based on the flows that were blown up from proportion, noticing a bomb report in the New York Times during the first TRUMU term claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin was paying the Taliban -linked militants to kill US troops in Afghanistan.
“This has happened a lot, a lot happened in Iraq. Many happened in Afghanistan,” Scarborough said. “I’m not saying it’s happening here, but I remember in Trump’s latest term, the New York Times runs a story on the front page, someone from the Intel community said Vladimir Putin was paying hits against American troops in Afghanistan. Everyone ran with him,” the former Republican said.
“That is why waiting to see what happens, in fact, and not to draw many conclusions makes sense. And, of course, not only is the best practice for the White House and the President, this is the best practice for the media as well.”
Trump administration officials also jumped against the report.
“This” alleged “rating is wrong and classified as the ‘high secret’, but was still discovered in CNN by an anonymous loser, of the low -level intelligence community,” White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt said in response to the flow.
“The flow of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to damage President Trump and discredit Brave Fighter pilots who carry out a perfectly executed mission to destroy Iran’s nuclear program,” she added.
Trump claimed that Israel had sent agents to Iran’s bombed nuclear countries to confirm their “total disappearance” – and compared the attack with the American Nuka of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan at the end of World War II.
Trump reaffirmed on Wednesday his earlier claims that the attacks were a massive success.
At a NATO summit in The Hague, he said the strikes led to the “virtual destruction” of Iran’s nuclear skills and turned his “decades” program.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was also at the summit, added that the preliminary report was made with “low faith” and that the flow was under the FBI investigation.
