Israel vs Iran

[Tero]

No news on leaks, but the uranium in the centrifuging area is stored in some sort well capped form, as UF6 can sublime out of a bottle.

Fordo: Iran built this site — where centrifuges concentrate uranium to a form used in nuclear weapons — inside a mountain to shield it from attacks. The U.S. military concluded that one “bunker-buster” bomb would not destroy it. So six B-2 bombers dropped a dozen of these 30,000-pound weapons, a U.S. official said. The attack was the first time the military had used the weapon in combat. See how the powerful bombs work.
Natanz: This is the largest uranium enrichment site in Iran. Its centrifuge halls are also buried deep underground, but experts say this site is less secretive and less heavily fortified. Israel struck the site recently with warplanes; the U.S. struck it with cruise missiles launched from submarines.
Isfahan: The U.S. also hit a site that holds Iran’s largest nuclear fuel stockpiles near the ancient city of Isfahan. Israel hit parts of the facility last week but avoided the fuel.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog said it had not detected any increase in off-site radiation levels at the nuclear sites the U.S. attacked. Read the latest news.
Benjamin Netanyahu said that the U.S. strikes had been carried out “in full coordination” between the American and Israeli militaries.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been in a bunker, with limited communication, to protect him from possible assassination.

Netanyahu and Trump need to be put in a retirement home. I'm sick of everyone's crazy uncle making all of the important decisions.

[Svartalf]

nope, not a retirement home, unless you make a supermax one at guantanamo... and fetch Lynndie England to be the warden

The best summation of the bombing of Iran came from George Conway.
“A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.”

The B2 flew from Missouri, but Omaha has had a part in all US operations the last 20 years.

Nonsense. Biden enabled and facilitated the Israeli regime just as much as Trump has. Trump has just been more upfront about it.

1. Trump pulls out of agreement with Iran in 2018.
2. After embarrassing parade, 'No Kings' protests, G7 shame and flag poles, Trump threatens Iran to feel manly again.
3. Drops bombs on Iran.
4. Claims victory.
5. Shoots down Iranian missiles (that he'd been tipped off by Iran), that were inbound to Qatar & Iraq.
6. Claims bigger victory.
7. Announces ceasefire from all parties.
8. Israel fire more missiles in to Tehran.
9. Trump looks even more stupid than he did an hour ago

Just a joke.

Naughty, naughty Trump...

Amazing that we can see blown up children in Gaza, but they have to bleep out the word because the viewers might be offended.

You'd be upset as well if your intelligence came back saying that the $500 million bombs did very little damage.

[L'Emmerdeur]

Newly intercepted communication in Iranian government saying the bombing caused less damage than they expected. Trump's official noisemaker bleats that the Iranians couldn't have definite knowledge of the damage. She thereby implies that either Trump is lying when he makes claims on the topic or that somehow Trump has better info on the results of the bombing 'under hundreds of feet of rubble' than the Iranian government.

The Trump administration did not dispute the existence of the intercepted communication, which has not been previously reported, but strenuously disagreed with the Iranians’ conclusions and cast doubt on their ability to assess the damage at the three nuclear facilities targeted in the U.S. operation.

“It’s shameful that The Washington Post is helping people commit felonies by publishing out-of-context leaks,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “The notion that unnamed Iranian officials know what happened under hundreds of feet of rubble is nonsense. Their nuclear weapons program is over.”
