emissions (many countries tried to detect them). Didn't escalate to a war between US and Iran. It stopped the war between Israel and Iran. It didn't cause oil price hike and market panic. We couldn't ask a mission done better than this one. The last mission in Iran I know, operation Eagle Claw of 45 years ago, is a disaster.
boots on the ground in Iran to keep tabs on those or other sites...even the former Shah of Iran insisted on a nuclear capability. This is hardwired into their psyche and they'll continue to pursue that goal...we've only made it (much) harder to control.
btw, one of the nuclear sites (Isfahan (sp?)) was judged to be "Too Deep" for our MOP bombs...ergo, Iran can just dig deeper and continue its weapons program. This attack was as short-sighted as you can get...par for the course among MDs with an unwarranted God Complex.
sooner or later. Iran now suspended cooperation with IAEA. 1. The bill is passed by parliament. But it has to be approved by Iran Guardian Council to become law. Don't forget Iran parliament also passed the bill to shut down strait of Hormuz. But the stait still is opening now. 2. Suspension of cooperation with IAEA is temporary, not permanent. Again, sooner or later Iran has to accept inspection from IAEA if they remain the member of NPT.
Fordow nuclear site is buried in mountain and is hardest one among 3 nuclear sites to damage. But satellite image shows the hole hit by GBU-57 is right above the main lobby of underground at Fordow. Also from satellite 2 entrances' area were hit by GBU-57. So, the bombing is accurate. As for its damage, just like bombing a building, you don't have to completely destroy it. If your bombing has impact on its structure caused a safety hazard and its repair is not cost effective, this building then can not be used. So, from practical perspective there is no difference between a damaged building that can not be used anymore and the building that is completely destroyed.
JCPOA folks are going to have supply a lot more pallets of cash to help them build it back.
Military targets hit as well. Fuck Iran and Russia!
I spoke with a Persian friend of mine and he hoped for the same. He lost some close family members during the Islamic Revolution. He hates the Islamists.
....I think that's why Israel broke the cease fire - they must have wanted to be 100% sure or maybe just eliminating some of the last missile launch site targets for themselves - not sure.
The fact that there is still a cease fire after Israel did that shows you how thoroughly Israel has degraded their capabilities.
It would be nice for Israel if they degraded them even more, but I'll take the No Nuke Iran and run with it.

those "Badly Damaged" nuclear facilities...
There will be a parade, fireworks and bombs.
You have no clue about Iran’s present capacity to build a nuclear bomb, cheerleader.

...oh and dictatorial COVID mandates without any scientific evidence, and dictatorial Climate Change mandates without scientific evidence that they will help.
weapons out of Iran...this sort of political spinning isn't helping...we still need a new deal...e.g. "JCPOA" if that goal is to be achieved.

Lots of pissed off people after a very successful mission.
Fairly despicable, yet predictable that NYT and CNN used a deep stater to leak a "low confidence" initial assessment (probably written by the deep stater) but not mention that it was "low confidence at the time. They wanted to steal the thunder away from this great US victory, and their first concern was their own political agenda.
They also have failed to acknowledge subsequent "high confidence" reports from our own US intel as well as Mossad that confirmed the complete success of the raid.
Not only do the Dems want Trump to fail, they also want to create a counter narrative that their minions can parrot into the next election and undoubtedly will try to fund terrorist Iran once again to develop a nuclear program (which will of course be peaceful).
