00:00U.S. intelligence cannot fully confirm all of Iran's nuclear materials were destroyed in the 2026 strikes.
00:06That is now considered one of the world's most significant intelligence gaps.
00:11The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed Iran had an ambitious nuclear program,
00:16but uncertainty remains over whether undisclosed underground components survived.
00:21Analysts say Iran deliberately dispersed parts of its nuclear infrastructure,
00:26making it difficult to verify whether every facility was destroyed.
00:30If Iran eventually develops a nuclear weapon,
00:33analysts note that several major U.S. cities would fall within the range of Iranian ballistic missile systems.
00:40With Iran's new supreme leader facing intense political pressure,
00:45defense experts warn the incentive to secretly rebuild nuclear capabilities may be increasing.
00:50Officials say Washington continues to closely monitor the remaining intelligence gaps,
00:56warning that even a covert nuclear program could reshape regional security.
