Israel/USA - Iran Conflict - USA drop MOP's on Iran

[arista]

Now taking Press questions.

[bots]

More than two dozen cruise missiles launched at Iranian sites overnight

More from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who provides further technical details about last night's operations.

Caine says only a small number of "planners and key leaders" were informed about the plans. He says seven B-2 bombers were involved in the 18-hour flight into the target area.

Once the bombers reached Iranian airspace at approximately 17:00 local time (22:00 BST), a US submarine launched "more than two dozen" Tomahawk cruise missiles against "key targets" at the Isfahan nuclear site.

[The Slim Reaper]

the iranians stated categorically that they were not going to give up their nuclear ambitions, so there was no point waiting 2 weeks

Absolutely not true.

All this action now does, is put humanity a step closer to extinction, and has highlighted the need for all states to be armed with nukes.

Iran has been at the negotiating table forever. Israel attacked them to derail their on-going negotiations with the US, and now the US has done this.

Honestly, I have no idea where folks get their information from.

[The Slim Reaper]

there is no official statement on whether israel has nukes or not. Also, iran has stated on numerous occasions they want to wipe israel off the map, israel has not done so. Also, iran has been in conflict with many other gulf states and calls america the great satan. You think they should be trusted with nukes?

Israel has them and everyone knows they have them; what are you on about?

You have no idea about Iran at all, they have the 2nd largest Jewish population in the mid east (behind Israel), and the Jews there aren't threatened or living under tyrannical rule.

People need to read and educate themselves before writing out a stream of complete nonsense.

The US created the issues in Iran, with regime change, and installing a CIA puppet in post.

Folks around the world have genuine reasons to hate both the US and the Uk, and being called "the great Satan" does not give a country the right to break international law.

Bloodlust is going to get us all killed. Completely mental.

I've made a number of claims there, so if you can't counter them and instead have to resort to name-calling, who is really the indoctrinated one?

No attempt to prove anything that I said was incorrect, just the pretense that you know more, when you know nothing. Strange way to act, but go off, king.

Arista, Iran never left the negotiating table. That is a fact. Israel attacked them as negotiations were on-going, because they have been desperately trying to get the US to attack Iran for multiple decades.

Tyrannical is a big word, but no Non-muslims have it easy in Iran, and even the "wrong kind" of muslim (Sunni) gets the short end of the stick.

In terms of political representation, employment rights, and even practicing their faith, Jews (along with everyone else) don't live in what we'd call freedom.

Nobody said it was perfect. Iran is theocratic after all. However, who actually lives in complete freedom? Americans who can't even get healthcare? British people who can't even protest?

Israel is far more authoritarian and hostile towards the wrong kind of people, than Iran is. Iran isn't doing a genocide supported by the US/UK We have political parties in this country based on one policy of cruelty towards foreigners. They will win the next election. Iran doesn't have those policies.

People throw the perception of western freedom around as a stick to beat these inferior nations with, and we don't live in free societies, either.

Iran ‘on verge of regime change’, says former Trump adviser

John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, said the US strikes have left Iran “on the verge” of “regime change”.

Mr Bolton, who has been a frequent critic of his former boss, told CNN that the US president made the “right decision for America”, calling Iranian leadership “very vulnerable” and “in trouble”.

While he suggested Iran would be wary of taking on the US, he said it could seek to close the Strait of Hormuz to damage global shipping, strike US military or civilians, damage oil infrastructure, or launch terrorist attacks around the world.

In that situation, Mr Trump would have no choice but to use “brutal force against the Iranian regime”, he said.

So you've told me to shut it and now I'm a fascist because i believe SD should be for posts not pictures? I'm not trying to control what you post, I'm saying that no one, whether it's you, me, bots, or James, himself, should be spamming pics throughout SD in the middle of discussions which derails any dialogue.

No one is grateful for irrelevant pictures plastered on every page (although some will now come and say they are, because I've just written this). It's just been allowed to go on for so long, that now it's accepted, but as I said, James is trying to sort out SD, so now is a good time to get all of the rules confirmed so everyone knows where they stand.

If James says he's happy for you to continually derail discussions, then I have no issue with it either. I'm just stating that it clearly interrupts conversations, and I believe you should have a "front pages" thread for your newspaper spam, and SD shouldn't be full of pictures, when we have picture threads on the forum already.

I'm not asking or saying you shouldn't post, I'm just saying that SD is a problem on the forum, so it's time to clean house once and for all.

[Trump reveals where most of 'monumental damage'
was done in Iran nuclear 'obliteration'
as he calls for regime change]


[President Donald Trump revealed Sunday night
that 'monumental damage' has
been done 'to all nuclear sites in Iran' as he
called for a regime change in the Islamic country.

The US president wrote on his Truth Social page
that satellite images he obtained showed
the Iranian nuclear facilities were 'obliterated,'
and noted that the most damage
'took place far below ground level.'

'Bullseye!!!' he declared, hours after he suggested
Iran's current regime 'is unable to
MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN.']

President Putin has condemned President Trump’s “unprovoked aggression” against Iran which he said was “unjustified”.
Putin shook hands with Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, as they met to discuss the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, as well as recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Passing on a message from Ayatollah Khamenei, Aragachi said Iran thanked Russia for being on the “right side of history”.
Earlier, Reuters reported that Khamenei had personally written to Putin to ask for more support from Russia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed “deep regret” over the “new escalation of tensions in the region,” but dodged a question about whether Russia would offer military support to Iran, saying that any Russian assistance would “depend on what Iran needs”.

Why do you consider the US/Israel to be "in trouble?"

I am not against assisting our allies, I am against assisting our allies to conduct illegal operations, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Not because I'm a bad friend, but because that is the responsibility of a good friend.

if England was doing to Scotland (as an example), as us/the us/Israel are doing to Gaza and Iran, I wouldn't want other countries to aid us in genocide. There's a reason why these rogue states try to manufacture consent.

I think this is a worrying escalation of the conflict and very unwise.
I do fear the World is in an extremely dangerous and precarious situation on many fronts.
It's been made worse in part by Trump now.

Iran is a horrendously ruled Nation, where many of its citizens too are living in fear.
However I would not support Trump and the USA's actions.
Plus too, I see no reason whatsoever now, that the UK should jump to the tune of the USA particularly under Trump as to any future action Trump may want to take.
No way.

The leaders of the Nations of the World, I wish, would take a step back and consider the dangerous negative atmosphere there now is in areas of the World currently, which are now expanding and involving more and more.
However I think Trump was wrong.
...... and furthermore I feel pretty sure most of the Labour cabinet and its MPs in parliament would think he was wrong too.

Trump has just posted on social media, saying Iran's response was "very weak". He thanks them for "giving us early notice".

"Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered," the US president says on Truth Social.

He says 14 missiles were fired by Iran, 13 of which were "knocked down" and another headed in a "nonthreatening direction".

No Americans were harmed and "hardly any damage was done", he says. No Qataris were killed or wounded, Trump says.

"Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their 'system,' and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice," he says.

"Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same," he says.

i mean they literally sent 14 MOP's on those nuclear facilities, and they hit their targets, of course Iran doesn't want to admit that the US were successful with their mission


but 14 of those heavy bombs also won't have left much behind to investigate i think

from the bbc .....

I’m hearing from people in Iran’s northern Mazandaran province, who say that they have heard explosions there.

The IRGC-affiliated Fars news agency also says explosions have occurred in the city of Babolsar in Mazandaran province - located to the north of the capital Tehran.

Meanwhile, the semi-official Mehr and ISNA news agencies say that the ceasefire has been “violated” because there have been explosions in Babol and Babolsar cities in Mazandaran, with air defences activated there.

Iranian state TV has also acknowledged explosions in Babolsar. It cites a spokesperson for the the governor of Manzandaran, who says the details of the incident are not yet known.

We heard a few moments ago from the Israeli government that the IDF carried out strikes on a radar array near Tehran. It's not immediately clear if the strike is related to the explosions reported by Iranian media.

Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”

Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.” Another source said that the intelligence assessed enriched uranium was moved out of the sites prior to the US strikes.

“So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added.

The White House acknowledged the existence of the assessment but said they disagreed with it.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

Trump, who’s in the Netherlands attending this week’s NATO summit, pushed back on CNN’s report in a Truth Social post. “One of the most successful military strikes in history,” Trump wrote in the all-caps post adding, “The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed!”

The US military has said the operation went as planned and that it was an “overwhelming success.”

It is still early for the US to have a comprehensive picture of the impact of the strikes, and none of the sources described how the DIA assessment compares to the view of other agencies in the intelligence community. The US is continuing to pick up intelligence, including from within Iran as they assess the damage.

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.

…I mean, one of the things that we do know that Trump ‘obliterates’…is the truth…

it was never the long term answer. As long as iran are intent on making a nuke, they will do everything to achieve it. The only safe method is a constant monitoring program until they change their minds

:umm2:



even the civilians in Iran want this regime gone, for many many years now

[Nicky91]

if Israel and the USA didn't get involved here, i'm pretty sure there would've been a civil war soon in Iran



also Khamenei is in power for way too long, since end of 1980's :skull: no leader should remain in a position of power for that long

Sec. of Def Pete Hegseth just OBLITERATED the fake news on the Iran bomb report

"Why is there 'low confidence'? Because all of the evidence of what was just bombed by twelve 30lb bombs, is BURIED UNDER A MOUNTAIN!..So if you want to make an 'assessment of what happened at Fordow, you BETTER GET A BIG SHOVEL"

This was in place in the deal the Iranians made with Obama. Trump tore up that deal for no reason other than his ego. Iran had no intention of developing a nuke, but if I was them now, I would absolutely be desperate to get a nuke. Iran haven't been unreasonable or the bad guys here.

He says as the uranium enrichment agreement of no more than 4 percent, miraculously creeped up to 87 percent.. but we ain't making bombs, honest!

Pretty sure it's not up to 87% (closer to 60%), but I could be wrong. Like I said, the abilty to monitor was in the deal that Iran made with Obama, the minute that deal was torn up by Trump, Iran obviously saw the need to step things up. They tried being part of nuclear monitoring, they're not stupid, they know that American politicians and Israel have been talking about bombing them for decades.

Iran only started increasing their enrichment program in 2019, and no sane person would blame them if they were in their shoes. All of this violence set upon nations by the US/Israel, may impress a few dudes online, who like to talk tough and pretend they're ready to fight ze Russians at a minutes notice, but they are completely destabilizing the whole world and making everyone far less safe.

they can actually tell if the plant is still operational because it is basically a massive gas plant with very delicate centrifuges. It has an enourmous power/heat signature, so it's actually really easy to see if its running.

As to moving the uranium to another safe place. It's uranium gas that gets enriched, it's not a solid, so they would have to decant the gas into massive pressure vessels to transport it. Let alone anything else, it's unlikely they had sufficient pressure vessels to move it, and the process of transferring the gas from the plant to the vessels is not something that can be done in a short time

They may have enough enriched uranium to make 9 nuclear weapons. Yet trump is mak8mg the 2orld unsafe by destroying it all..ok...not Biden who wavered 15 billion of Iranian money, ad stood by wa5ching them begin enriching their uranium stockpiles to as high as 83 percent* not 87, and not 60... but 83 percent

[bots]

the figure thats generally referenced is 60%. Obviously, i have no idea if that figure is right or wrong., but like i said above, the enrichment process is a reaction of uranium gas, it's not a solid, so moving it anywhere else is not something that can be done in a week.

The figure of 98% is what is needed for it to be put in a warhead, but a dirty suitcase bomb can be created with a much lower enrichmant %

Ayatollah Khamenei says the US "failed to achieve anything significant" by attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities.

He says US President Donald Trump had made an “unusually exaggerated” account of what had taken place.

It was clear he needed to do it, says Khamenei - adding that anyone listening could tell the US were overstating things to distort the truth.

We attacked one of the US’s key bases in the region, and here, they tried to downplay it, he says.
