Iran nuclear program set back 2 years after US strikes: Pentagon

The text attempts to convey a coherent narrative about the success of U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites but is marred by conflicting assessments. It presents Pentagon claims of “complete obliteration” alongside reports suggesting Iran may retain key capabilities, without resolving the contradiction. Statements such as “perhaps even their ambition to build a bomb” inject speculative bias, while repeated reliance on unnamed “intel assessments” and expert opinions constitutes an uncritical appeal to authority. The overall presentation leans toward a propagandistic tone, undercutting objectivity through selective emphasis and emotionally charged wording.
