Palantir's Defense Chief Says Iran Nuclear Program 'Set Back Significantly' By US Strikes—But Intel Split On How Long

Palantir's Defense Chief, Mike Gallagher, stated that U.S. military strikes have significantly hindered Iran's nuclear program, although intelligence reports vary on the long-term effects. While Gallagher noted substantial damage to Iran's nuclear facilities, some assessments suggest the impact may only delay Iran's ambitions by a few months. The operation involved advanced military capabilities and aimed to enhance deterrence, particularly against China. Despite the strikes, Iran's enriched uranium stockpile remains intact, and the loss of key nuclear scientists complicates future reconstruction efforts. Palantir's stock has surged 483% over the past year, reflecting strong market performance.
