Not one rocket - no fire US executes Bombing on Iran Nuclear Facilities

[Always in His Presence]

Chairman of Joint Chiefs give a description of a near perfectly executed plan

The Iranians never saw them, nor heard them.

Based on what I have heard and read, this was an almost flawless mission. Along with this mission, the Israeli drone strike in Iran last week and the Ukrainian drone strike inside Russia could make for an intriguing Hollywood Movie. All three missions took place within less than a month .

I do not have a confirming story, but I've read that the one cite needed at least two MOAB's and they dropped five or six times what was needed.

The Fordo nuclear facility is located 300 feet deep under a mountain. This site requires multiple bunker buster bombs for penetration. I watched an ex-military personnel discussing the planning involved on one of the cable news. The strategy for this operation has been in development since 2001.

Israel had already declared they had complete freedom of operation in Irans airspace.

Thanks to a proactive instead of a reactive President - we don't have to worry about Iran getting nuclear weapons.

Their pathetic retaliation demonstrates how weak they have become.

Iran is roughly the size of the western side of the United States’ portion of the continental divide, so they’d be the “David” to our “Goliath”.

Yup, who chant death to America, who are the largest suppliers of weapons and finances to international terrorist groups, who have ICBM’s and were about to have nuclear weapons.

David was about to have the ability to use a 30megaton warhead against their enemies. And now they can’t.

That ain’t small rocks in a slingshot.

The upper limit for fission bombs is about 500 kilotons (0.5 megatons).
Having roughly 400kg of 60% enriched U-235 (which would occupy about a third of a cubic meter) and getting [edit](a portion of)[\edit] it into a warhead and a “delivery system” would take even more time…then they’d have to test the design.

The idea that the Iranian government is going to have a weapon next week (or year) is fearmongering 101.

Google and AI has turned everyone into an internet genius.

Even Chuck Schumer applauded the bombing.

Complained he wasn’t informed, but supported the action.

Isn't it premature to claim that "we don't have to worry about Iran getting nuclear weapons"? The operation was flawless, but do we have confirmation that all the sites have been completely destroyed? Do we have confirmation that Iran has no other facilities? Do we have confirmation that Iran did not move some of the nuclear material to other sites which are unknown to the intelligence community?

Senator Schumer has every right to raise concerns. To the best of my knowledge, it is not illegal to withhold information from the Gang of Eight when the White House conducts a secret mission. However, it establishes a precedent for future presidents to withhold similar information from Congress. It is possible that next time it will be a president from the opposing party, at which point Republicans will voice their objections.

I would humbly suggest you do some reading.

The White House followed the war Powers Act to the letter. They notified Congress members within the time frame required.

When Obama gave Iran cash on pallets, he knew where the facilities were, President Trump in his first term sanctioned and shut off the money from oil and intelligence knew where the facilities were. Biden when he gave Iran access to billions upon billions of dollars knew where the facilities were.

Our Middle Eastern Allies are supporting the action - our European Allies are supporting the Action - Most of Congress - even Democrats are saying it was good - only people here are trying to cast shade on a military operation that was executed flawlessly and destroyed all three deeply imbedded nuclear sites.

Is it possible or likely because some are so jaded they can't imagine the President doing something good or right?

US intelligence has been watching for close to three decades.

President Trump is the first that did not implore them, nor appease them.

I read the material, and the White House did not break the law. They notified Republican leadership—Senate Leader and Speaker Johnson—but did not inform Democratic leadership beforehand. The Democrats were informed afterward. While this is not illegal, it sets a precedent for future presidents. I hope the GOP will accept this if a Democratic president does the same.

Here is a piece of historical context. When President Obama attempted to take similar actions, Republicans along with Senator Dianne Feinstein insisted on following the established norm of informing the Gang of Eight before undertaking any covert actions. It seems that adhering to norms was important at that time; however, today it appears that these norms are not always prioritized.

Is this the same intelligence community that reported on WMD in Iraq? Yea, we have seen how that worked out!

As I have said before, President Trump was the first president in the last 50 years to take decisive action against Iran, and the operation was flawless. However, it is premature to call it a victory as it is only day 4.

Really? Who on the Republican side did he notify before he bombed Libia?

Here let me help you:

Before launching airstrikes in Libya in March 2011, President Obama did not seek prior congressional approval. Instead, his administration relied on a legal opinion from the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel, which concluded that he had the constitutional authority to direct limited military operations if he deemed them in the national interest.

The President had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force in Libya because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest. Prior congressional approval was not constitutionally required to use military force in the limited operations under consideration. April 1, 2011​

Congress was notified after the operation began, in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, which requires the president to inform Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action.

Which is EXACTLY what President Trump just did - precedent was set by OBAMA 14 years ago - who was complaining about it then? hint - no one

Who do you believe then? An anonymous source who speaks on the condition of anonymity?

Read my last post. President Obama and Congress had issues with this policy, and the Senate pushed back. Senator Dianne Feinstein from President Obama’s own party led the opposition.

You can engage in whataboutism all day, but it doesn't change the fact that presidents have kept the Gang of Eight informed before taking covert action for many years. This is the norm.
