So maybe is the already processed uranium.

Could be. Does it matter?

[Chomper Higgot]

Yet another war that has commenced with a belief on the part of the aggressor that the opening assault was decisive.

That is if there even was enriching, or enriched uranium, at that location.

 

Reports are that there is no increased radiation at the bombed sites, so could well be that Trump wasted a few billion of taxpayers money bombing a dud.

 

What makes you a supporter of Iran? Their hatred of America, their hatred of Israel, the muslim terrorism, the misogyny? Just curious

 (As posted above) A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Sunday most of the near weapons-grade 60% highly enriched uranium had been moved to an undisclosed location before the U.S. attack.

 

I don't know. Ask him.

They just lie. Without facilities, its just piles of rock. Im sure they know where those trucks went regardless

There was enriching as confirmed by the IAEA. Keep up. Destroying centrifuges stops them doing it again

Well it's very comforting to know that you're sure.

When it comes to the Israelis, I dont doubt much

[jerrymahoney]

Thank you. I'm so relieved. I have no expertise whatsoever in this area. I just start with Trump saying:

Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.

and from there try to find out what REALLY happened.

Maybe there will be press conference soon where Karoline Leavitt can say that Iran's weapons facilities have been INCREDIBLY obliterated.

Well since then Pentagon and the nuclear watchdog have made statements but you seem stuck on Trump all the time

[jerrymahoney]

I have noted those. Thank you. And I also look at Tampa where from the brains of this operations have been in planning for years.

Good for you, of course the final plans would have needed refining to suit the updated intel.

Of course not, but we don’t live in a perfect world do we?
The perpetrating aggressor has a narrow mission, to menace and kill as much as possible without discrimination. The defensive aggressor is attempting to contain it.

In the long term, there’s no telling how this story will play out, no one knows. Though it is much more interesting during these times maintaining an objective perspective, those who are jammed up on a particular political individual are really missing out.

I certainly have no warm feelings for those mullah's in Iran but I do not believe they are completely stupid, so any already enriched uranium would not have been stored at target number 1. Even some Maga's might agree on this.

"Operation Midnight Hammer" was known only to a small number of people in Washington and at the U.S. military's headquarters for Middle East operations in Tampa, Florida.

“In the long term, there’s no telling how this story will play out, no one knows.”

 

Let’s agree on that shall we.

 

And keep in mind the outcome of every other American war in the Middle East.

Lets agree also the US is not at war in the Middle East. If it is, when did that war start? When Biden and the UK was bombing Yemen?

Fair enough. What do you suppose the state/condition that the Middle East would be in right now if the US never stepped foot there? However that senecio would have played out, what repercussions would have incurred to the rest of the world? Or do believe that you’re insulated by the theoretical outcome I’m eluding to?

Since these trucks outside of the facility showed up on satellite, they were most likely tracked by satellite or by operatives on the ground.  If that is the case, this convoy will eventually be targeted for destruction.

How about last Saturday?

Don't be so impatient, the US laid the base principles for a war on that day. Just look at how the rest of the world, including ME countries, reacted to the event

How about last Saturday? What makes you think I am impatient? I hope Iran now comes to its senses and peace will prevail.

 

"Prime Minister Keir Starmer has offered Britain’s full support for the surprise US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, declaring that Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons represents “a grave threat to international security.” His endorsement came just hours after President Donald Trump confirmed that US forces had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, including the heavily fortified Fordow facility."

Your question was, when did the US start a war in the ME, and that is what my answer was directed at.

 

Good try at deflection, but no cigar

Rather than imagine the Middle East without US wars, examine what those wars have actually delivered.

It would be not a very surprising occurance to me, if Iran and Russia would start exchanging more than drone technology. The material needed to build a nuke is not more than a shipping container full, and the regime in Tehran knows now for certain that it is a question of literal survival to get a nuke as fast as possible and at any price.

 

War as the only "diplomatic" tool is a very short-sighted and limited tool and both the Iran and the USA have put themselves into the same primitive corner.

"War as the only "diplomatic" tool is a very short-" Well it certainly kept Germany in its box for decades; that's not very short is it?
