Well, on that day Iran launched missiles at our base in direct retaliation to Trump's decision
Unlike other days when Iran did not launch missiles at our base because we didn't drop bombs on them

Boo-hoo for Iran. They don’t need a reason to launch missiles or unleash terrorists at US bases as they demonstrated numerous times in recent years.

On the contrary: Iran, unlike Israel and the USA, carefully calculated how to respond but to do so showing restraint and self-discipline - in order not to escalate.

What the BlueSky simpleton doesn’t understand is that there is no finishing off Fordow. And Israel is the primary beneficiary of a ceasefire because catastrophic damage is being done by Iranian hypersonic missiles they cannot intercept.

Your political girlfriend is our first and only president who governs via social media.

I realized that MAGAs have no self-awareness but, wow.

It's not just one.

You must have missed this excerpt from the nytimes article:

...Initial Israeli damage assessments have also raised questions of the effectiveness of the strikes. Israeli defense officials said they have also collected evidence that the underground facilities at Fordo were not destroyed....

What Operation Midnight Hammer Means for the Future of Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions

Operation Midnight Hammer struck Iran's key nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan using B-2s and Tomahawk cruise missiles. This effort aimed to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities, but its success is still to be determined.
www.csis.org www.csis.org
On June 22, officials from the Israeli military told the New York Times that the Fordow nuclear site was substantially damaged, but not destroyed. The officials also indicated that Iran may have moved uranium away from the site before the attack. Regardless of whether the Fordow facility is completely destroyed, it is highly unlikely that enrichment activities will resume at Fordow in the near future.

The Isfahan nuclear complex conducts several key activities in Iran’s nuclear program. The nuclear campus includes a chemical laboratory, a uranium conversion plant to prepare uranium for enrichment, the Tehran reactor fuel manufacturing plant, a centrifuge manufacturing facility, and a metal processing facility. On June 13, the same Israeli attack also struck the chemical laboratory, conversion plant, fuel manufacturing plant, and metal processing facility. It is unclear what specific capabilities the recent U.S. attacks on June 21 with Tomahawk missiles were targeting.

the targets attacked at Isfahan may not have required deep earth penetration capabilities. Nevertheless, satellite imagery reveals that the Tomahawk strikes at Isfahan dealt significant damage to several buildings at the nuclear complex.

Copy and paste the actual excerpt from the 2-days'-old nytimes article - and post its link.

Thanks.

In the meantime, my excerpt from today's nytimes article stands:
