Trump said a preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment of the damage on Iranian nuclear facilities was inconclusive, but said he continues to believe it was severe.

Former President Donald Trump has made statements regarding damage to Iranian nuclear facilities, especially in the context of alleged Israeli or U.S. Actions targeting those sites. In some instances, he has indicated that preliminary U.S. Intelligence assessments were inconclusive about the extent of the damage but maintained his personal belief that the damage was severe. This aligns with his tendency to express confidence in the effectiveness of such operations even when official intelligence assessments do not provide definitive conclusions. However, without a direct quote or specific event reference, it is difficult to fully verify the exact wording or context of the claim.

Sources: Based on general knowledge of Trump's public statements and media coverage of Iranian nuclear site incidents.
