After the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency contradicted Trump, it stated that its assessment is preliminary and of low credibility.

Jin10 reported on June 26 that on June 25 local time, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency stated in a report that its assessment of the military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities was preliminary and of low confidence, rather than a final conclusion, and that the assessment would be refined as more intelligence became available. The statement noted that it is still impossible to review the actual Iranian nuclear facilities that were attacked, and that a physical examination of the attacked locations would provide the best information. The Defense Intelligence Agency stated that it is working with the FBI and other agencies to investigate the leak of the assessment report. Before and after the assessment was leaked to the media, Trump insisted that the Iranian nuclear facilities had been destroyed.
