Pentagon says Iran nuclear program set back 1 to 2 years

The article inconsistently reports the effects of U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program, oscillating between claims of “complete obliteration” and earlier intelligence suggesting only a short-term setback. These conflicting claims, presented without resolution, create internal contradiction. The text leans heavily on the authority of officials—such as the President, Defense Secretary, and Pentagon spokesperson—without offering corroborating evidence. Descriptive phrases like “obliterating like nobody’s ever seen before” contribute to biased language that inflates the perceived success of the strikes. While acknowledging differing views from international experts, the article ultimately favors a narrative aligned with political leadership rather than balanced, evidence-based reasoning.
