Israeli sources give mixed assessments of nuclear strikes
As analysis of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities continues, Israeli sources gave mixed impressions to ABC News.

One source downplayed the damage at the Fordo uranium enrichment facility -- built hundreds of feet under a mountain southwest of Tehran -- saying the outcome there is "really not good."
Two sources said they do not know how much enriched uranium may have been moved from the sites in advance of the Israeli and American strikes, or how many centrifuges -- used to enrich uranium -- are left and can be made operational in the country.
To establish such details could take months, one source said, or prove impossible.
But an Israeli source with knowledge of the Israeli intelligence assessment gave a more confident read, telling ABC News that the strike on Fordo "got the job done, with the site "damaged beyond repair." The assessment, they added, is based on "excellent" intelligence sources inside Iran, which includes "info from spies, listening in on what the Iranian leaders themselves are saying and cyber spying capabilities."
"You don't have to go down into Fordo to know what happened," the source added. "If Israel was not satisfied with the results of the U.S. strikes, Israel would have bombed Fordow again. The was the central target of the whole operation. And Israel did not bomb it again."
The source also disputed suggestions that Iran had time to move enriched uranium stockpiles out of its nuclear facilities before the strikes. "It was stockpiled at Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow and it's now under the rubble," they said.
Another Israeli source cautioned against decisive assessments. "The most honest are those who say they don't know yet -- anyone who says it was a failure is pushing in the wrong direction, anyone who says it was 100% obliterated is also pushing in the wrong direction," they said.
