Donald Trump has posted a 60-second video, external on social media that shows B-2 Bomber warplanes flying through the sky dropping dozens of bombs, over a musical soundtrack that repeats the words "bomb Iran".

The song - a parodied version of the Beach Boys' hit track Barbara Ann - has been tweaked to replace Barbara Ann with "bomb Iran".

The lyrics of the song in the video posted by Trump include: "Old Uncle Sam's getting pretty hot. Time to turn Iran into a parking lot. Bomb Iran. Bomb. Bomb. Bomb."

The pushback from the Trump administration continues, with Trump's special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff calling the leaked intelligence assessment on the US strike on Iran "treasonous".

"It's outrageous, it's treasonous and it has to be investigated. Whoever's responsible for it should be held accountable," he told Fox News.

He added that he has read all the damage assessment reports, saying there's "no doubt" that all three nuclear sites the US hit were "obliterated".

Trump appeared to echo Witkoff's comments by posting a clip of the Fox interview on Truth Social, quoting him as saying: “We put 12 bunker buster bombs on Fordo. There's no doubt that it breached the canopy...and there's no doubt that it was OBLITERATED. So, the reporting out there that in some way suggests that we did not achieve the objective is just completely preposterous!”

As we have been reporting, an early Pentagon intelligence assessment of America's attack on Iran on Saturday has cast doubt on the administration's claims that the nuclear programme was "obliterated".

The US struck three nuclear facilities in Iran - Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan - with "bunker buster" bombs capable of penetrating 18m (60ft) of concrete or 61m (200ft) of earth before exploding.

But sources familiar with the assessment say Iran's centrifuges are largely "intact" and the impact was limited to aboveground structures.

Entrances to two nuclear facilities were sealed off, and some infrastructure was destroyed or damaged but much of the facilities, which are deep underground, were intact.

The anonymous sources told US media it is estimated the attack only set Iran back "a few months, tops", and that any resumption of its nuclear programme may be based on how long it takes the country to dig out and make repairs.

Sources also confirmed to CBS that some of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was moved before the strikes, according to the intelligence assessment.

President Donald Trump has expressed his gratitude to former arch-rival Jeb Bush, after he commended him on the US strikes against Iran.

"Thank you to Jeb Bush - Very much appreciated," Trump wrote on social media.

Former Florida Governor Bush, in his own social media post on Sunday, said the raid on Iranian nuclear facilities "reasserts American strength, restores deterrence, and sends an unmistakable message to rogue regimes: the era of impunity is over".

Trump and Bush were bitter adversaries in the 2015-16 race for the Republican White House nomination. Trump prevailed after mocking his rival as "low energy" and railing against his brother President George W Bush's war in Iraq.

Aboard Air Force One en route to the Nato summit in the Netherlands, Trump shared a personal text message from a somewhat unlikely source.

It was sent by Nato boss Mark Rutte who praised the American president for what he had accomplished in using US bombers to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.

"Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action in Iran, " wrote Rutte. The warm words illustrated just how much the diplomatic equation in the Middle East has changed for Trump.

Last week he left the G7 summit a day early, as conflict raged between Israel and Iran and it appeared increasingly likely the US would join the fight. America's allies were anxious.

Now, it appears Trump is heading to Europe with the intention of basking in their praise. But the outlook is more complicated.

While the administration says Iran's nuclear research facilities were "obliterated", US military intelligence officials have told American media the damage is not as severe as the White House claimed.

And although Trump appears to have stopped the two-week Israel-Iran fighting, the wars that Trump inherited and promised to end, in Gaza and Ukraine, rage on.

Over the course of a dizzying 24 hours beginning on Monday, events in the Middle East have moved quickly.

A US airbase came under attack, the White House mediated a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, and the deal came close to unravelling.

Read our in-depth look at how those 24 hours unfolded here.

Doubts have lingered over the future of Iran's nuclear programme after the US strikes over the weekend, in the absence of solid evidence that America's bombing raid penetrated the deep-underground uranium enrichment sites.

President Trump and others in his administration have insisted that Saturday's strikes "totally obliterated" Tehran's programme.

But a new intelligence report produced by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has cast doubt on this claim.

Its findings state that the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities did not destroy the Iranian nuclear programme, and have probably only set it back by months.

In response, the White House said the assessment is "flat-out wrong" and is "a clear attempt to demean" President Trump.

So far, so quiet. For the first time in almost two weeks, residents in Israel and Iran have not been awoken by the sounds of sirens or explosions. Let's have look back at Tuesday's developments:

• US media are reporting that an initial assessment produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency says US strikes on Iran only set back its nuclear programme by a few months.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the report is "flat-out wrong"

• The ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding, with both acknowledging it is in place
• It follows an angry intervention by US President Donald Trump who earlier accused both sides of violating the truce

• The Israeli and the Iranian governments both claimed victory in their recent conflict
• Trump is attending the Nato summit in the Netherlands, where the focus is on defence spending among the countries that make up the alliance
