Findings by Defense Intelligence Agency suggest Trump’s declaration that sites were ‘obliterated’ may be overstated
An initial classified US assessment of Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend says they did not destroy two of the sites and likely only set back the nuclear program by a few months, according to two people familiar with the report.
The report produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency – the intelligence arm of the Pentagon – concluded key components of the nuclear program, including centrifuges, were capable of being restarted within months.
The report also found that much of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium that could be put to use for a possible nuclear weapon was moved before the strikes and may have been moved to other secret nuclear sites maintained by Iran.
Hey at least it’s not next week like Netanyahu said right? Right?!
Anyone else notice the government waste and inefficiency?
How much did it cost US to fly a fleet of bombers around the globe?
Like 2 billion dollars-ish.
Could have just bought the uranium from the Iranians smh
So tons of innocent civilians killed, future terrorist created for a couple of months amazing incompetence
I thought I had read that Iran knew the US was coming and had removed all personnel (and uranium if you believe everything in the news) ahead of time. And even then reporting right afterwards showed we purposely avoided bombing buildings that would actually contain nuclear material, no doubt because this was so Trump could toot his own horn about helping Israel without actually doing much harm to Iran (who has Russia as an ally - and Putin likely pulling Donnie’s strings).
This is like deleting your hard drive and forgetting about the NAS in your closet.
The Iranian nuclear program is an energy program. We know this because independent inspectors were allowed inside the country to verify that they were only making energy. The last time the US claimed a country was developing nuclear weapons, a million Iraqis died and no nukes were found.
I mean that is a far fetch because you do not need 60% enriched uranium for energy purposes.
