Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, scoffed at President Trump’s claims of success following U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites this weekend.

In a Sunday interview on CNN’s "State of the Union," Himes said there’s no way U.S. officials could have enough information yet to make that assessment.

“Look, that's insane. That's insane. You don't need to be an intelligence professional to know that we have no idea whether these strikes were successful,” the Democrat said when asked about the Trump administration’s claims of success and whether the world “is a safer place” following the strikes.

The bombs targeted nuclear sites in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow, located inside a mountain. Six bunker buster bombs were reportedly dropped on Fordow, while more than two dozen Tomahawk missiles were launched at the other two sites.
