Wow… Left leaning board members are all like “HUZZAH!” And right leaning members are apprehensive at best and outright against at worst…

Who knows the true motives of Potus, but I support this action. Notably for the first time he had his top team standing with him when giving the brief statement on the mission.
Iran will retaliate, as always. What ordnance does it still control? How effective have the Israelis been? Or the B2 and tomahawk bombs?
I can't imagine Iran moving anything from their safest facility, so their nuclear weapons program is hopefully crippled or dead.

After the action by the US, less than thirty missiles fired at Israel. Similar to the previous few days.
Sixteen trucks were photographed at Fordow yesterday. Did they get the chance to move fissile materials?

Updated figures.
A U.S. official said that six American warplanes dropped a dozen 30,000-pound bunker-busters on the Fordo nuclear site, and that Navy submarines fired 30 cruise missiles at the Natanz and Isfahan sites. One B-2 bomber also dropped two bunker-busters on Natanz, the official said.

I think only about 20 were made so that’s more than 2/3 of the whole program.

Let’s see what kind of war time President Trump is. He’s crossed the Rubicon although I agree the Iranian regime left him no other choice than military action.

Speaking of Rubiocons, was Marco trying to Blink out a message in Morse code last night? And how much eyeliner was JD wearing?

It is still pending a security council decision. May not happen.

@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.

Except oil is fungible so if you cut off supply anywhere those not getting it will seek it elsewhere and bid up prices.
Though I agrees this wouldn’t be nearly as painful as it was 50 years ago.

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.
