The Spin

The strikes achieved their strategic objective by severely damaging Iran's nuclear infrastructure and eliminating their ability to weaponize uranium. The leaked assessment is clearly an attempt to undermine a successful mission that used the most powerful conventional weapons available. Iran's nuclear program has been obliterated regardless of what anonymous intelligence sources claim.

This is a deliberate attempt to undermine Trump and one of the most successful military operations in history. If 14 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs hit their target perfectly, total obliteration is the only possible outcome, so there can be no doubt that Iran's nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed. Military strength is the only language Tehran understands, and only the overwhelming success of Trump's military operation opened the way for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

The intelligence assessment reveals that the strikes failed to achieve their stated goals, with Iran's uranium stockpile intact and centrifuges operational. This incomplete mission only delayed Iran's nuclear timeline by months while potentially motivating them to pursue weapons more aggressively. The administration is covering up the limited effectiveness of an operation that violated international law.

These findings only confirm existing evaluations that the strikes failed to achieve their goal of destroying Iran's nuclear facilities, the stockpile of enriched uranium was evacuated beforehand, and the centrifuges can be put back into operation within a few months. Not only was the Trump administration's military operation a massive failure, but whatever is said or written cannot hide the fact that Iran has won a major victory over the U.S. and Israel and will continue to defend its right to a peaceful nuclear program.

There's a 40% chance that Iran will attack U.S. sites in Iraq before August 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
