3 Iranian nuclear sites hit by America

This operation was not about destroying Iran's nuclear program. Satellite photos do not show the kind of damage that would indicate that the underground infrastructure had been destroyed. Entrances are buried and bunker busting bombs may have caused some structural damage, but there is no evidence of any sort of catastrophic structural failure of an underground nuclear bunker. And the fissile material and a lot of the centrifuges were moved well before the strikes.

This military operation was intended to get Iran to launch a response that would give Trump's Iran hawks the ability to go to Congress and get a declaration of war against Iran. M#GA's internal divide with Tucker, Bannon, MTG and others against the US entering a war with Iran could be reversed if Iran is linked to a terrorist attack on the US or if Iran's response to the strike goes too far.

The Iranians are not dumb. They will carry out a largely performative strike against a few small US bases in the region, but leave the big ticket items in the region untouched. Iran is really just in survival mode right now. They are looking for a way out of this conflict without having to look like they caved in to Israel and the US. A sustained campaign of missile and drone strikes on Israel will get Israelis to pressure Netanyahu to end the conflict. I expect this conflict will fizzle out by the first week of July.

I studied this area intensely in college. Instead of going into international law, I jumped on the technology bandwagon.

All I have to say is that we hit some **known** nuclear enrichment areas with frameworks for yielding excess plutonium but there are likely 3-to-6 locations that are hidden. The best way to asses for hidden underground lairs is with an aerial view of Iran and use the material implications from known locations and knowledge of resource deposits to hypothesize where hidden locations might exist.

For instance, this quick google search for an image, is missing a lot, in my opinion.

The questions are: where can there be a local resource of uranium, where is that resource enriched and, finally, where is there a reactor or that yields excess plutonium? The other thing we need to know is who were AQ Khan's successors? Khan was like an Einstein. The blueprints he and others laid out for the building of nuclear weapons live on.

Where there are underground lairs, you can also bet there are other things like centrifuges and freakin' laser beams. I am just saying, we hit a few main sites but there some we dont know about.

Iran has to hit and hit hard to let US know they will not simply roll over.

Russia and China cannot let US/Israel destory and regime change another nation in the ME (Iraq, Syria, Libya et al). Cannot let the crazy neocons get away with more aggression.

US govt is claiming Iraq told US they would carry our terror on US soil. Seems the neocons are prepping to get US public to support war with Iran.

According to NBC News, sources reported that Iran sent a communiqué to President Trump before U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, warning that it would activate sleeper-cell terror attacks inside the United States if attacked.
