Of course it didn’t work…
US intel says strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear programme
A classified preliminary US intelligence report has concluded that American strikes on Iran set back Tehran’s nuclear programme by just a few months – rather than destroying it as claimed by President Donald Trump.
US media cited people familiar with the Defence Intelligence Agency findings as saying the weekend strikes did not fully eliminate Iran’s centrifuges or stockpile of enriched uranium.
The strikes sealed off entrances to some facilities without destroying underground buildings, according to the report.
White House Press Secretary Karline Leavitt confirmed the authenticity of the assessment but said it was “flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked”.
“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 programme,” Leavitt posted on X.
“Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration,” she added.
US B-2 bombers hit two Iranian nuclear sites with massive GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs over the weekend, while a guided missile submarine struck a third with Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Trump called the strikes a “spectacular military success” and said they had “obliterated” the nuclear sites, while Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Washington’s forces had “devastated the Iranian nuclear programme”.
General Dan Caine, the top US military officer, has struck a more cautious tone, saying the strikes caused “extremely severe damage” to the Iranian facilities.

…this alongside the fact the Iranians moved their 400kg uranium before the strikes…

…means all America and Israel achieved was a war crime.
Great.
The blowback from this is going to be incinerating.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Here is our comrade George’s take from yesterday

As far as I know, there has been no explosive dropped on Trump and Leavitt yet; there is no sign that they have any intelligence. What that says about those who support them is also obvious, although they continue to live in denial. I guess that once the forced obedience to man made rules start some of them might start to regret their actions.
Of course he lied, he’s a serial liar and an uneducated boofhead. Which does not say much about his support base, much like Seymour.
The only thing Trump is good for is incessant lying about pretty much everything AND groundless bravado as to his own competence and ability
Trump is exactly what’s needed to sort the shit in that region. He certainly scares Iran a helkuva lot more than Swarbrick and Davidson, our great international conflict strategists.
Ok Jonzie, surely you are taking the piss. What do the Greens have to do with this? It’s classic deflection. Trump is a f’ing moron

Another idiotic comment and delusional belief in Trump even if you had to say it twice, it makes you twice an idiot.
Trump / the Usa strike was Bullshit,,,, based on Bullshit info ,,,, with predictably Bullshit results .
“”The AI That Triggered a War: How Palantir and the IAEA Fueled Israel’s Strike on Iran”
https://ddgeopolitics.substack.com/p/the-ai-that-triggered-a-war-how-palantir
Since 2015, the IAEA has quietly used Palantir’s Mosaic platform to monitor nuclear activities across Iran. The software—originally built for U.S. counterinsurgency—ingests hundreds of millions of data points, including satellite imagery, social media, trade flows, and metadata, to map sites, identify personnel links, and infer nuclear “intent.” ….
….. “But unlike traditional monitoring tools, Mosaic is not a passive system. It runs predictive analytics—assessing not just what a state has done, but what it might do—based on behavioral models derived from counterterrorism doctrine. This feature was designed for battlefield targeting, not legal compliance.
“It’s like Minority Report for uranium,” an IAEA official quipped, describing Mosaic’s predictive power.”
Garbage in ,,,, ‘Lets go to War’ garbage out …… “Mosaic’s lineage screams bias. Funded by In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture arm, Palantir powers IDF targeting in Gaza ….:”
Mosaic Outputs cannot be traced back to raw inputs by third parties,,,,, ” Israeli-run data clusters. ” are almost certainly part of the garbage that is fed in to ‘help’ create the resulting ‘predictive analytics’ ,,,,,,
“IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi’s later admission—“We had no proof of a systematic weapons program”—did little to counter the damage. In the fog of predictive analytics, Mosaic had already rewritten the rules of evidence. ”
“More disturbing is the possibility that this software, which traces metadata, professional affiliations, and behavioral trends, contributed to the targeting of individuals” ……..
“Also “disturbing is the possibility that this software, which traces metadata, professional affiliations, and behavioral trends, contributed to the targeting of individuals”. …..
Imo Garbage in Garbage out should be applied to Peter Thiels NZ citizenship,,, The Palantir blood-sucker. …
