From the transcript

Completely and totally obliterated. That was how the nation of Iran's critical nuclear facilities were described to the world in the aftermath of unprecedented American airstrikes using some of the deadliest conventional weapons in the history of the world.

According to the President of the United States, there is practically nothing left of Iran's fortified nuclear enrichment facilities and the Iranian nuclear program that the world has feared for decades has been buried inside American-made tombs under the crush of an Iranian mountain.

But America's own intelligence services told a different story after the strikes, suggesting that the nation's commander-in-chief had not only oversold the devastation, but managed to delay Iran's nuclear program by just months.
