US strikes have significantly ‘hindered' Iran's nuclear program
FDD's Nonproliferation and Biodefense Program Deputy Director Andrea Stricker discusses how much damage strikes from the US and Israel dealt to Iran's nuclear aspirations. 'I would say many years to restore what they had; if we are talking about a crash push to assemble an atomic weapon, that could be less,' Ms Stricker told Sky News Australia. 'My hope is that it's around two years at least, and Iran is significantly hindered.'

US strikes likely have made Iran incapable of making nuclear weapons in a ‘dash effort'
FDD's Nonproliferation and Biodefense Program Deputy Director Andrea Stricker discusses how far the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have set the country's atomic weapons program back. 'The nuclear program has likely been set back many months if not years, we have seen damage to the uranium conversion step, the enrichment and the processing of turning into atomic weapons metal,' Ms Stricker told Sky News Australia. 'Even if Iran wanted to make a nuclear weapon in a dash effort, it likely doesn't have the people or capability to do so.'
