The US attacks Iran's nuke sites!
Donald Trump has done it and he didn't wait two weeks. It was obvious Iran wasn't goinbg to play ball. Tehran wasn't going to budge on new nuke talks unless Israel stopping bombing. Trump was never going to agree to that, let alone Benjamin Netanyahu. So Trump called his national security team for a meeting last night and he gave the go ahead to bomb in the early hours. The six B-2 Spirit bombers assigned for the bombing run and a collection of air-to-air refuelling tankers were all set to go. Instead of going to the base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, the B-2s flew off from their Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri for the long-haul flight to Iran. This was the better option because it guaranteed more surprise. Six B-2s each armed with two Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, 30,000lb in weight and with devastating explosive power, were dropped on the main uranium-enrichment bunker at Fordo, 100 miles spouth of Tehran and, according to Trump, it was obliterated. The only way it could have been put totally out of action would have been if the B-2s followed in a line and dropped the 12 MOPs one after the other into the same hole created by the first one. Twelve MOPs falling through the same hole wold have reached the floor of the bunker and devastated the whole place. Assuming that's what happened, it was a simple but unprecedented-in-history attack on a single underground installation by conventional bombs. Two other nuke sites at Isfahan and Natanz were hit by dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles fired fromn US submarines. All the talk of diplomacy and deescalation urged by everyone except Israel was also obliterated. But, despite all the appeals and concerns and fears and criticism emanating from around the world, it is just possible that the US, along with Israel of course, has saved the world from facing a nuclear-armed Iran, a nightmare for the whole globe. As the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the other day when referring to Israel's action, Israel was doing the dirty work for everyone. Now Trump has also done the dirty work for the planet. Let us hope that's an end to it and Iran realises there is nothing it can do against the might of the US without huge retaliation. They can try with attacks on US forces and embassies in the region. But if they do that, Trump will just bomb more sites until Iran is thrown back into the 14th century. Ultimately, all countries, especially in the Middle East, will be grateful.
