Early US intelligence report suggests US strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by months
A new U.S. intelligence report suggests that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back only a few months after U.S. strikes, not “completely and totally obliterated” as President Donald Trump has said.
Any day now since the eighties.
Anyway, Iran probably should get a few nukes and get them fast.
Lies. Some drunk tv host got on tv and said it was obliterated. So this much be fake news.
The assessment found that at least some of Iran’s highly enriched uranium was moved out of multiple sites before the U.S. strikes and survived, according to the people, and it also found that Iran’s centrifuges are largely intact.
At the deeply buried Fordo uranium enrichment plant, the entrance collapsed and infrastructure was damaged, so that will take time to fix, but the underground infrastructure was not destroyed, according to one of the people. The person also said that previous assessments had warned of this outcome at Fordo.
The White House strongly pushed back on the assessment, calling it “flat-out wrong.”
. . . “The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump
WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH OCEANIA
And was it worth it to start WW3? He's going to suggest using a nuke next, just watch
Another miserable failure
And now they're pissed off and look forward to using the bomb they develop.
It will not happen before khamenei dies. Hr is against the use of nukes
Hopefully Pakistan or North Korea have already given them a few while they develop their own.
U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said that seven Spirit bombers were deployed to Iran, each with two crew members. He also confirmed that the attack package included U.S. submarines that launched 30 Tomahawk missiles at Iranian targets; he also noted the involvement of both fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft - including F/A-18s, F-22 Raptors, and F-35 Lightning IIs.
The exact cost of the mission remains unknown, but for context: each B-2 bomber is worth over $2 billion, an F-35 runs around $100 million, and the USS Carl Vinson — a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier — cost roughly $4.5 billion. Caine said that “more than 125 US aircraft participated in this mission”, so who knows how long the bill will be when it comes in. (source)
So worth it, brah.
Relative to the B2, 4.5B$ seems cheap for a whole nuclear powered aircraft carrier
It gets a big discount for not being invisible.
Better than applying the money to socialist programs back home, for sure. (the ones still around)
Most experts could have told the White House all this before it was done, these were widely reported in worldwide news a week before he did it
He has a problem: he can not finish the job as long as Iran and Israel stick to the ceasefire.
Trump is getting enough power in the US alone, that I am sure he thinks he can do what the wants globally without repercussions.
Israel never sticks to ceasefires. They are addicted to war.
Not at all. Oil didn't go up. This distraction didn't work as much as he wanted.
The only person that thought bunker busters would destroy a mountain was Trump.
The effectiveness of any strike can most easily be measured by the effectiveness of the counterattack
so it's now firnly back in thw biden era and trump can now unequivocally blame the status of their nuclear plans on his predecessor.
maybe this chump isn't as dumb as he seems.
That doesn’t make sense. Walk me through this…
