Immediately following a Sunday morning Pentagon press conference regarding the Saturday bombing attack on Iran ordered by Donald Trump, longtime New York Times Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper noted the wording used for one site by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine.

Sitting on a panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Cooper was asked for her takeaways from comments made by Caine and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Despite Donald Trump's claim after the attack that, "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," Caine seemed to disagree.

Ac Cooper noted, "Some of my independent reporting now –– this is not coming from either Hegseth or Caine obviously –– but it's not, there's some indications now that people are not so sure that this site has been completely destroyed, that it was severely damaged."

She then added, "And Caine did say 'severely damaged,' but he did not use the word 'destroy,' and I think that's quite significant."
