UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief: ‘Night and Day’ Difference Between Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities Before and After US Strikes

[Gimmesometruth]

Their commentaries on the above tell us what they're about.

Our "commentaries" are about believing this admin. When you vote a serial liar into office twice, don't expect the office to viewed as truthful.

The US has been developing these weapons for decades....because....it is extremely difficult to penetrate the earth with gravity driven devices. When you add in layers of reinforced concrete, it becomes VERY difficult. These weapons have had no use outside of the test grounds, their effectiveness is unproven. If they didn't do the job, it sets us way back in terms of deterrence. Before, all feared their use, if they don't work, years of research was for not, our enemies (hello Kim) can breathe a sigh. The WH has put a lot of eggs in this basket, they have a lot at stake.

 

[Anthony60]

They weren't developing a nuclear weapon while we were still part of that deal.

Oh that's right, it was for nuclear power. In 40 years, they have exactly one power plant, they built over a decade ago. Sure, it's not for a weapon.

They were under 4% until late 2019. What kind of weapon would that make?

You don't start out at 60%. It takes a long time to get to weapons grade enrichment.

I really enjoyed this interview Bret Baier did today with Condi Rice, discussing the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. The seven minute video has just a bit of 2007 GW Bush and then Hegseth at the beginning but then the conversation with Condi begins.

UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief: ‘Night and Day’ Difference Between Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities Before and After US Strikes

The U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities set back the Islamic Republic’s program "significantly," the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog organization said Tuesday.

freebeacon.com

I know who I'm going to believe. The report above. The detected radiation confirms Iran's centrifuge enrichment program was destroyed. It will be many moons before Iran will be near capacity. We all ought to pull together and feel thankful that
Trump did sent well trained undetected flyers to do the deed. God Bless our troops.

Yeah all the doubt they were expressing on the news is fake.

*barf* I still cant stand establishment Republicans or anyone associated with Shrub's administration.
she did a decent job of diplomatic relations with Qadaffi.

At the time of their 2008 meeting, Rice was the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit Libya since then-Vice President Richard Nixon visited in 1957.

Lol, well you probably shouldn't watch it if barfing would be your reaction.

 

[snakestretcher]

Iran was "in compliance" with a deal that didn't require them to allow sufficient inspections. And they were developing a "nuclear explosion device" that the treaty banned.
I don't know why I bother to tell you that, since it won't make a damn bit of difference to you, except that a fact or two won't hurt.

Who told you that; Trump? Of course!

 

[snakestretcher]

The issue which I was raising was the damage report you are choosing to believe and promulgate.
That said, yes, the location of the highly enriched uranium is an issue, without question.


Meh, this in the eye of the beholder, in that the president's position that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon is a position which has been held for a decade or more.


Whether or not the JCPOA was actually working, or only being claimed to have been working is debatable, as per multiple posts bringing this into question in both this thread and other threads:
#2,909, #2,838 and even from a left leaning poster citing The New Republic: #242, as well as other posts.

There are others who are posting, in blind faith apparently, that the JCPOA was the do all and end all of Iran's nuclear programs - it wasn't, and it never was.


Not sure that when the White House declares something as 'Top Secret' that this validates what was contained. It is an early assessment with 'low confidence', which likely some permanently entrenched, unelected and unaccountable DC bureaucrat seeking to damage to the administration, to cause controversy were none is needed nor justified, to further their own personal political agenda.

In short all that is the most despicable about entrenched, unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.

"I take no responsibility at all". Who said that (seeing as you mentioned "unaccountable")?

 

[snakestretcher]

None of which is related to the topic being discussed.
Nice try at diversion with continued parroting of the left's politically motivated, 1/2 truths, context-less push narratives.

In his time, Stalin described people such as yourself as 'useful Idiots', and he was correct and accurate in that.

Triggered much? In a discussion where top secret issues and leaks are being discussed, what's your problem? Oh, and keep you infantile attempts at insult to yourself mate; water off a duck's back as far as I'm concerned.

 

[multivita-man]

As the news and press conferences keep rolling forward, it seems to me that the assessment of the UN, IAEA fellow, is probably more accurate than the low-confidence, Pentagon leak from an unknown source.

What was he basing his assessment on, exactly? Satellite photos can tell whether the structures were hit and damaged, but that's about it. The enriched uranium was likely moved somewhere else.

 

[snakestretcher]

Well, if one lie fails - just dig up an old debunked lie - and repeat it.

Except it wasn't debunked. A journalist was invited, by phone, to participate in a discussion about an attack on a foreign country. Fact. You need to get up to speed with events mate. Don't like it? Don't elect incompetents like Trump who only appoints sycophants, irrespective of their own competence.

 

[snakestretcher]

Yet it is that 'low-confidence, Pentagon leak from an unknown source' which left leaning posters want to hang their hat on, want to push as being reality, truth and accurate.

Why?
For no other reason than to smear the administration and the brave men and women in the military which carried out the attack, i.e. their political agenda.
All seems rather un-American and unpatriotic to me, including their political agenda.

"Brave men and women" flying stealth bombers at 50,000 feet, clearly in great danger Patriotism? What's that; 'pride' in an accident of geography you happened to have been born on? "Un-American" Go hug that flag!
Oh, and when an 'administration' is a damaging and incompetent as Trump's, and is led by a convicted felon, thief, fraudster and racist, wtf do you expect; praise? Then there are his cabinet picks; a more inept bunch of sycophantic morons you couldn't hope to meet-chosen for their loyalty, not their abilities.

Behold the sheer incompetence of Trump's Cabinet

I could only make it thru 5 pages of liberals hoping and praying we failed.


It irritates me to no end to know I was once part of that crowd.

If this is the level of your analysis, you’re not missed.

 

[reflechissez]

The world needed this victory. Wth?

Red hats are not "the world." Why would you mischaracterize someone's post like that?

 

[reflechissez]

They are literally and outwardly giddy about the possibility that none of Iran's nuclear capabilities may have been hindered. Feel free to provide a justification for this very clear Dem reaction.

I personally suspect the reason for this reaction is pure and simple TDS on steroids - but that has directly led the left to a clear and very vocal celebration of the potential that Iran's capabilities with nuclear weaponry are intact and readily available. Again, you can offer the justification you think the left will or should now use for very quickly and strongly taking this position. Good luck because I think the political ads are currently writing themselves.

Your opinion is noted.

You don't start out at 60%. It takes a long time to get to weapons grade enrichment.

They were under 4% for many years, until the end of 2019. Then, in stark contrast to your claim it takes a long time to get to weapons grade enrichment, they actually did so in 7 quarters.

Nobody has categorically confirmed, with unimpeachable evidence, that Iran reached any degree of enrichment beyond agreed levels-there is only speculation. The only credible source we have is the IAEA and they confirmed that Iran was in compliance with JCPOA until Trump reneged on the deal, at which point Iran had no obligation to continue abiding by a deal violated by America. Is it any wonder Iran doesn't trust the West, after being screwed over so often, from 1953 to today?

"Brave men and women" flying stealth bombers at 50,000 feet, clearly in great danger

Factcheck, that was not the altitude the mission was flying at. I've heard reported that the bomber were flying at 13,000 feet.
OK, so you must just hate the US military. Well, you be you.

Patriotism? What's that; 'pride' in an accident of geography you happened to have been born on? "Un-American" Go hug that flag!

Thanks! I quoted the operation ceiling of the B2. You have no idea what their altitude was during attacks. Fact remains a stealth bomber is a pretty safe place to bomb from. That's why it's called stealthy; it's almost invisible to radar, except what appears to be a blip the size of a small bird..

 

[eohrnberger]

Err, I accurately cited what was reported. Now you may want to believe that this reporting is a lie, but I don't think so.

Fact remains a stealth bomber is a pretty safe place to bomb from. That's why it's called stealthy; it's almost invisible to radar, except what appears to be a blip the size of a small bird..

On the topic of efficacy of 'stealthy' aircraft:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-117A_shootdown
• https://theaviationist.com/2016/03/...17-stealth-jet-during-operation-allied-force/
• https://www.defenceaviation.com/how-was-f-117-shot-down-part-1/

Anytime you take any aircraft into an active combat theater it elevates the risk exposure.
Being a 'stealthy' aircraft reduces the risk, but doesn't eliminate it.

Yeah all the doubt they were expressing on the news is fake.

It was most certainly an irresponsible (and demonstrated a deliberate and blatant against America messaging goal, all because of their Trump hate) CNN black eye. And hopefully the leaker will be found and jailed per the espionage act.

As far as CNN, Bertrand pulls this crap with story after story, wherever she is employed. It's a mystery as to why they want their network reputation represented by someone like her.
