Trump's Iran bombing mission appears to have been a failure.

US strikes set Iran's nuclear program back a few months, Pentagon assessment says

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied the report, saying U.S. bombs "obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons."
www.usatoday.com

As with most things that Trump, this one looks like another abysmal "Trump failure".
Given that Iran likely had moved their material ahead of the bombing campaign, the bombs still failed to reach the necessary depths.
Now we can watch the Trump propaganda department try and cover up this massive Trump screw-up.
As we watch the Trump "liefest" that will ensure, we can all sit back and watch gas prices rise.
 
Last I read there was no radiation detected in the area. One would expect there to be if amounts of high-grade refined uranium were blown to smithereens.
But a lot of Americans believe Trump when he contradicts everything and everyone. It's beyond unhealthy.
 
I'm not going to root for a US military operation to be a failure, regardless of who ordered it. But I really do wish we had serious people in charge at the moment, not these corrupt and incompetent culture warrioring douchebags.

Wow, let's jump to conclusions and root for the theocratic extremist who kill people for how they pray.
 
The 60% enriched is stored as a gas in containers. It is heavier than air. If it's deep in the earth and it was released, it's going to stay there.

Jump to conclusions? Its literally the assessment of the Pentagon - the best intelligence we have.

And whos rooting for Iran here? Merely stating facts that are contrary to what you really really really want to believe is not rooting.

However, its what theocrats do - assail any facts that arent consistent with what they believe. Congrats.

Pointing out that Trump is yet again full of shit is rooting for Iran now?

Yeah, pretty obvious.
So, how many nuclear engineers and scientists died in their beds before the attack?
Do you think anybody is going to go back to work for Iran?

"Pentagon intelligence assessment has found the U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months, according to a U.S. government source familiar with the intelligence findings."

"Early evidence has shown the bombing did not reach depths necessary to destroy the facilities, which are buried deeply underground, according to a second U.S. official."

And you conclude that believing Pentagon intelligence, when it contradicts Trump, equals..."root for the theocratic extremist who kill people for how they pray."

Your country is soooo ****ed up.
 
When some hack calls it a failure. His her they them's first sentence of the post.
It's not.
It's either enough to stop the threat, or it's enough to finish the threat.

Post #4


Who here is hoping Bibi Netanyahu's grip on power is strengthened by Israel's possible blunder re its attack on Iran?

It was all trucked out. There's satellite photos.
And US intelligence saw those photos. It was all staged, they blew up an empty, unmanned facility.
 
A few months? That's better than last week. And who the **** is going to go back to work for them? Do you think the Nat Geo Spatial doesn't know where the truck went?

Huh? No, it's stored as a solid. It's enriched in gas form but uranium hexafluoride is quite reactive and not a thing you would store. Where did you get this information?

Delayed by a few months isn't "eliminated".

All that money Israel and the US have spent, all those Iranian lives the 2 countries have taken, and the net result is relatively-meaningless.

Trucks leaving. Do you know what was in them? It may have been the enriched. So now it's on satellite photos at the Geo Spatial center
 
Where are you getting all this info? The "moved" meme has not been substantiated in any way other than musings by those trying to demean Trump. We have satellites watching those ares almost continuously.

The IAEA also estimates that over 400 kilograms of the uranium hexafluoride gas have already been enriched to 60 percent—a level considered highly enriched, but not yet weapons grade.

The radiation risks of Iran’s nuclear program, with or without a strike on Fordow

Israel’s attacks create significant risks at Iran's nuclear sites. What could go wrong?

Trump's abrupt cancellation of this afternoon's Senate intel briefing speaks to the seriousness of this setback.

It was theatre. They blew up an empty, unmanned facility for show.
Your boy Trump is the most dangerous dimwitted juvenile in the world. Everyone in the world knows this except you and all those kool-aide addicts. The many-headed magatry.
 

Bold of you to assume Trump wanted to do the things he said he wanted to do.​
​
The mission may have been a failure to achieve some goals.​
​
​
But maybe Trump's goals were achieved.​
Did you ever think of that?​



Maybe Trump just wanted to be able to remember how he was all rugged when he ordered the dropping of big beautiful bombs.

Maybe Trump just wanted to tell people he ordered the dropping of bombs.

Maybe Trump just wanted to get the same sort of attention that Israel was getting.


 
The status pre-Israel's initiation of war.

All that money spent by the US and by Israel, all those Iranians killed by both countries, and we're back at the status quo of Thursday the 12th.

The movement of the uranium ahead of the bombing will be substantiated to Trump's satisfaction

just as soon as Trump wants to drop more bombs,

It’s not rooting against the home team, it’s a problem with the jerky coach. The Chinese have an old proverb, “big noise on stairs, nobody coming down.” Trump in a nutshell. Secure folks don’t need all the big, loud talk, they just go about their business in a calm, quiet manner.
