REUTERSUS President Donald Trump told Congress this week that the Iranian sites bombed by the US housed a "nuclear weapons development programme," even though US spy agencies have said no such programme existed. "United States forces conducted a precision strike against three nuclear facilities in Iran used by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its nuclear weapons development programme," Trump wrote. Iran insists that its nuclear programme is for peaceful uses. Trump first cast doubt on intelligence about Iran's nuclear programme last week, when he repudiated the assessment that Gabbard delivered to Congress. I think they were very close to having one," Trump told reporters, referring to a nuclear weapon.
