Intelligence community said no progress had been made to rebuild enrichment since bombing last year

So again what was the threat?


Also:

Iran’s potentially most dangerous nuclear site is buried as deep as 100 meters below a granite mountain, according to new assessments, and one nonproliferation expert warned it must be "neutralized" before the U.S. war with Iran ends.

Feel free to prove the report false.

I'm sure Fox is spitting the truth.

Re; immigration...the orange man said he doesn't even want to deport illegals anymore unless they are criminals.

Funny how they just found out about that site now. Very convenient

Guess they lied last year when they said the nuclear sites were destroyed? Or bad Intel?

Yeah true. I want all illegals out though.

That bill should pass, just like the save act should but we are stuck with two parties that want to keep the status quo and not listen to the voters. That's why more progressives and more far right folks will be elected in the coming years. Both sides are digging into their ideologies

Wow. I didn't know the US imported fertilizer through the Straight of Hormuz.

Man, I want to thank you for opening up my eyes.

30% of nitrogen goes through the strait.

You know the supply and demand thing.

I will share that Iran just hit the Qatar natural gas facility again. I think a nuke is on the table now. Iran is legitimately fricking up the entire world economy and we can't stop them.

We have a net import of about 5% on nitrogen….and 1/3 of that comes from Canada.

We also get some from Venezuela, which we can now lift embargo and get even more

US farmers are not impacted by nitrogen shortages through the strait

Yes us being a net exporter of oil has prevented gas prices from rising here. A disruption this big will affect prices globally no matter how much we import or from where

It would make sense for other countries to secure Hormuz, the countries that actually depend on it.

Why aren't they?

Besides a ground invasion I don't really see how you can control it with the drones and shite they are using.

South Korea, Japan, other smaller Asians getting the worst of the oil stuff. If it continues they may not have a choice but to help or pressure trump to call it off. Thing is, Iran wants to make sure this doesn't happen again, so they want to inflict as much as possible. If you believe the reports they have turned down multiple cease fires already

It was published last June that we only hit 2 of their 3 nuclear enrichment facilities.

It was also mentioned last June (but not confirmed at the time) that Iran moved enriched uranium at 60% (and enough for 11 nuclear warheads) to another facility prior to the bombing in 2025. Iran confirmed in the talks 2 weeks prior that they had the enriched uranium.

I don't know specifics. The third facility is deep underground. My guess is that the third facility was offline (as a reason it was not targeted). Maybe it wasn't hit because the uranium from that facility did not exceed 5% (and 2-5% is perfect for an electrical grid for the people). But moving 60% enrichment to that facility resets the clock to weapons grade within weeks. Even if the uranium doesn't reach weapons grade, it still reaches "dirty bomb" status on the missiles.
Iran doesn't have to rebuild facilities when they had a 3rd one left.



Ossof asks Gabbard a question. She answers. Then he says false.
No offense, but he is wrong. The president constitutionally has final say on imminent threat. All of the executive branch are advisors to the president. To imply that they have the same powers as the president is laughable.
Saying "false" is about as impactful as Joe Biden telling a foreign adversary "don't do it".
As is common with all congressional hearings, the Senator is grandstanding for the camera.



I asked you to define imminent threat and what would be required in your personal definition to change from threat to imminent.

Crickets....


Lastly, why do you keep downplaying the threat from Iran? North Korea doesn't fund terrorism. They haven't kidnapped Americans. Fought us in wars since 1953.

North Korea hasn't sent missiles unprovoked at a NATO country.

I'd overlook this but you've double-downed on Iran as a neutral neighbor and even referenced North Korea as a contrast.

Why would Iran intentionally bomb oil tankers coming and going through Hormuz, tankers with no alliances with Israel or the US?
