Pentagon Assessment Operation Midnight Hammer : Planned Over 15 Years
#Iran

Chairman Joint Chiefs GEN Dan Caine @thejointstaff

Strike at Fordow exploited two ventilation shafts

Days before, Iran tried to cover shafts with concrete cap

First US weapon removed concrete cap

Weapons 2, 3, 4, and 5 entered main shaft, traveling at 1000 feet per second to Iran’s underground mission center

Weapon 6 “flex” capability

The “kill” mechanism was the combination of blast and overpressure on the target

Officer from DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency) began the mission 15 years ago when the underground target was identified and the officer recognized the US did not have a weapon to counter it.

Years of highly classified (likely special access program) development and testing followed.

Caine said he talked with the two DTRA officers who “lived this single target” for years.

Post mission, they described hearts “ filled with pride to be a part of this.”

Leaked DIA record was preliminary assessment and low confidence. He accused some media of amplifying the report to create doubt, search for scandal, division and to “cheer against Trump”

NOTE: In the hierarchy of intel reports, a preliminary assessment with low confidence would not carry much weight. It’s an early snapshot that concedes the picture will likely change as more intelligence is developed.

IRAN RETALIATION

44 service members defended the Al Udeid base from Iran retaliatory strikes

Ranged in age from 28 year old captain to 21 year old private

Had “2 minutes to succeed or fail”

Single largest Patriot engagement in US history

GEN Caine “they absolutely crushed it”

BOMBER CREWS

Active Duty Air Force and Guard
said goodbye to their families Friday, not knowing the outcome, when they would return.

On Sunday, teams returned, tears flowed with families, said it “felt like the Super Bowl”

Yes, this is the party line. Thank you for sharing.

And hey, for all I know they are absolutely 100 percent right. Hope they are. But it makes me nervous that we are talking about giving the Iranians $30 billion for additional power generation and unfreezing billions more in assets. Why would we do that if we "obliterated" their nuke capabilities? Something doesn't match up.

Just to be clear….you weren’t nervous when Obama gave them 100 billion and enabled them to continue enrichment?

But 30 billion and no enrichment is where you draw the line?

The circumstances are entirely different. We are saying now that they were so close to developing nukes that we had to bomb them to stop it.

Plus, my larger point is that when Obama and Biden unfroze assets the GOPers here when absolutely nuts. Trump is talking abut doing it, having just bombed them, and my guess is you all will praise Trump for his cunning negotiation skills.

Because it brings them into the fold, gives an opening to show for normal relations and gives us more access to determine their intentions. If their goal is to achieve nuclear weapons they will at some point down the road.

If you can normalize relations and use it to negotiate a better peace in a volatile region why wouldn't you?

Also that was likely the one shot with the intensive we had. They will likely go to the drawing board and learn from the damage done to mitigate future attack. Likewise we will take what we learn to improve capability and adjust our plans to any adjustments they may make.

What I've read was unfreezing and offering packages with big money for them to pivot to civilian nuclear program and forgo any weapons research........ Well see if it's successful.

One problem we have is our frequency of change in power. It makes it very difficult for allies...... Much less our "enemies".

I think that's our military assessment. They seem pretty straightforward and honest about it. That the assessment is developing based on Intel, the more Intel the better the assessment.

I’ll withhold judgement until I see the final deal. But if it’s less money and 0 enrichment, it’s obviously a significantly better deal.

Is it not?

Why would you continue to sanction after you've removed their chess piece? We used the stick. Now the carrot?
