“All of the nuclear stuff is down there” in the tunnels of nuclear facilities” Trump said, seeming to reject to the argument that nuclear material was moved out of the target sites”
I'm not qualified to present an informed opinion on this, but listen to the dolt in charge of our country. Most 4th graders could probably explain this better. “If you knew about that material, it’s very hard and very dangerous to move. It’s called — many people, they call it dust, but it’s very, very heavy. It’s very, very hard to move. And they were way down. You know, they’re 30 stories down. They’re literally 30-35 stories down in the ground,” the president added. “If you take a look at the pictures, if you take a look how it’s all black, if you know the fire and brimstone is all underground because it’s granite and it’s all underground, you don’t show it. But even there, with all of that being said, the whole area — for 75 yards around the hole where it hit — is black with fire,” Trump said. Donald Trump denies Iranians moved nuclear materials before US strikes
^^ But then again, we all know that Donald Trump isn't trying to clarify the situation, or inform American citizens. He's providing the "facts" that his supporters should believe.
While Trump denies Iranians moved nuclear materials before the US strikes there is also this: Satellite images show activity at Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility before U.S. air strikes Maxar Technologies, a U.S. defense contractor, released satellite imagery on Sunday showing activity at Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility prior to U.S. air strikes. The images of the secretive plant, which were collected on Thursday and Friday, depict truck and vehicle activity near to the entrance of the underground military complex.
The left is so weird. Ignore the director of FBI saying the covid virus was likely the result of a leak but print and run with the leaks tagged as low confidence about bombs where nobody in the public can see other than holes in the ground.
The assessments were both made with low confidence and the right is no different than the left with respect to believing what they choose to believe the difference is that left has accepted the initial battle damage assessment as fact while the right was accept the lab leak theory as fact when they're both essentially educated guesses.
Sorry but when the FBI Dir. doesn't actually have any real proof of his theory, most intelligent people will believe the numerous experts that actually have the education, experience and expertise to back up their position. Political appointees, especially now, are simply often sycophants.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/world/middleeast/fordo-iran-nuclear-bomb-satellite.html Satellite imagery released by Maxar Technologies showed a flurry of abnormal activity near the entrance tunnel in the three days preceding the U.S. strikes. Seems to be an unusually large number of trucks though.
If True, I have my doubts that any bomb is going to destroy a lab that is under 300 feet of granite ... no matter how black the surface appears ... They may have temporarily blocked the entrance, though. Trump isn't doing himself any favors with controlling the narrative, here.
I don’t remember where I saw the analysis, but somewhere I saw the note that the “very large number of trucks” appear to all be dump trucks, which isn’t what you would generally use to move either centrifuges or refined uranium. The conclusion that analysis drew was that Iran may have filled the tunnel entrances with sand themselves to block the Israelis from attempting to enter the facility in a ground operation.
They do look like dump trucks or outpost top box trucks. Either way, they appear empty while waiting to go in, not out.
Why don't we wait to hear what the Mossad thinks is going on? They have the best sources on that nuclear program.
I don't disagree with this, but it would be nice if we had a President who showed your same level of restraint before announcing a premature conclusion. It's sad that we as citizens have to try and cobble this together ourselves from various reports rather than being able to rely on the truth coming from our government (and yes, I'm aware the government rarely shares the full truth for various reasons). It wouldn't have been hard to say something like "the mission was a success, and while preliminary reports are encouraging, it will take some time to assess if our objective was achieved." I really don't think that's too much to ask. That being said, I appreciate the information, expertise, and patience that you and others bring to the board.
