This confirms the assessment from the DIA that Iran's nuclear program was not "obliterated" as Trump wildly claimed before the attack could be properly evaluated.
But Trump already staked his ground so he'll have to continue to double down.
The real problem for him is that he's also said that negotiations aren't necessary. That means there's nothing to prevent Iran from going back and enriching uranium.
This could not have been handled worse.

CNN —
The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says US strikes on Iran fell short of causing total damage to its nuclear program and that Tehran could restart enriching uranium “in a matter of months,” contradicting President Donald Trump’s claims the US set Tehran’s ambitions back by decades.
Rafael Grossi’s comments appear to support an early assessment from the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, first reported on by CNN, which suggests the United States’ strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites last week did not destroy the core components of its nuclear program, and likely only set it back by months.
