This damage assessment is as much garbage as Trump's claim of obliteration. 14 big bombs were only meant to punch holes in the most deeply fortified bunkers. Of course they weren't expected to destroy the whole program. Israel killed the top dozen physicists and engineers on the program in the first salvo. Then they had 12 days of open skies to bomb every known site in Iran. That's maybe 100 bombing sorties per day. They must have done serious damage. And it's not about the enriched uranium. You can move 400kg of enriched uranium on the bed of one pickup truck. But 18000 centrifuges, which are delicate precision instruments, can't be moved easily. They were kept at Natanz and Fordow, the crown jewels of the Iranian program, because they are the most fortified. Where would they be moved - to a site that Israel can bomb easily with conventional munitions? Have at it guys. There are other sites, where the design and engineering work to package the bomb on to a ballistic missile is being done. Those were bombed too. It all means that they're probably set back by much more than a few months, with or without the MOPs.
