The Iran Nuclear Program thread

If you'll recall, this was exactly my objection to our involvement - possible failure to destroy Fordow.
Now, it is absolutely true that some powers will try very hard to portray that as true, whether it is or not. Finding the truth might be difficult, but we'll be keeping an eye on the sites.

In all likelihood it’s somewhere in between. What do they mean by months? 3? Or 120?

I thought they were years away from a bomb, according to Tulsi?

That's the problem, we don't have a clue who's telling the truth. Or even if anyone knows what the truth is. Every news station trots out their retired 3 or 4 star general (I don't even listen to colonels) or atomic energy PhD and no two has the same opinion about anything.
I am somewhat partial to Rebecca Grant PhD over at Fox, though. She gets all excited and squeaky when she's talking about Tomahawk missiles being fired off.

Do you miss the day when Obama announced "we got Bin Laden" on TV and the world just believed him?

I didn't really believe it until it was verified by DNA. I feel similarly here, but no DNA applies.

Hard comparison. There was no doubt in my mind when Obama said we got Bin Laden. If Trump said the same, I would believe him too since it's pretty clear whether we got an individual. But in this case about destroying a nuclear facility 80 meters under ground, I very much do not trust what Trump says based on his very consistent track record of lying and exaggerating. I think we made that point a few weeks ago here, that Trump will be hard to trust on war matters, and we're seeing it here. I know one thing... it would be awkward as shit if footage is released of Fordow still operating.
