The Iran Nuclear Program thread

[bachophile]

The ultimate decapitation strike. It’s mind boggling.

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.

Keep on getting interesting updates on tv but I don’t know how much confirmation there is but the latest is a rocket barrage was launched from western Iran and the missiles exploded within seconds of leaving the launchers.

[Horace]

Maybe Israel is confident that Iran can't meaningfully retaliate.

[jon-nyc]

Do words count?

Words are violence, after all.

Interesting. Gives one pause.

[bachophile]

No, we keep getting messages from the powers that be, that there is still a big danger of ballistic missiles. Not to be euphoric.
