Let me clarify all the mis/disinformation about the efficacy of the Iranian Nuke Facility Strikes. [View all]
For some reason... some people seem to think the nuclear mfg sites weren't particularly damaged.
That's NOT what the initial intel says.
Let me clarify.
The actual sites suffered very heavy damage.
No manufacturing process will be moving back into the Fordow facility underground.
THIS is what is misunderstood:
Iran moved their enriched Uranium OUT OF THE FACILITIES as much as two WEEKS before the strikes.
And Iran has centrifuges... thousands of them scattered all over the country.
SO...
While the sites targeted by the US few days ago suffered major damage...
The Iranian ability to pursue a nuclear weapon is barely altered because the components are spread around the country in many different locations...
Much like the Nazis were producing MORE fighter planes during the intense Allied bombing of WW2 because mfg facilities were disbursed.
The Iranians can resume enrichment activities pretty much any time.
So a waste of ordnance? Kinda... yeah
