US strikes on Iran set nuclear program back by months

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.”

QED. Now you are ranting about Musk. The dude is back shooting rockets and selling electric cars. We understand that you hate Trump with every fiber of your soul. But get the **** over it. He's only five months into a four year run and you're are already giving yourself a flipping aneurysm

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?

Because the Felon in Chief was played by the indicted Netanyahu.

Tell me, how would CNN or any other leftist news outlet know? Just the Iranians actions of this cease fire should tell you enough that you are full of crap. It's hilarious to watch the leftist Democrats support Iran and call Trump a fascist. Of course, you may just be a Trump supporter and want more bombing. Which is it?

The leak from the DoD told them. But don't worry. trump will quickly falsify the report to suit his needs.

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.

But you can expect trump to pressure his intel agencies to cook the facts to meet his needs. By the time there are congressional hearings, the intel will say, Iran was "within weeks" of building a nuke. trump makes statements and then cooks the facts to his liking.

It’s the Trump administration. This is how they operate. I’m posting the truth. You’re just emotional and pathetic.

You’re too ******* stupid to understand reality.

True. Trump is swimming in waters far too deep for him. Trump thinks he is the conman, when he is actually the mark.

All you have to do is tell him how smart or pretty he is, and you and twist him into whatever shape you want. He is a man/child.

*and offer him the bragging rights. Same as offering a huge Trump sign on the new hotel. The little mouse will press the lever, every time.

Yay more endless warfare!

…or 12 hours…..

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

Why? Because the nuke program they claim they didn’t have was destroyed?

That keeps escaping them

US Air strickes set back Iran's nuclear program by just months, report says

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.

Its too soon to even know that, and YOU believe it. It's a guarantee Iran will lie about outcomes, and those who hate Trump will repeat it.

Yep, sources say, with no evidence.

haha, beating that dead horse I see, if he was a felon he would be in jail, he's not and he's running the USA therefore all you can do it ***** that the system does not work in your favor when you want it to, that's all you got

Regardless of all this propaganda and misinformation being created by the DSA Marxist Democrats and the Quisling Media, Iran has agreed to a "Cease Fire" with Israel.
This can be directly attributed to Trump's orders to send U.S. B-2 bombing of the three nuclear sites...
Whatever damage has been sustained to these sites must have been more than enough to convince the Ayatollah to come to agree to stop fighting...

 

[braalian]

Well, I'd say it was a very good week for the Trump, Israel and the rest of the world. It was a very bad week for the mullahs.

I actually think Trump accomplished a lot and support the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities

But it’s amazing that Trump can’t control himself and that he is so obsessed with theatrics and showmanship. He treats the presidency like it’s some reality show competition

Hegseth came out and stated what Trump did. A total success. You won’t know this because you watch CNN and I watch Fox News.

well...........it's his personality, the fact he had a TV show, trump will go down as one of the most interesting presidents we have ever have, love him or hate him, he's extremely unique to say the least

the OP is posting leftist opinions and wishful thinking ..


the DOD and the IAEA says otherwise ..

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/iaea-chief-expects-very-significant-damage-irans-fordow-site-2025-06-23/

The DOD did not comment in that article, and the IAEA chief simply said he expects severe damage, which no one is disputing. Try harder.
