Israel launches attack on Iran | US bombs Iran nuke sites

NYT also has the report

“… The report also said much of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was moved before the strikes, which destroyed little of the nuclear material. Some of that may have been moved to secret nuclear sites maintained by Iran.

Some Israeli officials said they also believe that Iran has maintained small covert enrichment facilities that were built so the Iranian government could continue its nuclear program in the event of an attack on the larger facilities.

Officials cautioned that the five-page classified report is only an initial assessment, and others will follow as more information is collected and as Iran examines the three sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. One official said that the reports people in the administration had been shown were “mixed” but that more assessments were yet to be done.…”

 
I don’t know if the fact that it wasn’t destroyed is massively devastating. If Iran holds to the ceasefire as does Israel and negotiation opens back up, it will be a good result. If Trump decides he needs to go after it again - that won’t be good.
 
If Iran's nuclear program survived the strikes in any significant way, it sets up a sort of interesting dynamic.

Either Trump admits he was wrong/inneffectual, or Iran develops a nuke. Not both.

Trump's rhetoric has removed the possibility of any further strikes.

After the US ended the deal, how much notice had to be given prior to an inspection?

Do prisons give prisoners notice before cell inspections? Defeats the entire purpose if you give the individual / country time to hide what they aren't supposed to have. A shitty deal isn't a good deal just because its a deal. Shitty deal is the same as no deal to anyone with any common sense.

You just can't keep the goalposts in place for even one day. Yesterday it was "Trump is awesome, he destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities which was vitally important to the US citizens in Israel."

Now it's, eh no big deal.

Not entirely, but it would take admitting he initially got it wrong which he could blame on Pete. It nonetheless brings in a new wrinkle if the sites somehow survived. Trump doesn't have a great track record for saying he was wrong.

“… White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement:

“This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”…”

" low-level loser in the intelligence community"

Ouch!

Karoline 'BB' Leavitt is harsh!. Ouch!

In that pic, she looks like she's staring daggers ... probably at Kaitlan Collins, her nemesis.

BB is a bit touchy today ... Trump's touchy girl.

Remember when that agreement required 24 days notice to give to the bad guys before inspectors could show up. Surely you can't be that dumb but you do have dook in your name and by your choice so...

B-2 bombers are flown by fighter pilots? I know the B-2 bombers were escorted by US fighters stationed in the Middle East, but were the regular B-2 pilots so unglamerous (and too female) that they had to be replaced by FIGHTER PILOTS! (maybe, maybe, . . ., TOM CRUISE!) at the last moment?
