CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.60
CENTCOM said strikes aimed to weaken Iran's ability to threaten Hormuz shipping and punish the IRGC for attacking US troops in Jordan.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because with inspectors locked out of Fordow and Natanz, the world no longer knows how much enriched uranium Iran actually has, shrinking the warning time before a possible weapon and raising the odds of a preemptive Israeli or US strike based on guesswork.
