Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine on Thursday said he hadn't felt pressured to present a rosier assessment of the success of the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

"I've never been pressured by the president or the secretary to do anything other than tell them exactly what I'm thinking," he told reporters at the Pentagon during a press briefing, adding that it was his job to present a range of options and their risks to President Trump and execute his orders.

After a leaked preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency assessment stated that the strikes could have set Iran's program back only a few months, Trump had touted that the Pentagon would present "irrefutable" proof at Thursday's briefing.
