UN watchdog group says US strike on Iran fell short of destroying core nuclear capabilities

The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says US strikes on Iran fell short of causing total damage to its nuclear program and that Tehran could restart enriching uranium “in a matter of months,” contradicting President Donald Trump’s claims the US set Tehran’s ambitions back by decades.

Rafael Grossi’s comments appear to support an early assessment from the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, first reported on by CNN, which suggests the United States’ strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites last week did not destroy the core components of its nuclear program, and likely only set it back by months.

This agrees with the preliminary report from US intel. So, we spent millions of tax payer's dollars on an attack that sets back Iran's nuclear program for months. But since trump will fix the data, the final report will say the program was "obliterated." Nothing out of this regime can be taken as true...

I knew we would pretty quickly get to the point where lefty cultists were mad at Trump for not destroying ENOUGH in Iran, but it's still a lot of fun to see you do it.

Have you? I would trust the UN before you.

This regime is the most dishonest in history. It comes from the top.

...and how did they come to THAT conclusion? Did they dig 300 feet down and take a peek themselves? Did they have access to the information from CIA and Mossad spies within the Iranian government?

You dont find it odd that they would make such a claim without having access to all the information?

How did trump come to his conclusion of "obliterated" hours after the attack? Did he dig down and see the damage?

Flames shot out of those holes hundreds of feet in the air for HOURS. The area was covered in blue ash afterwards. All of this is an indication that they got to the bottom where they stockpiled their uranium. I mean, what else would fuel that fire? Its all concrete construction and therefore not flamable.

I am mystified----what is "UN MILITARY MIGHT" if we resort to a linguistic
analysis UNMILITARY MIGHT would be 'notmilitary might' ---if we get into
practicality----to wit REALITY----the "UN" has demonstrated no moral might
either-----it is all UN ---NOT ---not nuthin'

irosie, I don't care if you are mystified. My comment is clear. Do a linguistic analysis on that.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

john you are a *****....

Only a ***** like you, Harry, would project your inability on to someone else.

your comment is not clear----you mentioned UN MILITARY MIGHT and cannot define it

I don't have to. The problem is that you are deliberately trying to confuse the issue with an unfounded question.

 

[TimFitz]

not really-----the UN is true to its title U N un is a prefix meaning NOT It is a
NOT -----a nothing -----it ain't universalism-----it is just a waste of time and space and
expense

Thank you for making my point.

This is so typical of the two faced attitude of right wing isolationists.

Out of one side of their mouths, they demand that the UN "do something" about one crisis or another.

Out of the other, they decry the idea of the UN having its own army to "do something" with.

nothing 'UNFOUNDED" about it-----The US is often cited as an "AUTHORITY". It, clearly has no
"military might" -----except that of "believers". Do you support the idea of UN AUTHORITY?

I didn't DEMAND anything. I questioned your terminology. IMHO----the fact that the UN does
not have a military is a good thing. The FACT that some people see it as a kind of DIVINE ENTITY---
is not a good thing

 

[justoffal]

Well no shit “they could start to rebuild” it someday.

We destroyed their current stockpile and facilities

More strikes in the future?

 

[irosie91]

More strikes in the future?

sadly-----probably

They will resume their nuclear program in months, two analysis have determined. Sorry, trump is a Liar.

Considering that Trump drew a different conclusion before the aircraft were even back on the ground, I'd say thier guess is probably better than his.

Also, they don't just make stuff up like Trump does.

There is no doubt about that.

Trump has been consistant in his bad faith dealings with Iran.

They have no reason whatsoever to trust Trump, or the United States any more.

Of course, Trump thinks he can rule by fear.

It doesn't work, unless he has a hold on his victims.

So Obama lied when he said it was for "peaceful electricity". I thought so.

 

[Frankenstein]

typical partial isolationism.

Screw you, and the thug dictator horse you rode in on!

Iran doesn't do deals, they sign them, and ignore them, you people are seriously stupid if you think for one minute they have ever stopped chasing the nuke!
