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.

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… Read more »
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?… Read more »
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
You already OUT’d yourself by not understanding the 100 year American phrase “separating the men from the boys.” So what country are you from? Pakistan, I bet.
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… Read more »
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.
