US strikes on Iran set nuclear program back by months

[Fort Fun Indiana]

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

Fair point, but the Iranians know that is the correct thinking. They do these things for leverage.

Preliminary assessment using satellite derived data only.

You can't get accurate assessments without having people on the ground.

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

No. If you're looking at a baby cobra, you cut off the head of the baby-snake before it becomes dangerous.

Nuclear weapon -tipped ballistic missiles in the hands of a Militant Islamist Theocratic Dictatorship is A Bridge Too Far.

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

Kill the snake before it bites and before it grows large enough where it would become mortally dangerous to kill it.

Just ballistic missiles---they don't have inter-continental yet. Just sayin'

 

[Kondor3]

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

Then we'll keep bombing-the-$hit out of them until they stop.

BTW... they were not only motivated beforehand but already heavily engaged in producing weapons-grade fissile material.

One does not develop an intermediate-range ballistic missile fleet and build refining facilities 300 feet underground for fun.

Anyone too dense to see that or lacking the ball$ to take action before such efforts bear an unstoppable force are fools.

True, but they openly admit that they are working on them.

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.

Anyone authorized by this administration to address the matter publicly would not be credible. Contradicting the president is not allowed.

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...

Oh, hor$e$hit... absolutely meaningless and super-easy to circumvent... now... back under your Muzzie-loving rock...

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.

Where are you getting that his intelligence team are saying anything different? Where are you getting your information from? CNN? LOL!!!

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Yep. Niw time to bail out of the region. Not our fight!

Not possible. We are going to bail little brother out of his bad decisions...because that's what the political directorate of the just and righteous...demands. ^shrug^.

 

[Cougarbear]

You believed Biden was competent, not me.

Show one post where I said Biden was competent??? You won't find any.

Testimony in front of Congress. Pretty airtight, really. Nowhere to move the goalposts, here.

Sure, she flipped (in public, not in front of Congress) and now says, "within weeks". Which is, of course, absurd by any standard. Iran could not turn 60% uranium into a nuclear bomb "within weeks". I think you know this. So this flip flop is transparent. Notice she didn't mention a shred of evidence.

Naturally, because she and the largest intelligence-gathering apparatus on the planet have none. As she very explicitly told Congress and the world.

LOL That was the last administration. THE BORDER IS SECURE - SHARP AS A TACK - RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION

Stop being such a stooge for your party.. you're better than that

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.

What are you talking about? This post has to do with the bombing of Iran with 30,000lb bombs over the weekend. The sites were destroyed. The science equipment is gone and so are the progressions of the material. There has been no congressional hearing about this yet. Are you okay?

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

CNN....

It of course speaks directly to that and directly answers the question YOU asked me and directly addresses a statement YOU made that the only one "lying" was the poster, earlier. Did you forget? You're behaving oddly.

Trump's justification: "they were weeks away from having a bomb."

His intelligence community: "No they aren't"

Trump: "Well, they're wrong."

So, where is he getting his info, then?

A: His ass. he lied.

Get it?

 

[Blisterfinger]

Unfortunately, as we know, the fat rapist doesn't listen to the intelligence community.

For good reason, none of us do.

Elon Musk stood before a giant American flag at a Wisconsin political rally in March and rolled out an eye-popping allegation of rampant fraud at the Social Security Administration. Scammers, he said, were making 40 percent of all calls to the agency’s customer service line.

Social Security employees knew the billionaire’s claim had no basis in fact. After journalists followed up, staff members began drafting a response correcting the record.

That’s when Leland Dudek — plucked from a midlevel job only six weeks earlier to run Social Security because of his willingness to cooperate with Mr. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency — got an angry call from the White House, according to several people familiar with the exchange.

“The number is 40 percent,” insisted Katie Miller, a top administration aide who was working closely with Mr. Musk, according to one of the people familiar with the April 1 call. President Trump believed Mr. Musk, she said. “Do not contradict the president.”

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.

The word was "obliterated." What person, in their right mind, makes such an unwarranted statement such as this without even a preliminary assessment of the damage. No president before the Felon in Chief would have come out bragging like this.

But trump wants to be known as the tough guy. So he blurts out these stupid words. The liar is know for his fabrications. Notice Iran is being quiet. They, and the rest of the world, are laughing at your boy.
