The final assessment of the Trump administration's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities will be key to driving negotiations on the nuclear protocol.

According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on June 28, CNN reported that as the Trump administration shifts from military strikes against Iran to diplomatic negotiations, the final military and intelligence assessments will be crucial for future Iran nuclear negotiation strategies. Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff needs to leverage this final battlefield damage assessment (including details on facility damage and nuclear material locations) to formulate U.S. diplomatic strategies.

Despite President Trump's claim that Iran's nuclear program has been "totally destroyed," preliminary assessments from the Defense Intelligence Agency indicate that the attack did not dismantle the core components of the country's nuclear program. Former officials emphasized that even if facilities are severely damaged, it does not mean that the nuclear program itself has been completely eradicated.

Experts point out that future negotiations with Iran should prioritize the return of the UN nuclear oversight agency to Iran. However, the Iranian parliament suspended cooperation with the agency this week due to the role played by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the attacks by the United States and Israel. As the IAEA obtains less and less information, there is a significant gap in the world's understanding of Iran's nuclear stockpile, especially regarding the location of Iran's enriched uranium.
