@jon-nyc Interesting video. Just wondering why it was necessary to send decoy planes to the west.
(Minor point, but Who are they trying to fool? I think everybody pretty much knew what was potentially going to happen. The Iran nuclear plants are so big and so complex, it is not like you could pack things up, put them in a car trunk and drive it somewhere else.)

We’ll see what comes of this.
It’s not the 70’s. That will negatively affect UAB, Oman, and Asian countries. China, Japan, South Korea, etc… Very little of that oil goes to the west.

Wow. Fourteen MOPs.
Imagine the impact. They drop a 30,000lb skinny aerodynamic bomb from 40,000 ft. It’s going Mach 1+ when it hits. 80% of the weight is the casing. It can go through 200ft of 5,000 psi concrete. Then the 5,000 bomb goes off.

How about the Trump admin managing not to leak any details of this op before it happened. I'm proud of them.

Apparently there were leaks if you run in conservative columnist circles.
Also NYT gave a heads up that it was imminent but that was an Israeli source.

One step away from a ridiculous conspiracy theory. Careful there. I'm sure the buzz didn't make its way to twitter, out of deference to the administration.
