I also got this in my recommended a couple days ago. Strange.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/us/politics/iran-uranium-stockpile-whereabouts.html https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-06-22/ty-article-live/.premium/netanyahu-says-u-s-attacks-on-irans-nuclear-sites-were-fully-coordinated-with-israel/00000197-95b2-db6f-a9ff-b7fe0eec0000 Media will probably see this as a way to bait trump into more strikes by accusing him of failure.

Join the EPRC or the SEMA lab

The strike was extremely limited. It doesn’t seem to have even killed anyone. NYtimes reports a US official told them the site was damaged but not destroyed, and Iran claimed it evacuated all the uranium and tools. I think Iran will try and retaliate in some small way so as not to trigger a greater US reaction, and the US will avoid reacting to avoid a longer war. Maybe israel will cease strikes and the US will return to negotiating. But nothing has changed on that front aside from their project being set back, we don’t even know by how much. There demands very well will remain the same. The problem is, now israel is going to shift to demanding further strikes to ensure the facilities or destroyed and striking wherever they suspect the uranium was taken too, and if Iran decides to just rebuild and actually go for a weapon this time israel will demand even greater US intervention and we are at square one.

But that’s not why they attacked, israel has admitted they don’t believe they can destroy irans nuclear capability and are asking for US intervention. But now even US officials are saying they are unsure if the US can destroy the facilities https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/19/trump-caution-on-iran-strike-linked-to-doubts-over-bunker-buster-bomb-officials-say So it’s more plausible this can result in Iran trying to attain a nuke itself as a later date, as well as other countries in the region as that’s shown to be the only deterrence since the US and Israel didn’t uphold the JCPOA.

Tucker Carlson just did a interview with Ted Cruz, it gets very heated due to his snippy comments, some highlights: Ted has been responding with various tweets after it got published: my analysis: Tucker used to be ardently pro interventionism for example supporting the Iraq war and calling for war with Iran. Over time that shifted and he’s become radically non interventionist recently. I’m surprised Ted accepted his interview when he did something similar to Mike Pence regarding his support for Ukraine which caused damage to his presidential campaign.

- the IAEA report did not say they were making nuclear weapons, the chief just confirmed this https://x.com/EyesOnSouth1/status/1935268489767342298 - this is what US intelligence said https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/politics/israel-iran-nuclear-bomb-us-intelligence-years-away https://www.ynetnews.com/article/syl7ulhxgx https://www.nbcnews.com/video/hospital-damaged-by-israeli-strike-in-western-iran-241723973849 Irrelevant, striking civil energy infrastructure is a breach of Geneva conventions. Are you ok with Iran striking Israel’s energy infrastructure?

“The Israeli people want peace” is a misnomer, they define peace as Palestinians accept permanent brutal subjugation and all surrounding states be either anarchic perpetual civil wars or controlled by dictators backed by the US and Israel who repress any effort to counter Israel’s aggression and apartheid. It looks like though israel is acting like the strikes are to stop nuclear weapons (Iran wasn’t pursuing weapons and Israel alone cannot do this), they are admitting it’s actually about regime change and beginning a propaganda campaign that Iranians actually support what they are doing. This is false, while the regime is unpopular it still maintains a significant support base, and even those that dislike the regime mostly also dislike Israel for its own repression of Palestinians (far more brutal than anything Iran does to its people). The bombing campaign so far has targeted energy infrastructure to crash the economy, and also hit a hospital and news station killing countless journalist. Israel is even using terrorist tactics such as car bombs and admits 90% of deaths are civilians. Right now even Iranian opposition figures outside the US are coming out against the bombing en masse. It’s likely even more extreme for the population in Iran. The ones supporting it are a minority who have a large funding base, such as the son of the former Monarch trying to position himself as a replacement.

why? Countries without nukes that resist get picked off one by one. Iraq, Libya, Syria.

That wouldn’t be nearly enough. They are targeting banks and energy infrastructure, they also bombed a hospital and news station. They may be trying to turn it into a failed state to cause an uprising. But even that probably won’t be enough without serious boots on the ground. Also iran may go for broke and start bombing gulf oil fields and closing the strait to massively rise oil prices and crash the world economy if it comes to that.

Theoretical? Are West Bank settlements theoretical? Is invasion of Syria theoretical? The US was trying to strangle them with sanctions and arming Saddam while he gassed them long before they seriously got involved with the Israel issue. Let’s say the same to israel then. If you don’t like terror attacks and foreign countries arming rebel groups don’t make your national purpose occupying millions of people and seizing their land.

Those attacks weakened and slowed the program, but they never stopped them from eventually getting weapons if that’s what they chose to do. They never did. The diplomacy example proves this. Their strategy is transparently to maintain latent nuclear capability.
