The United States has entered Israel’s war against Iran.
American warplanes dropped bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday, President Trump announced on Saturday night, bringing the U.S. military directly into the war after days of uncertainty about whether he would intervene.
“All planes are now outside of Iran air space,” he said in a post on social media, adding that a “full payload” of bombs had been dropped on Fordo, the heavily fortified underground facility in Iran that is critical to its nuclear program. “All planes are safely on their way home.”
The three sites that Mr. Trump said were hit on Saturday night included Iran’s two major uranium enrichment centers: the mountain facility at Fordo and a larger enrichment plant at Natanz, which Israel struck several days ago with smaller weapons. The third site, near the ancient city of Isfahan, is where Iran is believed to keep its near-bomb-grade enriched uranium, which inspectors saw just two weeks ago.
Three senior Iranian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said that they believed American forces had bombed Fordo and Natanz at around 2.30 a.m. in Iran.

The question for me is what is Iran’s game here. They are known (by independent authorities) to have been enriching significant quantities of uranium to a level that has no civilian applications. But not yet to weapons grade. It’s reasonable to think they could complete the enrichment in less than a month and then have the material for as many as 10 nukes. But they have not done this to date.
And the Iranian supreme leader has forbidden it and no evidence has been offered that they have a design, although the mechanism is well understood.
Have the US strikes tonight destroyed the Iranian enrichment program? If not, what’s Iran’s next move?

This screams the intelligence gap Tulsi was talking about.
Reask this question after they kill the Supreme leader...most authoritarian regimes priorities self-preservation (that was one of the main points of them trying to get a nuke)
