????????
The roads and facilities are still standing. I wouldn’t exactly call that decimated.
How many millions of dollars US did it cost to punch big holes in the earth?
I don’t doubt the USA military gave Trump exactly what he wanted, but, what EXACTLY did this accomplish?
It isn’t anywhere near obliterated. Trump’s strategy failed to accomplish his goal. It is not the military’s fault. They did as they were ordered.
The blue color could be Iranian turquoise. Iran has rather nice turquoise they mine.
There is heightened alert in the USA.
Look.
This alert could be anyone.
The terrorist list has to contain opportunists as well. Domestic terrorists including racists are on the list.
Former President Biden could have done the same thing. The military readiness was there. He didn’t. His reasons why might be interesting.
Please take no chances. Protect what and whom are important.
In Trump’s egotistical haste…
…Iran is correct. The USA violated international norms, including peace negotiations that only just began. How is Iran to proceed with peace negotiations when it has no reliable partners?
Trump must be removed from office so the American people have a sincere leader rather than an administrative hate machine.
Iran needs to proceed with the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council to demand war reparations and the end of hostilities. Iran must allow international help.

Hegseth has no meaningful assessment
The administration is mired in self-admiration and chest thumping.
I appreciate the meticulous detail provided by General Dan Caine. The USA is the world’s only superpower. General Caine knew its capacity and protected American lives all along the way. Thank you to all involved.
The ongoing assessments are necessary. There were 17 bunker bombs dropped on two of the facilities. There are going to be radiation leaks. Iran doesn’t have the capacity to contain them. Early containment is crucial. Iran must come to terms with the very dangerous potential of this deployment of USA ordinance.
Iran was an enemy target of the USA based in its alliance with Israel. Iran is due war reparations and should demand it to end the radiation danger to the Iranian people. Iran cannot prioritize war over it’s people’s safety and that of the region. The region needs to encourage a different path for Iran other than continued hatred and war.
Initially there won’t be radiation spread.
There was no mushroom cloud. Long term monitoring will tell the tale. There is an explosion with these bombs once it impacts the bottom of its self created chamber.
I have no doubt there is a death toll in Iran. The people near these facilities should be distributed potassium iodide initially as a precaution.
If the chambers can be immediately sealed it might be far less a problem for Iran and a larger community. Iran needs cooperation from the United Nations. The IAEA should be given immediate access to the safe extent possible.
Stop plotting retaliation immediately. There is a greater danger.
We have no way of knowing the direction of any radiation leak.

There maybe a high press system at the moment over Iran but if the radiation leaks are not contained by the depth of the disrupted earth, we could be seeing winds carrying unknown levels of radiation contamination globally. Three facilities were rawly penetrated. There is no containment.
NASA has some sophisticated satellites measuring levels of gases of Earth all the time. NASA may be able to assess the radiation early now and continue it going forward. Europe has some satellites as well. Trump is nothing but an ego driven fool.

Come on. Iran tell the world.
Iran needs to make their case against Trump to the world as well as the ICC. Iran has plenty of drones to visualize the pain inflicted on Iran’s people.
Iran needs robots to assess the damage no different than that used at Chernobyl.
Trump broke off diplomacy almost as quickly as he says it. That is only the beginning. Iran must make its case against him. If the bombs punched wholes in the Earth at all the sites and radiation readings must be told as well as the extent it leaks to affect the people.
Assad’s barrel bombs will be nothing compared to Trump’s bunker bombs.
The Ayatollah needs to make his case. Stop being in shock and making accolades. Accept the catastrophic reality and report what he did.
Trump has no respect for life
He needs to be removed from office.
He is dangerous internationally as well as domestically. He and the Republicans nearly starved not only every benevolent program internationally through an executive order as one of his first acts as president, but, also through his ugly budget bill in nearly cancelling the national food stamp program.
Trump is a horrid human being that practices hate, fear, and instilling pain and catastrophe. There is no good descriptor for him. He is unadulterated evil.
I can only imagine what the USA military is going through right now.

We don’t know the extent of contamination.
NATO needs to be on alert.
Parts of Europe are within the reach of Iran. Maybe Trump is the madman Putin was hoping for after all.
The IAEA had reported the Natanz facility (click here) had contamination. I don’t know, at this point if the IAEA will be allowed into Iran or how any contamination can be contained without help from Russia or other countries.
If Iran is to contain any leaks it may mean building more sarcophagus. Those decisions should be made soon. I doubt if Iran can conduct those operations alone.
The Iranian people are at risk.

Russia only began to remove their people yesterday.
Trump is dangerous and unpredictable.
Two weeks is supposed to mean two weeks.
Congress must recognize a president out of control.
Iran was never a direct threat to the USA.
Iran was not an eminent threat.
His decorum is not one of a president. No one uses the word spectacular in describing a bombing of another country. Trump is out of line and grossly inappropriate.
Trump doesn’t know that anything has been obliterated. Dropping a bomb is not a guarantee of anything except dropping a bomb.
I respect Justice Jackson a great deal.
From where I sit she has the greatest accuracy in decision making of the cases before the court. I hold her in higher regard than the Late Justice Ginsberg.
Justice Jackson has it correct. The conservatives are losing their legitimacy. Maybe they want to make that shift.
This decision is political through and through. The Late Justice Ginsberg not only included global climate change in her decisions she included allies when it applied to the focus of the law.
Justice Jackson should keep writing like it matters. We keep reading it like it does.
The fact of the matter is no matter how much the current administration wishes the climate crisis away to suit it’s cronies, Earth is non-partisan and it’s climate isn’t accommodating increases in greenhouse gas emissions at all. California has been experiencing some of the worst of the climate crisis. And, oh by the way, it was all happening within the sovereign borders of California, not the the globe.
We have him on the run.
In all honesty, it looks like Trump has the risk in attempting to oppress a free society.
Hobble the First Amendment? Now, is the time for the opposite, unleash freedom of speech.
The Federal Reserve Chair?
That person had to be able to perform math functions. Trump can’t. He has had a bankruptcy every time the law allowed.
War
Wars are not an answer to anything. Wars are temporary and unsustainable. How long was the USA in Iraq and today all we hear is how we should have never left. The USA was in Afghanistan for twenty years and longer considering the history before bin Laden and where is Afghanistan today?
A free country should only go to war when forced into it. It is the respect we deserve. Other countries don’t want to waken the beast of our bombs, war machines, and soldiers. They are wicked.
The USA can sustain a battlefield forever as its people are highly industrious and determined. The question is why? Is a forever sustainable war actually a victory?
Peace can be the foundation of the world if it chooses it. The ideologies of difference can be propagated into a sustainable world that is prosperous but it has to choose it. In the USA there is an ideology in Christian Nationalism that is toxic to any hope for peace.
The world has to choose peace. It won’t happen with war as it’s under pinning. It will happen out of free will and determination.

Tragedy
That is what is to be expected when powers go it alone.
I would think Iraq was enough.
Did the Republicans say tax cuts?
I think they call it mission creep.
Iran has some of the most sophisticated USA military technology that exists.
This isn’t the only time Iran has retrieved drone technology. A top of the line drone was shot down while running surveillance out of Afghanistan. Where do you think Russian drones originated from? Who is assisting Russia with its Ukraine assaults?
The only reason Iran isn’t more successful with Israel already is because of sanctions on it and on Russia.
War? Attempting to bomb Iran into oblivion when the global community already has protested the killing in Gaza? What makes anyone think Iran is going to be alone when it’s allies like Russia, China, and North Korea want nothing more than end NATO.
Trump is lining up the USA military to engage Iran as an ally of Israel, does Trump assume Iran’s allies are sitting on their hands? The truth is they are waiting to spring a much larger trap.

Why. does Israel assume it can’t be destroyed?
Iran is not Gaza.
There is no doubt Iran has been enriching uranium beyond that of any peaceful use. That came out at the UN Security Council meeting. The IAEA has been diligently following Iran’s progression. Why does Israel believe bombing is going to yield the desired outcome?
Attempting to bomb Iran’s nuclear tendencies into oblivion will result in only one thing; Iran’s determination to have nuclear military capacity. War will not bring Iran from the breech, it will force the country into nuclear military capacity. With war raging there is absolutely no reason to stop the progression forward into nuclear armament.
The strategy Trump is proposing with Israel is based in ego and not military capacity. The foolishness being proposed as if it was at all possible will not result in a failed state in Iran, but, Israel could be destroyed. The land mass of the two countries alone dictates a far different outcome than what is being envisioned. Israel cannot sustain major assaults on its land for any reasonable period.
Netanyahu sees this as an opportunity to end Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Iran is a sovereign power with capacity beyond what Israel estimates. How many scientists did Israel kill? Yet, the enrichment went forward. Israel forgets the Iran that was before the fall of the Shah. Those people and their intellectual culture still persists. The Iranian protesters are more successful than Israel will ever be.
There is no doubt Iran’s nuclear capacity has to be stopped. But, war? Bombing? The global community needs to take a hard line against such a strategy before it is too late.
