President Trump said on Wednesday at the NATO summit in the Netherlands that "numerous" new reports on the U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear sites show they were "obliterated" – challenging a preliminary one released to the media a day earlier that concluded that the airstrikes Saturday set back Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon by just three months. 

There are "numerous reports coming out fast and furious," Trump said during a press conference in The Hague, with information the U.S. has gathered, "including [from] people going to the site."

He also said that Iran didn't move its uranium out of the sites before the strikes, and that it was 30 stories underground and would have required very careful transportation.

The president's comments follow his statements earlier on Wednesday regarding a Defense Intelligence Agency assessment that media outlets reported on that said the strikes had only set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months and that Iran had moved much of its enriched uranium before the strikes.

"The intelligence was ... very inconclusive," Trump told reporters on Wednesday in The Hague while meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Reuters reported.

"The intelligence says, 'We don't know, it could have been very severe.' That's what the intelligence says. So I guess that's correct, but I think we can take the 'we don't know'. It was very severe. It was obliteration," Trump added.

During the press conference at NATO, Trump also said that he helped orchestrate the treaty organization raising the amount of GDP spent on its defense by member countries to 5%.
