US strikes on Iran set nuclear program back by months

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Zinc chromate is applauding this story. It wants to be killed by Iranian nukes. Maybe it will volunteer to be ground zero for their first test.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Then we'll just have to hit 'em again...

I wonder if the Bunker-Busters can contain an atomic warhead?

We could call it an Underground Test...

Yay more endless warfare!

 

[Kondor3]

Yay more endless warfare!

Endless? Or an end to it? Or would you rather wait until they nuke LA or NYC or Chicago or Washington DC or something?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Endless? Or an end to it? Or would you rather wait until they nuke LA or NYC or Chicago or Washington DC or something?

Then we nuke them just like we would Pakistan or Russia.

Following your logic we should nuke them right now. So which is it?

PURE UNADULTERATED BULLCRAP

In 2015 the US convinced the IAEA to use Palantir's Mossaic Software - unbeknownst to the IAEA the software was/is controlled by the CIA/Mossad.

The software was sold to the IAEA because it could "map out data points thereby signal when Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon".

Iranian IT/AI Expert Mohsen Fakhrizadeh caught on to the scam but the Mossad immediately assassinated him:

How Israel deployed an intelligence deception to justify killing scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh - The Grayzone

Israel's Mossad has spent years on a propaganda campaign aimed at convincing the world Iran possessed a nuclear weapons program – and legitimizing its assassinations of Iranian academics. The Israeli assassination of Iranian defense official Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is being treated as a triumph of...

The people who said that inspections of nuclear sites couldn’t confirm compliance with the JCPOA, but they magically know what happened to the nuclear program hours after the bombings.

It’s just not credible.

LOL I may be funny but I find "The people were not authorized to address the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity." Not credible when they are addressing the matter publicly.

First, my suspicions was initially that it would require a special forces unit to take out this location. An entry, place explosives, a very daring and risky attack.

If this is true, it cannot be good. If the buildings did collapse though and are not useable, than I can't see how it would only put them back a couple of months unless they are enriching in another country.

I suppose we will know over time as more intelligence and hopefully accurate information is purchased by dissidents. You can be sure that the Iran regime will be promoting to their own people that everything is fine because they suspect such information would leak out. This is going to require recruiting some very trustworthy and high ranked Iranians, not an easy task.

A new U.S. intelligence report found that Iran's nuclear program has been set back by only a few months after a U.S. strike, and was not "completely and fully obliterated" as U.S. President Donald Trump has said, according to two people familiar with the early assessment.

The early intelligence report issued by the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) on Monday contradicts statements from Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the status of Iran's nuclear facilities. The people were not authorized to address the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

According to the people, the report found that while the Saturday strikes at the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites did significant damage, the sites were not totally destroyed.

The assessment found that at least some of Iran's highly enriched uranium was moved out of multiple sites before the strikes and survived, according to the people. It also found that Iran's centrifuges are largely intact.

If the Iranians weren’t motivated to make deliverable nukes before (they weren’t) they certainly are now.

Except, the consequences only increase in severity so they would really be tempting fate.

They should come to the table and seek peace. No many bloody countries have nukes already, it's ridiculous really.

 

[BackAgain]

The report is a preliminary estimate only.

You can rest assured their nuclear capability is gone because Israel is willing to stop bombing them. I can also guarantee if any uranium was shipped out they know exactly where it is.

Face it, trump lied and he has all his minions telling the same lie.

No one lied but you. You aren't in Iran, Neither are any of the media as well. So, there is no proof of your lie. But, be a good Democrat and keep it up so that Republicans can smash Democrats in the midterms. Stupid is as stupid does, Democrats.

LOL this is retarded it's laughable. Poor Dems, so desperate to snatch a defeat from victory.

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it.

But...but I thought it was "obliterated. This goes to show you, not a word coming out of this WH vcan be believed.

They're telling you that for thirty years , why stop now.


Aren't you gearing up with the Europeans to invade Russia

 

[Cougarbear]

My guess would be the complete lack of any radiation anywhere.

The Iranians knew what was coming since Israel was bombing them. They moved the Uranium. But, the Uranium is just that, Uranium. The tools to enrich are destroyed. Those have to be rebuilt and the process started all over. Some of the scientists were killed as well and you know Israel will go after the last guy alive. CNN just makes up stuff and you all believe them after they have lied to you on everything from Russiagate to Biden's mental state with dementia.

If Trump's entire intelligence apparatus tells him one thing, and he says they are wrong... where is he getting his information?

A: His anus. He lied.

They can't admit victory--that would mean they would have to give Trump some credit.

We discussed it the day after the operation, that wormy Democrats would try to SPIN it as a failure.

The spin is still being pushed that way, but I was encouraged when 126 democrats voted against Al Green's moronic impeachment articles. Of course AOC, Omar, Crockett, Jayapal, Pressley and 74 others voted for them. These morons have to go.

What were they planning on delivering on their ICBMs, candy? And to whom?
