Trump says Israel sent agents into Iran’s Fordo nuclear site, saw ‘total obliteration’

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested that Israel sent agents to Iran’s Fordo nuclear site after US struck it earlier this week, insisting the attack was a success and warning that he was willing to strike again if Iran tried to revive its enrichment program.

Isn’t it more likely the uranium is now under tons of granite and concrete debris, with radiation release all but contained?

Likely the people here are dissident Iranians, but Israel has maybe 200,000 Persian Jews. No doubt enough speak Farsi and maintain some contacts in Iran.

“I’m also sure that the Israeli agents really appreciate Trump letting the Iranians know that they had almost immediate access to these highly sensitive and restrictive sites since that won’t compromise them and get them killed at all.”

That was a bad move for sure... But was it Trump personally or disloyal staff who leaked this to the press?

"...It would be impossibe to enter the cavity."

One would think so, but we don't really know very much. I'll wait.

There may not even have been a leaker. CNN may have simply fabricated the entire story out of thin air in their attempt to hurt Trump.

Used to be 200,000 Jews in Persia. Now 10,000-20,000 depending on who you believe.

"Trump never exaggerates anything..."

LOL. What's great about his exaggerations is he quite often turns out to be correct....time and again.

So, what's often considered exaggeration on first blush, often turns out to be no exaggeration at all.

If anything, Iran had moved all other centrifuges to Fordow, thinking it was safe from Israeli bombers.

It was safe from Israeli bombers... but not American bombers.

Whoopsie. I misread you. We’re both probably correct. They moved.

Would Israel agree to ceasefire if not true?

Fordow was probably sealed off by the bunker busters.

The Iranians might have a video security link to the centrifuge room(s).

The Mossad would simply be relying on loose talk based on video imaging.

>> Could this be true?

You’re kidding, right? This is the Mossad that set up Hezbollah for “pager fun”. Guided drones into the freaking bedroom windows of Iranian government droids and nuclear scientists. Set up drone attacks launched FROM WITHIN IRAN, for goodness’ sake!

I so totally believe THIS report FROM THE GROUND IN IRAN over that “unnamed source” that your favorite CNN quoted — if that scummy bastard even exists.

Trump at the NATO summit: “Since then [leaked intelligence report], we have collected additional intelligence. We have also spoken to people who have seen the site. The site is obliterated. And we think everything nuclear was down there. They didn’t take it out.”

“Would Israel agree to ceasefire if not true?”

This is just like the Suez Crisis, where the Brits, French and Israelis were forced to back off.

“China can now continue to purchase oil from Iran”

Trump

I suspect the Chinese told Trump that China had record levels of missiles while US missile stocks were depleted and that if Israel and the US didn’t back off the Chinese would supply lots of missiles to Iran.

The tunnels, chambers, and open spaces inside a contained blast turns everything in those open spaces into jello from the blast pressure which instantaneously moves throughout. By nature of the facility it is a giant pressure cooker bomb with connecting pipes that transport the blast energy.

The facility may still be structurally in tact because the mountain didn't collapse, but if you know industrial processes, systems, controls, and energy infrastructure, you know the equipment is destroyed. It would be easier to just rebuild the whole network with new systems. That would take years.

“the materials had already been taken out”

Hassan Abedini, the deputy political director of Iran’s state broadcaster

A group claimed to have “footage showing Iran pulling out the nuclear materials from Fordow two days ago”

Since June 2015, the media cannot help themselves.
