The Iran Nuclear Program thread

Whatever the normal staffing I’d imagine it’s a lot more this week.

I'm surprised they haven't opened a day care and a hospital on the ground floor.

Negotiaters? Defectors? VIPs looking for a safe quiet weekend?

I was thinking this morning that it was weird that the WH leaked that there was going to be a statement from Trump last night, but ultimately there wasn't.

But then I remembered yesterday was Tuesday....

[jon-nyc]

I just hope they weren't carrying weapons-grade uranium.

[Mik]

Yes. That's the nightmare. And consistent with Iran's recent rhetoric.

[bachophile]

Alert from home front. Incoming….

[jon-nyc]

Luke Skywalker to the rescue?

[jon-nyc]

Hey @bachophile - what do you do if you’re in surgery and one of these alerts comes in? Just hope for the best?

[bachophile]

Intercepted. Definitely see much less missiles since the first two nights. I guess the hunting expeditions are working.

[jon-nyc]

Fewer.

@jon-nyc great question

My hospital (Sheba ) has 10 ORs underground for emergencies. So we just keep on working. Sometimes we don’t even know there are alerts until they are over.

[bachophile]

@jon-nyc yup. My grammar sucks.

[jon-nyc]

By the way I met a young lady at your hospital recently. Can’t remember if it was AASLD, ERS, or ATS. She knew who you were though hadn’t met you.

When I asked if she knew you she said ‘of course I know who he is’.

A worsening of this is what will bring regime change to Iran. We will know for certain when the women hit the streets en masse in protest because their kids are crying from hunger:

One contributor from Karaj, a city just outside of Tehran, says: "Yesterday, I went to a supermarket to buy fruit and found almost empty shelves.

That's sad.

On their way to Jordan.
