Trump says he bombed Iran

[quintessentone]

Col. Macgregor has interesting facts and whatifs to relay.

Leavitt is a total Muppet.

Separate topic.

I"m saying that the article is quoting an unnamed source who is supposedly leaking classified information.   

I'm doubting the article.

And TV news is saying the author of the article has a dubious past ... claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story was fake Russian propaganda, when in fact the laptop was very real and so were Hunters misdeeds.   I can't get to read the full article it's behind a paywall so I can't check to see who wrote it etc etc

I"m not buying the story.   It may be true ... but for now I"m not buying it.

Iran gets "re-governmented" very soon.

That's the only thing that could stop their nuclear weapons program.
Dropping bombs on their facilities and killing their scientists will just slow it down.

This reads like a sour grapes admittance coming from Bloomberg on something Trump did, speaks volumes. 

When the time came, Iranian "friends" stood down because of one man

2 great memes.
should we have been there? no. but i like the OPTIMISTIC opinion that Trump MAY have done a good thing with this latest action, by stopping NUTTY-YAHOO I mean Netanyahu from Nuking Tehran by striking first.

[putnam6]

all politicians do.   American.  English.  German.  Russian.  etc etc
If they are talking, you can bet that there are lies nestled somewhere in what they are saying.
It's best to assume that what they are saying is spin and at least somewhat inaccurate.
ALL OF 'EM.

Any self-respecting conspiracy theorist learns this early on, and so did most Americans 

 

AboveTopSecret.comAboveTopSecret.com, commonly abbreviated as ATS, was one of the longest-running and most influential online forums dedicated to conspiracy theories, alternative news, and fringe topics.

I can't catch up with all the pages growing in this thread so maybe some of this has been mentioned in34 through 45.

There is so much drama in this. Trumps bombing was just a message and display. Everybody across the globe saw it coming. All of it could have been prepositioned and done quietly. It wasn't. 
It was time to move uranium but it is now much more vulnerable to attack. Satellites watched the trucks come and go. 

China, Russia and Iran's neighbors may complain but nobody is going to do much because Iran and their proxies are too unstable and hurt business. 

This may be to help the population of Iran rise up. Maybe they need a boost and covertly ask Trump to participate in a way sparing infrastructure and lives. Three remote "secret" sites likely didn't have many folks around.

"Not for much of nuth'n, but anybody thinking any of the Iran facilities are still there, and any of their U that may have been Nuke Grade exists has to be total LOON  "

Anyone who believes your BS must be a total MAGA loon, too?

Perhaps you might have a source for that?

Have this, loon:

also some elements being reported by cnn: https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/politics/...lear-sites

an excerpt, see link for full cnn article:

Israel had been carrying out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities for days leading up to the US military operation but claimed to need the US’ 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs to finish the job. While US B-2 bombers dropped over a dozen of the bombs on two of the nuclear facilities, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment plant and the Natanz Enrichment Complex, the bombs did not fully eliminate the sites’ centrifuges and highly enriched uranium, according to the people familiar with the assessment.

Instead, the impact to all three sites — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — was largely restricted to aboveground structures, which were severely damaged, the sources said. That includes the sites’ power infrastructure and some of the aboveground facilities used to turn uranium into metal for bomb-making.

The Israeli assessment of the impact of the US strikes also found less damage on Fordow than expected. However, Israeli officials believe the combination of US and Israeli military action on multiple nuclear sites set back the Iranian nuclear program by two years, assuming they are able to rebuild it unimpeded which Israel would not allow. But Israel had also stated publicly before the US military operation that Iran’s program had been set back by two years.

Hegseth also told CNN, “Based on everything we have seen — and I’ve seen it all — our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the President and the successful mission.“

On Tuesday morning, Trump repeated his belief the damage from the strikes was significant.

“I think it’s been completely demolished,” he said, adding, “Those pilots hit their targets. Those targets were obliterated, and the pilots should be given credit.”
