US Strikes Iran

“We have degraded their program by one to two years, at least intel assessments inside the Department [of Defense] assess that,” Defense Department spokesman Sean Parnell told reporters.

"degraded" by "1-2 years" is not the same thing as "total obliteration!"

"degraded" by "1-2 years" is not the same thing as "total obliteration!"

And the MAGAt mouthpiece was broadly referring to Iran’s “nuclear program” - as in - “the entire nuclear program” when he said “1-2 years”.



Notice the MAGAt mouthpiece was careful to avoid including Iran’s ability to engage in a “breakout” nuclear weapons project in that “1-2 years” estimation of how far the bunker buster bombing, etc, set things back.



The MAGAt mouthpiece was also careful to emphasize that it’s just an assessment (which could be wrong on multiple counts).



Considering the 400 kilos of enriched Uranium is unaccounted for, and the fact that several nuclear sites in Iran show signs of intense activity and progress, the operating theory should be that the current Iranian regime is racing to develop a nuclear weapon (and likely with major assistance from Russia, China, & North Korea - and maybe others)



Sans regime change, the bombing has accomplished very little - and possibly made things worse (more dangerous as far as a nuclear armed Iran is concerned) imho.



We shall see…

New Assessment Finds Site at Focus of U.S. Strikes in Iran Badly Damaged​

A clearer picture begins to emerge of what the Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites achieved.

The new assessment helps create a clearer picture of what the combined Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran achieved. The bombings deeply damaged Fordo — considered by the Iranians to be their best-protected and most advanced nuclear enrichment site — probably crippling Iran’s ability to make nuclear fuel for years to come.
