what if they do it after nuking DC?
———————————————————————————————————
Just a few months ago, Trump proudly announced that we had “completely obliterated” the Iranian nuclear program, setting it back at least a decade or two.
Now, Iranian nukes are an existential threat.
Only one of those can be true.
Trump was in the 1st instance incorrect. I don’t think anyone had fully explained Iran’s “mosaic” strategies to him.
OTOH, you are, deliberately and dishonestly I suspect, leaving out the 3rd factor, which is Iran working on creating enough missile capacity to effectively deter anyone from attempting further strikes on the Iranian nuclear weapons program. It is quite clear they were getting close on that “inoculation”.
What he said:
“Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,”
What you claimed he said:
“Just a few months ago, Trump proudly announced that we had “completely obliterated” the Iranian nuclear program”
**********
“Key nuclear enrichment facilities” are merely the major part of “the Iranian nuclear program.”
There were likely to be a few centrifuges that were in transit, in a warehouse, as parts in transit or at storage sites, in training centers, or in university physics departments.
I posted on FR at the time that Trump’s 2025 bombings were going to be insufficient.
Something like 95% of the enrichment work needed to build roughly 11 bombs has been done.
Something like 99% of the enrichment work needed to build two bombs has been done.
