'A bit perplexed': Israel questioning Trump government's Iran damage report

06/25/25 12:26 PM

Israel is now questioning President Donald Trump’s damage report, and CNN political and global analyst Barak Ravid claims Israeli intelligence is “a bit perplexed.”The remarks came while Ravid was speaking with anchor Kate Bolduan. “You have new reporting on what Israeli intelligence services believe,” Bolduan said, “but what are you hearing about this?”“Well, I don't know if Israel had anybody on the ground going into the facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan and looking up close at what happened,” Ravid, who is also an Axios reporter, said. “I just don't know if that's true. I do know that President Trump was accurate when he said that Israel is preparing its own battle damage assessment report.”Ravid added, “Several Israeli officials told me that they were actually a bit perplexed by how fast the defense intelligence agency produced their own battle damage assessment, because for the Israelis, it is still too soon to have, you know, those kind of specific conclusions of how far back the Israeli and U.S. strikes took the Iranian nuclear program.”The political and global analyst sources told him, “It is still unclear whether they were damaged, but it is still unclear if there was internal collapse, and in Fordow there was also significant damage, but it was still unclear whether there was collapse underground. I think that's the situation, at least as I heard it last night from Israeli officials.”Bolduan then asked, “If the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is now holding, as it obviously seems to be, what are you hearing from your sources about what happens now?” “I think there's a lot of focus on Gaza now,” Ravid said. “Seven Israeli soldiers were killed yesterday. In an IED that was put under an armored personnel carrier. I think that both Israeli public opinion and parts, big parts of the Israeli leadership want this war to be over.”Watch the full interaction below or here. - YouTube youtu.be

If he doesn't let you know that I'll come back and I'll hit him hard, okay?”The president added that Schoff called him “daddy” in a “very affectionate way.”Haynes tried to get the rest of her question in “Do you regard your NATO allies though as can of like children and they will not listen to and are spending more—”Trump attempted to interrupt again but Haynes pressed on“Do you hope that actually they going to be able to defend themselves ... defend Europe on their own?”“I think you need the help a little but at the beginning,” Trump said. “And I think they will remember this day. This is a big day for NATO. This was a very big day. They took at one of the judgments agenda what we've been trying to raise money raise the rate for 30 years [and they did].”Trump then moved on to other questions.Sky news was founded by Rupert Murdoch, however Comcast is the majority share holder of the company now.Watch below or click here.
