Update: As per an interview on CNBC today, U.S. intelligence found that Iran did not move nuclear material from Fordow ahead of the attack. Senator Markwayne Mullen said, “In fact, we actually believe they stored more of it in Fordow because they believed Fordow was impenetrable.”
“They are claiming that they moved some material,” Mullin said, referring to Israel and Iran, respectively. “Our intelligence report says they didn’t,” the Oklahoma Republican said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“In fact, we actually believe they stored more of it in Fordo because they believe Fordo was impenetrable,” said Mullin, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “They thought it was a safe place to be.”
But, he added, “We have the ability to destroy things that people think were undestroyable. And so we think we did a really good job.”
“However, if we find out that we didn’t, we will be working with our allies to finish the job or we will finish the job,” Mullin warned.
Additionally, President Trump said earlier today that he has no intention of hitting back at Iran for a failed mission.
The president said he wants no more engagement in the region. He wants peace and harmony.
Original Story
India Today reported that new intelligence shows cargo trucks transporting something, presumably uranium, out of Fordow. Iran said they took the uranium out of Fordow and Natanz. They are trying to say the attack was futile.
The trucks appeared on the 19th and 20th, and that intel possibly spurred the attack, the outlet suggested.
The US was too late to get the alleged uranium, if that’s what was removed, but these facilities were centrifuges and they are likely destroyed.
However, the uranium was enriched and could be used for dirty bombs. Israel could have hit the trucks before they loaded up.
India Today is reporting that there may have been new intelligence that prompted US strikes on Iran. Satellite imagery recorded new activity around Fordow, including 16 cargo trucks, on June 19 and 20. pic.twitter.com/3tTrwu1K41

The US hit Fordow and Natanz and the technology center at Isfahan
The before and after of Fordow:
Breaking: The bombs on Fordow targeted the two air shafts of the site. Six bombs (through three holes) were dropped on each shaft (total of 12 bombs).

The Iranian regime built the core of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant 260 feet deep inside a mountain to protect it from airstrikes. The site contains advanced uranium centrifuge cascades, which are necessary for producing the fuel needed to create nuclear warheads.
The site is not only constructed deep into a mountain to withstand airstrikes, but is also protected by anti-aircraft batteries, which had sustained strikes from Israeli forces the week prior to the U.S. strike. Due to its location so far underground, military experts believe only the American bunker buster bombs were capable of damaging it.
Each B-2 bomber costs about $2.2 billion dollars. The bombs cost about $20 million each. They are impressive.
CNN reports six B-2 bombers were used at the Fordow nuclear site alone.
Each B-2 costs around $2.1 billion.
12 bunker buster bombs were dropped at Fordow.

Correction: Each bomber, not bomb cost $2.2 billion.
Come now, author, do you really believe Iran would leave very valuable enriched uranium far underground, at a well known location, which is known to be targeted?
Will you folks just go along with any version of things which makes your obsession with attacking Iran look good? Is that the type of credibility you desire?
The contradictions are apparent. You folks doubted intel when it said Iran was not building a bomb, but you now agree with intel that the material is destroyed?
We know the Iranians constantly obfuscate to hide their intentions and actions.
If they claim to have moved the nuclear bomb material is it simply to try to make the USA look stupid? Are they inviting attacks on other locations? Who knows? But our uninformed speculations here mean little. God is in charge. Pray for peace.
Obfucation is your middle name. Israel first claimed it was gong to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, but instead it bombed oil and government facilities.
Haha people would believe the words of a regime that calls for the death af Jews and Americans while practicing a death cult that permits lying as an honourable thing to advance Islam into the world?! Why are so many believing the words of mad men that hate and lie?! As if they have any credibility at all!
Soooo, I thought Iran was not enriching uranium for weapons. That is what they claimed. We find out after the attack, that the attack was justified and we are the bad guy? What kind of logic is this? Medvedev says after the attacks that now that the uranium was hauled away to another site that the weapons development will continue? That Russia and North Korea and maybe Pakistan and China will give Iran nuclear weapons also? That is not the act of peaceful intent, and is acting in bad faith. It is not true that those nations do not want war. What is true is that they wish to guarantee that we lose. Better wake up.
Moslems, like Democrats, lie about everything to gain power and steal the wealth of others.
This is just a repeat of the Iraq has WMDs hoax.
Any independent thinking person sees that, which rules out the Israel idolizing zealots here.
It started with “bomb the uranium facilities to save the world” hoax. But Israel did not do that, it bombed government, oil and media facilities. The ignorant people, in their states of delusion, did not figure it out.
Then it changed to regime failure. Then it became the USA will bomb the facilities.
Lots of the lost commenters here said that would be the end of it.
Now it will be the hunt for the uranium, requiring invasion. Ad it will also be a sea war in the straight.
You folks are so gullible, to fall for this again. We are nearing major loss of Trump’s agenda, economic downturn. And, the deep state, our biggest enemy, which Trump is leaving alone, despite fervent promises, gets their war, and will have defeated Trump.
The only thing you correctly identified was the Iraq WMD hoax. Otherwise, you’re completely full of shit.
I agree with the OPs stance that YOU are full of shit believing the lies you believe. Even when you tell the truth it is a lie because you believe in them so strongly.
Obviously you are another Iran/Hamas sympathizer babbling away.
You are ignorant of the facts, and you speak like a fool, not having any knowledge
You forgot to say “Allah is Great”. /s
`Acting like the little all-knowing god you seem to think you are, you declare that your subjective reality is objective reality anyone wo disagrees with you is not an independent thinker, but a tool of (is it of the Jews? or is it of the evil Trump? or is it…?) Take your garbage to the Daily Kos where you will be applauded.
I’m a ‘no new wars’ MAGA
The thought of death wish mullahs having a nukes or the possibility of mullahs w nukes is disturbing.
So I have no problem w PDJT ordering the destruction of these facilities.
Yes, but reality says the threat is MADE UP by those you seek the protection of. Has it occurred to you that these mad hatters made up the threat so you WOULD SEEK their false promise of protection? Has it occurred to you that you are simply being fed a line of crap to control you through fear of NOTHING but made up enemies?
You’re full of crap. This has been going on for 45 years.
This sounds like another NEOCON plot to instigate a never-ending Middle East war. If this be the case, try looking for Iran’s uranium in the same places you never found Sadaam’s poison gas.
It certainly is, and look at the hordes of people falling for it, again. It’s stunning
This war has an ending. It is in the Bible, and it don’t look good.
Chapter? Verse?
If you mean Armageddon, the the Christians will not need to worry. We will be long in Heaven. But you are correct, it don’t look good for unbelievers.
Trump attacked a sovereign nation cuz Bibi said so… He betrayed me and his base. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Hardly. If nothing else, Iran must pay for the US hostages they took in 1979 and the 243 American servicemen that were killed when Iranian-backed Hezbollah blew up an American military barracks in Beirut. Not to mention Iran threatening to destroy the US and Israel for the last 50 years. And the US is just supposed to do nothing… because you don’t like military action or something?
Right on.
You are good at recitation. This is not about resolving events from 45 years ago.
And so, a tree that should have been cut down 45 years ago should be left alone now?
Not about 45 years ago, about 46 cumulative years of terror, oppression and murder. Why don’t you go join Hezbollah.
The US is a FICTION. But it kills real people. If you support the fiction, you are basically supporting the murder of innocents all over the world. And the killers saying they posed a danger to you doesn’t change the fact that they are liars and provably LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Hopefully Trump will issue a personal apology to you so you can get on with your life. As a member of his “base”, I can assure you that we don’t require one as we don’t consider it a betrayal.
Trump ig going after Iran, and not the deep state, when he campaigned on the opposite. I call that betrayal.
“He betrayed me”
Hardly. You are on the other side, just a common enemy of America.
“and his base”
Nope, not at all. We voted for this.
Trump stated in his campaigned it is not in USA interest to bomb Iran. You are unable to pay attention.
Not unable. Unwilling.
There’s nothing sovereign or legit about Iran, I don’t care what you say Bibi said.
We can’t allow them to have anything nuclear.
Oh we see, nations Israel does not like are not legit, thanks much.
It’s a horrible event, and an open ended war, based on the WMD fear propaganda, just like in 2002.
Rumor is Trump is building a golf course in IRAN… already has the 1st 3 holes done!
Theory to gnaw on…
Thinking through the perapective, ‘Peace through strength’…what IF President Trump knew they moved the enriched materials but struck anyway to signal a message? What if it was an expensive way of saying, We got you. We CAN and WILL destroy your hidden facilities. What if it was also used for neighboring countries to run through their safety and evacuation plans (just in case).
Luck is the result of God and preparation.
More Like 16 million each for the big ones. I checked.
Enriched uranium is not what is used in a dirty bomb.
And it’s definitely not used for commercial nuke power generation. The only reason for 60% enriched Uranium is for a bomb. The same w Iran’s Arak nuke plant, it’s only purpose is to make plutonium – another nuke in the making.
What 60% enriched uranium are you referring to???? Your sources are bad.
Those are dump trucks, I don’t think that’s SOP for transporting enriched uranium, most likely dumping rocks to block the access points.
If we have photos of the trucks, then it means the USA and Israel knew what was going on.
It is logical ; if the USA has satellites or spy planes able to take pictures or videos of everything going on at Fordow, it means the USA, and Israel , know what those carried and where those trucks went.
If those trucks did carry all the uranium to another location, then there are images of that, the USA knows where that is.
Either that location will soon be destroyed, probably by Israel,
or those trucks never did carry the uranium to another location.
Trump sent B2s to Guam to fool Iran into thinking there would not be an attack any time soon
Maybe Iran used empty trucks to try and fool the USA that the uranium is no longer there, that it is pointless to attack.
The fourth of the photos posted by Marina Medvin and dated June 20 is quite clearly bogus. Look at the terrain, the missing paving on one of the roads, the missing white structure and green trees in the middle of the intersection, and even the angle that the roads intersect. It’s total, complete, fake news.
So you have some mistaken notion that photo 3 and 4 are of the same place? I’m sure glad you’re not a photo intel analyst
Whatever. For months or years they denied it even existed. Now they say moved it.
Not $2.5 billion each. $3.5 million each according to the government.
They got that data from Asianated Press.
If Israel determines the location of that enriched uranium and hits it, intense radiation explodes across Iran. Jeremiah 49:36 “I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven; I will scatter them to the four winds, and there will not be a nation where Elam’s exiles do not go.”
You support a release of high level radiation?
Three Boeing planes arrive from China earlier.
Hmmm. . .
The dirty leftists are at it again.
And mashed potato Joe left $80 billion worth of equipment in Afghanistan as well as a multi-billion dollar airfield…..
Between a significant amount of enriched uranium and the o9ffer of bombs from other rouge nations, the critics will claim the attack waste a waste. It was not. The enrichment seems to have been stopped. A message was sent to Iran and other nations about US resolve and capability. It still stands as an effort to promote peace.
Actually, none of the three sites hit were operational. Iran had evacuated all the equipment and uranium weeks ago and btw, Fordow wasn’t destroyed at all. Even the damage assessment analysts now admit the bombing was a complete failure. Trump has not only attacked a country we weren’t at war with, and without Congressional authorization, he’s betrayed the vast majority of his own base, who voted for his “no more wars” promise that’s now broken. Oh, and as far as sending a “message” to other nations, they got the message clearly. Now, we have not only every other nation now knowing the US is a pack of liars, they’re now saying openly that they will give nukes to Iran, if they are requested.
You have the meme down pat. Yes, it is a meme.
Sure Jan…
Obama attacked even more countries without congressional approval.
Hey Nitwit, President Trump never broke his promise. Take your TDS and ram it. You have no clue whatsoever.
Trump and Vance each said multiple times bombing Iran is not in USA interests. You are not able to follow matters, yo substitute personal attacks.
They were at war with the US. Your ignorance is wilful.
Israel fired first.
Analysts from where are saying the bombing was a failure?
Iran ?
MSNBC and CNN analysts of course.
Get over it.
Aug 20, 1998 – The same day that Monica Lewinsky was to appear before a grand jury and testify about her affair with him, Clinton bombed a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, falsely claiming it was an Al Qaeda hideout. Liberals were silent.
Dec 16, 1998 – On the eve of impeachment, Clinton ordered multiple, sustained air strikes against Iraq because they refused to cooperate with United Nations weapons inspectors. Liberals were silent.
Obama went on an eight-year bombing spree. He bombed seven countries in six years. By 2014, he had bombed Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria. He dropped over 3,000 more bombs in 2016 than 2015, taking the grand total of strikes for the year to at least 26,171. Obama bombed more nations than George W. Bush. Liberals were silent.
Biden repeatedly bombed Yemen in response to widespread Houthi terrorist attacks. Bases, weapons sites, towns, strongholds, and leaders were targeted. Liberals were silent.
