The White House slammed a Wednesday report by Bloomberg that claimed Iran was a greater risk of obtaining a nuclear weapon than it was before the 2025 strikes destroyed Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure.
“Iran’s nuclear facilities were obliterated during Operation Midnight Hammer, and the conventional shield intended to protect their nuclear program – comprised of their ballistic missiles, production facilities, and navy – is gone,” White House deputy spokeswoman Anna Kelly told The Post.
“Suggesting that Iran can more capably produce a nuclear weapon with no functioning nuclear enrichment facilities or military defenses is an indescribably stupid analysis by Bloomberg, which we would have shared had they reached out to us for comment,” she added.
The Bloomberg report claimed Iran was at a greater risk of secretly developing a nuclear weapon since the international nuclear monitoring agency IAEA can no longer inspect the enriched uranium once held in the destroyed facilities.
