Ynet Probe Says PMO Pressed Fordow Damage Claim
Ynet published a July 3 investigation saying PMO-linked pressure after the U.S. strike on Fordow pushed Israeli security and nuclear officials to endorse a damage statement useful to Washington's obliteration narrative. It says intelligence and BDA officials assessed major but not absolute damage, one senior official refused to sign, and IAEC director Moshe Edri advanced wording that Fordow's critical infrastructure was destroyed and Iran was set back by years, with a caveat about nuclear material access. White House, Walla, ABC, JTA and Iran International confirm the public IAEC/White House statement and contemporaneous dispute over early U.S. intelligence. Israel's achievements against Iran are strongest when professional assessments stay precise.
