Reports that US armed forces now involved with the Iran/Israel conflict

61. Why yes, I did.

In particular I noticed the Fordo enrichment facility:

Iran’s best-protected nuclear site, Fordo, near the city of Qum, is deep inside a mountain, estimated to be about half a mile below ground to protect it from bombing. Israel did not appear to have attacked it.

To do so would require repeated use of huge “bunker buster” bombs, and most experts think that cannot be done by Israel alone, without American help.

Fordo was operated secretly by Iran until it was exposed in 2009. It contains Iran’s most advanced centrifuges and is considered crucial for Iran to enrich uranium to 60 percent, close to bomb grade. It is said to contain close to 3,000 sophisticated centrifuges, more than half of them the most modern type, with the capacity to install at least 1,000 more.

That plus only partial damage at the Natanz site and no reported assault at the Bushehr nuclear reactor site leads me to believe your optimism is at least at this point premature.

However, we can agree completely on your closing paragraph.
