The Iran Nuclear Program thread

Latest push notification. The majority of the general staff of the Iranian Air Force including its commander were eliminated in one attack on a command post.

This would be awkward.

“[US Special Envoy to the Middle East] Steve Witkoff still intends to hold another meeting with the Iranians at the weekend. Of course, it’ll be up to the Iranians to decide whether or not they want to go,” he added.

[bachophile]

They already said they aren’t coming.

[jon-nyc]

Strategic error. They could ‘concede’ everything Israel destroyed and get some sanctions lifted. lol

[bachophile]

They can’t. The thing the regime fears most is showing weakness. They fear their masses much more than fearing Israel.

[jon-nyc]

Israel’s playing into that too. Usually they down play attacks to limit retaliation. Today they’re spiking the ball.

[bachophile]

Latest push. The whole leadership of the army and IRG have been eliminated. About twenty generals.

[bachophile]

The ultimate decapitation strike. It’s mind boggling.

[jon-nyc]

Maybe it’s just for plausible deniability at this point.

Yeah, I'm not hearing a lot of "we didn't want this to happen" in his words.

It does seem they are trying to limit radiation. Hard to do I'd imagine.

Rafael Grossi, the head of the U.N. nuclear agency, said that so far there are “no elevated radiation levels” detected around the Natanz nuclear site. He also said there were no indications of attacks so far at two other major Iranian nuclear sites, the deep-underground enrichment center at Fordow or the Isfahan nuclear fuel site, where much early processing of nuclear fuel takes place. Isfahan is also suspected of being a core location for secret nuclear weapons research, American officials say.

If they are clamping down on the internet, they are worried about the masses. I think regime change will be the ultimate goal.

I think it’s interesting that the oil facilities have not been hit yet. Because that I think is the key to bringing down the regime.

It's so easy from an armchair in Ohio to support this. My loved ones are not in the line of fire.

Regime change would be a welcome thing, but it would have been more welcome in the 80's or 90's when more of the population remembered the less restrictive pre-revolution Iran.
