Senate Democrats question "obliteration" of Iran's nuclear sites after classified briefing on strikes

Washington — Some Senate Democrats cast doubt on the Trump administration's characterization of the strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities after top officials briefed senators Thursday. 

In recent days, President Trump repeatedly declared "total obliteration" after three nuclear sites were bombed in a secret attack by the U.S. Meanwhile, an initial classified assessment found that the strikes set back Tehran's nuclear program by a matter of months, while Mr. Trump said the nuclear program was set back "basically decades." 

Democrats questioned assertions regarding how much Iran's nuclear program has been hindered.
