Israel has been sabotaging Iran's nuclear efforts for decades.
How much those efforts changed the timeline is anyone's guess.
As to the underground facilities, it appears thousands of centrifuges were damaged by the sudden loss of power.
I don't know Trump's strategy or end game, bit having control of the use of bombs capable of penetrating buried facilities gives him a powerful bargaining chip.
Netanyahu will cater to Trump to get that capability and Iran will negotiate with Trump to keep Israel from getting that capability.
It does look like Iran is now pushing for talks.
