Leaked CIA report contradicts Trump's Iran claims

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]US estimates on the resilience of Iran and its remaining military capacities are an underestimate. At every stage of this regime change campaign, we've been lied to. We've been lied to about the reasons why Trump launched it. He claimed that Iran was weeks away from nuclear weapon. Everyone knows that's not true. His own intelligence agencies, the consensus for more than two decades has been that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. And there were so many other lies piled on top of that.

[00:00:26]So, I think the fact that we're now getting these leaks from inside the US intelligence community after we've been told by the Trump White House that Iran's been decimated, that they can't hold out, that they're about to crumble, their economy is going to collapse. I think these leaks are coming out for a reason. There are people inside the intelligence apparatus who don't want to see a return to war. Not necessarily because they want peace, but because they know that the US has failed, and they don't want to see a further strategic defeat.
