This is why............

Pretty accurate actually, read your own previous posts and false claims

Ryan claims its bluster and bull<deleted>, well not according to more reports coming out and you still ignore your previous false claims

What reports, like this one posted just a few posts up?

Maybe someone ran their mouth. Yes you Again your link does not support that claim. Also from your link, you know, the little details you refer to. "On Wednesday the defense secretary described the damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities by US and Israeli bombing as “moderate to severe”. He pledged there would be an FBI investigation of Pentagon leaks, but also claimed the leaked information was “false”. That said you also made a case for Iran not to let the IAEA come to inspect and check, interesting.

The IAEAs assessment is significant damage too.

No the journo bit is done by the media. The Israeli government's nuclear authority says US and Israeli strikes on Iran have rendered the Fordo underground enrichment site "inoperable". In a statement the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) says the "devastating" strike "destroyed the site's critical infrastructure". "We assess that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran's military nuclear program, has set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years," it says. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c20xel1e97gt?post=asset%3A36835929-e53c-4b06-8d4f-05df5794627e#post

Your link does not back your claims that it was not a "mission success"

Of course the Iran apologists will claim its a ruse and keep holding up the unfinished and preliminary DIA assessment and ignore everything else, bit like this.

Yes, Hamas fake reporting and its attacks on aid workers and civilians is dreadful.

I couldn't care less about Trumps claim on obliteration, not quoted his claims once about the damage, you can stand down with the personal off topic slurs now. Fail and just proves that Trump hate is more important than finding the most accurate estimates possible.

The same unfinished preliminary report we've been discussing for the last 3 pages......

So you admit unsubstantiated claims and now make additional claims it was also made known to them by the Chinese. Meanwhile the IAEA who has inspected the sites for years have not identified it

I think the US will test it beforehand after spending around half a billion developing them, your just clutching at straws now.

But the severity of damage inflicted on Iran’s nuclear program will probably give us some clues." Yes and that assessment currently is: “Given the explosive payload utilized and the extreme vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred,” Grossi added referring to the US bombing. IAEA chief expects ‘very significant damage’ at Iran’s Fordo site, demands access https://www.timesofisrael.com/iaea-chief-expects-very-significant-damage-at-irans-fordo-site-demands-access/

There's no established evidence or known military strategy suggesting Iran utilizes a diamond-shaped design for its nuclear facilities to divert missile trajectories. That's the first thing IAEA would have picked up in its reports

Iranian officials downplayed the attacks Yes they would. Its quite possible that the US in its development of the bombs were aware of this no? After all they had these plans in place for years, it was not done on the back of a fag packet last week without knowing of Irans concrete.........

This preliminary DIA report was incomplete and was not supposed to be released, nobody knows where they got their findings. They only have eyes in the sky, not eyes on the ground. Its the Intelligence Community (IC) which do have eyes on the ground.

Again? "An initial classified assessment found the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities set back Tehran's nuclear program by a matter of months, according to three sources familiar with its contents." That said they would have been very wise to move them.

Yes you'll be very pleased to know that they may have moved the Uranium. Together with your theory of why Iran should not give permission to IAEA then everything's good. Oh wait. “Given the explosive payload utilized and the extreme vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred,” Grossi added referring to the US bombing. IAEA chief expects ‘very significant damage’ at Iran’s Fordo site, demands access https://www.timesofisrael.com/iaea-chief-expects-very-significant-damage-at-irans-fordo-site-demands-access/

Oh ok, so unnamed officials again. Bit like the un named leak of a report that nobody has seen

there was discomfort at the military planer level that he was saying a little too much. Can you link to that claim please

The attacks on Iran’s nuclear program have provided Iran a very strong argument for denying all foreign access to whatever remains of the program, equipment and materials. Yea that's a good theory for you to play with in support of Iran, well done

Even the rabidly rightwing press Pathetic. "Rafael Grossi says no one is in a position to assess damage from US attacks; says accounting for Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium necessary to end conflict, bring peace" IAEA chief expects ‘very significant damage’ at Iran’s Fordo site, demands access https://www.timesofisrael.com/iaea-chief-expects-very-significant-damage-at-irans-fordo-site-demands-access/

Any more questions you want to throw hope one sticks? You may want to try and keeps things in context, the so called assessment was a preliminary one, others have been published since and as the IAEA has stated, the sites need inspecting. Exact assessments of the damage — which require access to the sites that Iran is unwilling to grant — may never take place. US strikes on Iran believed to have set back nuke program by two years Saturday’s US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities set back the Islamic Republic’s atomic weapons capabilities by roughly two years, American and Israeli officials and experts tell The Post — adding that Tehran remains “highly incentivized” to pursue a bomb. https://nypost.com/2025/06/24/world-news/heres-how-long-us-strikes-may-have-set-back-irans-nuclear-program/ Its not surprising you are diminishing the impact of such a successful mission
