   BTW , could you post the photos of the "dozens of trucks leaving" ?

 

Sure, here  you go.

   Yes, that shows photos of trucks , it doesn't show photos of trucks evacuating nuclear material like you claimed

Lol, those trucks are leaving the nuclear facility.

 

What do you think they were evacuating? Potato chips?

 

They most likely evacuated equipment and enriched uranium, but of course nobody knows exactly what this huge column of trucks was transporting away. You think it was potato chips?

   The video just shows trucks  in the area , it doesn't actually show them evacuating anything .

   You are just guessing what they were doing there .Could have been bringing in supplies , who knows

I think given that you didn't have to be Bobby Fisher to figure out that those nuclear facilities would be bombed, it is fairly reasonable to assume that this giant column of trucks is transporting those materials away which the US and Israel wanted to destroy, but Iran wanted to keep.

 

Just a wild guess.

   Could be that those bunkers are the safest place in Iran , enforced so the bunker bombs couldn't do any damage and Iran moved all their supplies there underground . 

   Where would Iran be taking these bombs anyway ?

As Indian TV has got footage, I doubt whether Israel would have any difficulty locating 16 trucks in Iran

Well, they clearly had some difficulty in destroying the Fordow nuclear facility. They announced it was destroyed, but then the US bombed it again. Why would they bomb an already destroyed nuclear facility? Israel had already announced it was destroyed. Guess it wasn't.

No they did not bomb it again, stop lying, Israel bombed some approach roads thats all. Link to that has already been posted

Isn't congressional approval required before war/

Article 1 of US Constitution.?

That pesky document.!

I would suggest you read the constitution again, specifically Article II Powers of the President. 
 

These powers have been affirmed in modern times via the numerous US Presidents who have taken specific & limited military action to protect the nation.

These powers supersede the War Powers Act as the Constitution can only be revised via a Constitutional Amendment.
 

Congress does have the power to formally ‘Declare War’ but it is not stated they hold power higher than the Commander in Chief to take military action. Additionally Congress has the power to defund military actions (ex: Vietnam War) thus preventing further action.

'UNUSUAL ACTIVITY'
Several experts also cautioned that Iran likely moved a stockpile of near weapons-grade highly enriched uranium out of Fordow before the strike early Sunday morning and could be hiding it and other nuclear components in locations unknown to Israel, the U.S. and U.N. nuclear inspectors.

They noted satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies showing "unusual activity" at Fordow on Thursday and Friday, with a long line of vehicles waiting outside an entrance of the facility. 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 think you can with great confidence do anything but set back their nuclear program by maybe a few years," said Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. "There's almost certainly facilities that we don't know about.

so they have satellite images of the facility with trucks outside but then they stopped watching to see were the trucks went.   

Keep believing everything the media says! They are on air to make money, they dont care about real news.

It's a pity the Worlds Police didn't start bombing Moscow when they began killing Ukrainian Civilians. Maybe there's nothing to gain for the US in bringing down Putin but all the Oil flowing through the Gulf well that has potential for the USA.

The US exports oil and is one the largest oil producers in the world, also you do realize Russia has allot of oil too. 

 

Comparing Russia and Iran is nonsense.

Russia has nuclear bombs (5,000+) and they might use them. 

 

Iran doesn't have any Nuclear bombs and the current situation is to prevent them from creating one, as Iran will use it. 

Iran keeps saying they want nuclear for civil purposes, which everyone knows is lie. 

 

Did the US do the right thing? dont know. Praying this doesn't lead to war.

\   Do try and follow the discussion, that was when  the USA bombed it again .

   Who had previously announced that Fordow had been destroyed .

Below is the discussion : 

 

 

"Well, they clearly had some difficulty in destroying the Fordow nuclear facility. They announced it was destroyed, but then the US bombed it again."

The administration of Presidents Bush, Obama and Biden made this possible. MOP development efforts date to at 2002. In 2009, Boeing was awarded contracts to complete aircraft integration with MOP. Although, the MOP was first delivered in late 2011, the current model GBU-57 that uses a BLU-127 series explosive device capable of neutralizing a mountain embedded target only became available in 2019.  This was during Trump's first term of office.  The point is that it takes time to develop an effective weapon and the USA and Boeing did just that.

 

How about acknowledging the contribution that the administrations of Bush, Obama and Biden made, and  how about recognition of Boeing's work? Delivery of the payload without any hostile interference came courtesy of the Israeli airforce who silenced the Iranian air defence. The Israelis performed brilliantly, and the US delivery of the payload is on another level of mission excellence. It was the dream outcome of a high risk operation. The ability to keep it quiet  merits praise for all participants. And President Trump deserves some praise too. He had everyone fooled. Totally suckered the Iranians into thinking they had him on the ropes. The man knew what he was doing.

Failed spectacular in most theatres of war from Nam to Blackhawk down and botched Osama's take out. Couldn't run a Tap let alone a battle plan. Oh and of course the freeing of the American Hostage's when there special forces crashed on-route to rescue them in the desert. Yes God bless America.

Iran has launched missile strikes on at the American base at Al-Udaid  airbase in Qatar and a US Base in Iraq in the last 10 minutes. Six Missiles were fired at  the base.

"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?

 

You mean Germany, the economic superpower and second-biggest weapons exporter on the planet?

 

Let's hope that Iran is not similarly boxed in, as learning Farsi for doing business is not an easy language...

More assessments coming, this time from the IAEA chief. Of course unless someone actually visits then the true extend of damage will never be known but we do know that the centrifuges are extremely delicate and it seems severe damage was indeed inflicted on all the sites struck including Fordow

 

IAEA chief expects 'very significant damage' at Iran's Fordow site

"Given the explosive payload utilised and the extreme(ly) vibration-sensitive nature of centrifuges, very significant damage is expected to have occurred," Grossi added.

Beyond the level of damage done to Fordow's underground enrichment halls, one of the biggest open questions is the status of its stock of enriched uranium, particularly its more than 400 kg of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, a short step from the roughly 90% that is weapons grade.

That is enough, if enriched further, for nine nuclear weapons, according to an IAEA yardstick, though Iran says its intentions are peaceful and it does not seek atom bombs.

'Damaged beyond repair’: Military analyst shows before and after photos of Iran’s nuclear site

US airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility have left at least six large craters, indicating the use of bunker-busting bombs, a CNN analysis of satellite imagery found. CNN military analyst Col. Cedric Leighton (Ret.) analyzes the satellite images that show the damage before and after US strikes.
