A former CIA and FBI agent disagrees with Trump's assessment of the Iran strikes – but insists the strikes are still a win for the USA.

Tracy Walder, 44, worked for the CIA as an officer and the FBI as a special agent between 2000 and 2005 and learned how to take extra precautions while on assignments abroad.

Now in her role as national security contributor for NewsNation, Tracy has lifted the lid on what agents in the Middle East will be doing right now.

She said that countries like the US and UK need to stay out of any regime change that could happen, adding that the Iranian people need to work it out for themselves.

Tracy, from Dallas, Texas, said she "doesn't understand" the US Government's position that Iranian nuclear sites were "obliterated" and said it is not believable."

"If we apply basic logic, there is no question that Fordo was damaged – especially with the bunker busters," she said."

"There is no question that Iran moved uranium out of Fordo before the strikes; there are images that show trucks moving material."

"I don't think that is a failure on our part. I don't understand why we need to say it was obliterated, it is not believable and not true."

"I still think the mission is a victory for the US."

Earlier this week Donald Trump announced that a "ceasefire is now in effect" and asked both Iran and Israel not to violate it."

But Tracy questions whether this ceasefire ever existed

"I don't even believe there was a full cease-fire," she said. "I don't see any world where they were like 'sure' we will stop' – that would never happen."

Tracy hopes America's intervention in the conflict will be limited to air strikes, and that Trump will avoid getting entangled in regime change.

"My hope is that our intervention is limited to strikes and that is it," she said. "We do not need boots on the ground. If Iranians want a regime change, they need to pick their leader."

"The US and UK have got too involved in the past with picking world leaders, and it doesn't end successfully."

"We all need to take a step back, whether we like it or not, we need to let the countries decide."

"We may need to assist with the Iranian people, as they might not have all the tools they need for regime change, but we should not decide the change."

Tracy said that the intelligence services will be watching Iranian-backed groups like Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis to see if they will reignite tensions in the region.

A few days ago, the US embassy in Sweden issued a warning about two Iranian-backed groups in the country, called Foxtrot and Rumba.

Tracy said: "There is no question that the intelligence services will be watching Iranian-backed groups."

"The US Embassy issued a warning in Sweden just a couple of days ago."

"Foxtrot and Rumba, these are the two gangs that are doing Iran's proxy bidding, if you will, against their interests in Europe."

"Rawa Mahide is the head of the gang called Foxtrot, and he's known as the Kurdish fox."

"He is the one recruiting these individuals, not just to engage in narcotics trade but to attack the Israeli embassy, to attack synagogues, to attack at Israeli interests in Sweden."

"Which is not surprising because that is exactly what Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis were doing at the behest of Iran."
