Iran could resume nuclear enrichment in a matter of months, now the US
A recent evaluation of the destruction caused by the United States strike in Iranian nuclear sites last month determined that an enrichment site was mainly destroyed, but two others were not so damaged.
The sites have been degraded only to a point where nuclear enrichment could be resumed in the coming months if Iran wishes, five current and previous officials of the United States familiar with the evaluation said. The evaluation was informed to some US legislators, officials of the Department of Defense and allied countries in recent days, four of the sources said.
A current United States official and two former US officials also told NBC News that the United States central command had developed a much more comprehensive plan to attack Iran. He would have involved reaching three additional sites in an operation that would have stretched several weeks instead of one night. President Donald Trump rejected that option because he disagreed with his foreign policy instinct extracts the United States from conflicts abroad, as well as the possibility of a greater number of victims on both sides, a current official and a former official said.

While Trump has called Iran a “spectacular military success” that resulted in the key enrichment facilities for Iran are “completely and totally erased”, the reality obtained through intelligence until now seems to be more nuanced.
It is possible that the United States can be again in a conflict in Iran, two of the sources said, and there have been discussions within the American and Israeli governments about whether additional strikes could be necessary if Iran will not restart the negotiations of nuclear agreements, or if there are signs that the Islamic Republic is trying to rebuild in one of the less damaged facilities.
The United States in June attacked three enrichment sites in Iran: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Much of the public messages of the Trump administration on strikes has focused on Fordo, which for a long time has been seen as a critical component of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Even if Iranian sites were not completely destroyed, US officials and Republican defenders of the operation believe it was a success because the nuclear equation for the country has changed.

Staff selection: The 33 -second scene is considered ‘too sensual’ in India
Julio has been a month of success in India for Hollywood. “Superman” and “F1: The Movie” have been a success in the country, but the filmmakers with whom I talked have enraged in the Indian censors due to the abrupt cuts in both films. In the Superman of James Gunn, a kiss in the air of 33 seconds between Lois Lane and Clark Kent was considered “too sensual”, and the Indian authorities also agreed with the middle finger in F1, replacing it with a fist in a scene that showed him as an emoji. Censorship is a routine for Indian cinematics, who accuse the authorities of forcing arbitrary and moralistic changes in Hollywood films, while they adopt double scratches for Bollywood movies, which are often mixed with insinuations, misogyny and sensual scenes.
