Steve Witkoff has dismissed an intelligence report that said US air strikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites did not destroy the country’s nuclear programme, Al Jazeera reports.

“All three of those had most, if not all, the centrifuges damaged or destroyed in a way that it will be almost impossible for them to resurrect that programme,” Witkoff told Fox News.

“In my view, and in many other experts’ views who have seen the raw data, it will take a period of years.”

Witkoff also called the leaking of the report as “treasonous”.

“It ought to be investigated. And whoever did it, whoever is responsible for it, should be held accountable,” he added.
