Of course they will say that so they don't get bombed again any time soon!!

If they said "you missed all is well" they would be bombed to oblivion!

I've worked with Iranians for many years at fairly high levels. Their lies will never be so simple. They are masters at the art.

 

Here is more on the Foreign minister's comments. Long, click to read in full.

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.

No, gleeful that trump announced obliteration without proper intel.

 

Because improper intel leaked the opposite?

Well thanks for your spirited defense of the obviously exaggerated claims of ‘mission success’

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

Off topic post making unsubstantiated claims of Trump dementia and numerous hear say claims has been removed. Please read the OP

No, because success or not is not clear. But trump always has to be seen as the winner, hence unsubstantiated claims.

I think little details like this matter:

 

“The DIA assessment also found that much of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which would provide the fuel for making any future nuclear warhead, had been moved before the strikes and may have been moved to other secret nuclear sites maintained by Iran.”

 

“Trump Confirms Surprise US Airstrikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Including Fordo”

 

It seems there wasn’t enough surprise.

 

Maybe someone ran their mouth.

Well, they did have 60 days to move them, and the left is still howling that he moved too fast. 

To be fair to Trump, and in recognition of the need not to try to read between the lines of what he says, he never actually said”

 

“Hey Iran, we’ve got some bunker busting bombs that we are going to drop on your underground nuclear facilities, it might be an idea to relocated stuff you don’t want to lose”.

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.

From the artical:

 

Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan of New York said on X on Tuesday that “Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation. The real reason? He claims he destroyed ‘all nuclear facilities and capability;’ his team knows they can’t back up his bluster and BS.”

The house defense committee has a duty of oversight and a right to examine intel evidence.

With references to a damage assessment.

It's amusing that:

 

The left was howling that Iran had no nuclear weapon program. 

 

Then Trump bombs Iran's nuclear weapon program. 

 

And now the left is howling that Trump's bombing failed to destroy Iran's nuclear weapon program.

Here's an assessment. Not a news story about a leak about a classified assessment that no one has seen because it is still classified. Also see www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-858987

From the above post:

 

⚡️Israel Atomic Energy Commission:

“The devastating US strike on Fordow destroyed the site's critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable.”

 

From NY Times update:

 

As part of his effort to counter the preliminary intelligence report from the Pentagon, Mr. Trump, during his news conference, read part of a statement from the Israel Atomic Energy Commission.

 

“The devastating U.S. strike on Fordo destroyed the site’s critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility totally inoperable,” the president said.

 

The statement, which the White House had distributed earlier, did not contain the word “totally,” but Mr. Trump inserted it.

The latest new high-resolution satellite images from Maxar reveal extra damage by the US and Israel

 

The Iran apologists will hate this.

 

The volume of grey dust visible in some of the satellite images may be sign of the level of destruction beneath the surface, analysts believe. "Deep below ground detonations of sufficient magnitude to expel the concrete as described would cause significant blast damage to underground structures," said Trevor Lawrence, head of the Centre for Energetics Technology, Cranfield University and an expert on effect of explosions. "Given the complexity of building these structures, significant damage is very unlikely to be repaired in the short term, if at all."

 

Previously unseen damage in the images reveal total wipe out of certain nuclear facilities. Particularly notable is the uranium conversion facility at Isfahan. You can't make a nuclear bomb with a conversion facility and that place is no longer on this planet!

 

"You can't do a nuclear weapon without a conversion facility, yet we can't even find where it is, where it used to be on the map - because the whole thing is just blackened out… it's gone… wiped out."

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdr3xxdrynko

From the above NYT via archive link:

 

International inspectors and nuclear experts agree that the extensive damage to the conversion facility created a key bottleneck in the weapons-making process, and agreed that rebuilding it would most likely take years. But that assumes that Iran did not build another conversion plant in secret, as part of an insurance policy against the destruction of its declared facilities, which are inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Its so much fun to watching the Iran lovers and America/Jew haters squirm. Give me plenty of thumbs down, express that frustration!!

 

Trump winning! America winning! Israel winning! Hows that feel boys? Almost as good as the election, wonder how many Iranian lovers are gonna slink away and reappear later as trolls
