So much for “obliterating” Iran’s nuclear program… sounds like we just set the program back by a few months

Those reports don't make a lot sense to me

A lot of it doesn’t, but when your options for reliable information are Iran, the Mainstream Media and Donald Trump’s Truth Social feed, we weren’t working from a lot.

I mean a nuclear reactor is gonna suffer major major damage to the explosions we saw with our own eyes

Feels to me like propaganda for further escalation

I obviously don’t want any further escalation but I guess my only question is if any sort of key components are mobile in some way, though I know a lot isn’t. They weren’t exactly quiet about hitting Iran’s nuclear sites in the days leading to the strike.

Those bombs obliterated the entrances to this reactor under the mountain and they dropped 400,000 pounds of bombs directly on the facility. How exactly is Iran going to rebuild all of that in a couple months?

They also know the US is watching their every move. What reason would Trump have to not just bomb the facility again if they got intel it was up and running again.

Seems like that’s what common sense would tell ya

But then again

My favorite response from the government to a news story always has to be when they call it an illegal leak *and* a hoax. But I guess unfortunately we can throw out that “congratulations on no leaks” cake for Hegseth.

Seems like most credible reporting is arriving at the (obvious imo) consensus that the massive targeted bombing campaign did a bit more than a “couple months” of damage.

Nah dude. CNN reported that we didn't hurt anything, right after the reported that Trump took control of the Beast to take it to the insurrection

Oh man what a shocker

Crazy how many love to hear bad news about the US
