A new U.S. intelligence report suggests that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back only a few months after U.S. strikes, not “completely and totally obliterated” as President Donald Trump has said.
Gee, I wonder why it might be important to have working OPSEC in the highest levels of your strategic decision making. Well, that ship has sailed, and probably cannot come back.
(Not that I’m in favor of bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities, I’m just saying shit happens when you are incompetent. There is a deliberate confusion between saying “nuclear program” to mean nuclear activities like medicine which are perfectly normal and which lots of countries do, which is all Iran was doing with their uranium throughout all the middle of the 2010s, and nuclear activities trying to build a bomb. I don’t know how much of what they’re doing is the second thing, although it seems likely that it’s nonzero, but I know that some is the first thing and Obama was able to talk them out of all of the second thing, and they agreed.)
Obama was able to talk them out of all of the second thing, and they agreed.
Like so many other things, this could be a motivation for Trump to undo things, regardless of understanding any of it. It’s why he ran for President the first time, out of spite.
