0:24.6	Reporter Nabi Bulos says their assessment of the attack found that damage from the strikes
0:29.6	would only set Iran back a few months.
0:32.6	White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says the analysis is flat out wrong. Experts disagree on if the 30,000 pound bombs that were used could reach deep enough to
