Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say

The reporting was nowhere near that. Quite the opposite. They stressed and stressed it was early and preliminary
 
Including the President.
 
It's really too early to know, and the nuclear facilities were destroyed, the question is how significant is the hit to the nuclear program, so I'm not sure what's this gotcha moment you're imagining here but it's non-existent.
It wasn't too early to know yesterday when you confidently declared that the destruction was so total that we don't even need to worry about the nuclear program any longer, simply because Donald issued you those talking points along with instructions to repeat them. And of course like a loyal little soldier, you followed your orders.
 
A lot of 'early assessments' are going to be provided to officials in the coming days. Wonder how many of those will be published on CNN.
Damage assessment is part of the DIA's job and while early assessments can change it's probably pretty damned close to authoritative. It also accords with what DIA told policy makers was a possible outcome.

Iran promises they will never build a bomb, and don't want one.
Well, if the number one state sponsor of terrorism worldwide and a government of religious genocidal maniacs tells us they don't want a nuclear bomb, we should certainly believe them. If you can't trust the Iranian government, who can you trust?

But we already know that Israel has nukes?
 
Show us that source then. Let's see what the "Defense Intelligence Agency" had to report, Allan.

everything going according to Schedule.

this is just Round one with many more to go.

US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites only set back program months, Pentagon report says

Yes, that's him but it is irresponsible and that's him too.

...The U.S. used massive bunker-buster bombs on Saturday to target three of Iran's key nuclear facilities, including one called Fordo, built deep inside a mountain.

Speaking at the White House after those strikes, Trump called the strikes a "spectacular military success."

"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," he said....



Trump's grandiosity makes him (and the USA) look ridiculous.
 
You know what I would have done in
preparation for an announced attack on my nuclear sites?

Shut down the centrifuges.
 
Who aside from that world renowned rocket scientist Karoline Leavitt is disputing it?
 
Including the President.

**Especially** the President, the man who should be held to the highest standard of anyone, certainly should be held to a much higher standard than random people on the internet.

“Completely and totally obliterated”. There shouldn’t really be any confusion as to what that’s saying, shouldn’t be any confusion what those words mean, why it’s important, what the ramifications are if it’s a lie, there’s no nuance.
 

Diplomacy, and in a weird way, if Trump is smart enough to see it, he might have set this up to give himself some cover for diplomacy. Nobody - not his fiercest critics nor his supporters from the pro-Israel contingent - can say he lacks the balls to take action military action and/or that he stood Israel up.

I still think Israel is going to be his problem on this, but it's possible that their recent experience might force Israel to come to their senses and realize that this president and the American people aren't interested in fighting their war.
 
FACT: No one knows but I pray no destruction just to prove even more Trump is in capable of doing anything right. So, if and when the results become known Trump and his goons will claim total destruction. May it blow up in their faces. "The truth will set you free or run you up a tree."
 
Uh oh, is Donny gonna get mad? Or maybe just fall asleep.

Maybe Iran can push a ceasefire for a few months.
Yeah, that's awkward on Donald's part. Declaring a Donald-brokered ceasefire before he even knew whether his strikes were successful. If they weren't, now Iran can return to the status quo while Donald has to figure out how to worm his way out of his own ceasefire "deal" and if he doesn't, Israel will attack anyway and make Donald look like a cuck on the world state.

Poor baby.
