Now What?
On one hand, you have the White House, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Dan Caine, the Joint Chiefs chairman, insisting and insisting again — insisting too much, methinks — that those B–2 bombers that flew over Iran two Sundays back, June 22, obliterated the nation’s nuclear program just as President Trump hastily claimed as soon as the operation was completed.
Hegseth at a news conference with Caine four days later: “U.S. attacks have effectively destroyed Iran’s centrifuge enrichment program …. You want to call it destroyed, you want to call it defeated, you want to call it obliterated, choose your word. This was an historically successful attack, and we should celebrate it as Americans.”
Trump, at a news conference the next day: “The place was bombed to hell …. The last thing they’re thinking about now is nuclear weapons.”
And in the background you have the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency performing Difficulty 5 back flips as they repudiate initial assessments of limited damage to the Iranian nuclear program so as to conform to the Trump regime’s “obliterated, destroyed, defeated” narrative.
On the other hand, you have reports that the Iranians, warned in advance the “bunker busters” would fall on the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites, removed their 400–kilograms of enriched uranium, not quite 900 pounds, to secret locations. Immediately after the bombs fell, Amwaj.media, a British-based digital publication that covers West Asia in English, Arabic and Farsi, reported this, citing “a high-ranking Iranian political source [who] also confirmed that the targeted sites were evacuated, with ‘most’ of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium kept in secure locations.”
“How can you tell,” Reuters asked in a June 29 report, “if enriched uranium stocks, some of them near weapons grade, were buried beneath the rubble or secretly hidden away?”
You cannot, it seems to me. Neither can President Trump or any of his adjutants.
Then you have the granular analysis of reputable technologists such as Ted Postol, the gentlemanly scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has over many years exploded more false flags, propaganda ops, and other such ruses than you’ve had hot dinners.
There is satellite imagery showing 16 tractor trailers lined up at Fordow in the days before the B–2s flew. Trump insists they were pouring concrete, a peculiar use of a truck
