Israel Is Now Bombing Iran's Main Uranium Enrichment Site

There are fresh strikes, which I'll get to in a bit. Let me digest the whole first night of the Israel-Iran War.

Which is what it is.

This post will be about the strikes against Iran's air defenses and nuclear sites. I'll do another post about their strikes against Revolutionary Guards and Air Force generals later.

I've had a pro-Israel friend who was so beside himself over his belief that Trump was selling out Israel that I had to quit the chat group I was in. I was tired of hearing it every hour on the hour.

I want to rejoin just to see what he's saying now.

Apparently Trump did want to negotiate with Iran, to see if he could pull an Art of the Deal coup and avoid war.

But Trump knew there was a countdown clock running, and a hard deadline.

Iran made it clear that they were just jerking him off -- as they've done with every US president, pretending to "negotiate" while they build their nukes.

The deadline passed.

Israel took out Iran's nuke sites, Revolutionary Guard leaders, Air Force leaders.

And Trump knew this was coming the whole time he was negotiating with Iran.

Two can play at the Talk While You Plan War game.

The operation, which is continuing into Friday, came after President Donald Trump asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give Iran 60 days for negotiation. Operation Rising Lion commenced on Day 61.
...
In the first post at 5:56 a.m. ET, Trump lamented that the Iranian leadership wouldn't make a deal:

I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to "just do it," but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come - And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner's [sic] spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!
In the second post at 7:36 a.m. ET, the president reiterated that there's still time for Iran to negotiate:

Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to "make a deal." They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!

More on Trump's warning to Iran that they had better make a deal now or face even "more brutal" strikes.

President Donald Trump warned Iran that further attacks will be 'even more brutal' if it does not agree to a deal following Israel's shock strikes on its nuclear and military facilities.
Overnight, Operation Rising Lion targeted Tehran and Iran's nuclear sites in a devastating wave of assaults, escalating fears the Middle East is on the brink of all-out war.

This is a standard claim: That "tensions are escalating" and that we're "on the brink of an all-out war."

In what sense? Who would be the other parties in this "all-out war"?

The Gulf States are all engaged in war, cold or hot, against Iran. Which Middle Eastern powers are going to join the war on Iran's side, exactly?

Now, Iran's terror proxy army of the Houthis in Yemen did attempt a retalliatory missile attack against Israel.

They hit the Palestinians.

This is not the "all-out war" I was promised.

Explosions boomed across the Iranian capital as simultaneous raids hit buildings believed to be the homes of senior military commanders.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the sophisticated operation targeted a nuclear facility in Natanz and a ballistic missile program, thanks to a secret drone base set up in Iran by Mossad.
The operation involved a barrage of explosive-laden drones and more than 200 Israeli jets.
Though the US initially sought to distance itself from the attack, Trump has now told Iran: 'There is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.'

...
Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff is reportedly hopeful that the talks will continue as scheduled despite Israel's actions overnight.
The president followed up on Truth Social saying Iran 'should have' followed his 60-day ultimatum to strike a nuclear deal.

What Israel did to Iran is incredible. As David Strom commented, this is perhaps even more audacious and incredible a covert operation than we saw in the "Grim Beeper" assassination campaign.

Israel commandos smuggled explosives-carrying drones inside Iran and set up whole "drone bases." I assume these would be in desert areas or otherwise barren land.

The reason they did this is because they wanted a first strike against Iran's air defenses and air force that came out of nowhere. There would be no long warning as Iran tracked Israeli planes from Israeli airspace. No, these drones, already in Iran and within miles of their targets, would just suddenly take flight and start hitting their targets within minutes with no opportunity to intercept them and no chance to scramble their planes off the ground.

That's the first strike -- to cripple their air defense and grant Israel complete unchallenged air supremacy over Iran.

The drones took out Iran's entire air defense grid.

And then the jets took off to start dropping the bigger payloads.

Alongside the Israeli military's strikes on nuclear and military targets, Mossad successfully pulled off a daring covert operation designed to cripple Iran's air defences and allow Israel's war planes to launch their attacks safely.
This included deploying precision-guided weapons in open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile systems sites, and using drones launched from an undercover base near Tehran to target air defence assets, according to Israeli media reports citing security sources.

Trump did tell Netanyahu to not interfere with the talks and give the (fruitless) negotiations a chance.

Which Netanyahu did.

But the countdown was still running.

When asked at the White House about the possibility of a strike on Iran last night, Trump said: 'I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like something that could very well happen.
'It's very simple - not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Other than that, I want them to be successful. We'll help them be successful. We'll trade with them, we'll do whatever's necessary.
'I want to have an agreement with Iran. We're fairly close. As long as there is an agreement, I don't want [Israel] going in because I think that would blow it.
'There's a chance of massive conflict. We have a lot of American people in this area, and I said: 'We've gotta tell them to get out because something could happen soon, and I don't want to be the one who didn't give them any warning.'
'We've had very good discussions with Iran. Whether or not we get there, I can't tell you - but it'll happen soon.'
He admitted to Fox News today that he was made aware of Operation Rising Lion before it happened.
He added: 'Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table.
'We will see there are several people in leadership in Iran that will not be coming back.'
Early this morning, Iran launched a swarm of 100 drones towards Israel in retaliation to Israel's strikes.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel 'should anticipate a severe punishment', adding that military forces 'won't let them go unpunished.'
He said that Israel had 'sealed for itself a bitter and painful destiny.'
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry said its army would not 'hesitate to defend Iran's sovereignty with full strength and in the manner they deem appropriate'.
But Iran's drones have reportedly been intercepted by Israel's air defence systems.

Where's the all-out war, then?

@MarioNawfal
BREAKING: MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS REPORTED IN FORDOW - THE HEART OF IRAN'S NUCLEAR FORTRESS
2 massive explosions have rocked the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, Iran's most heavily protected nuclear facility.
Fordow isn't just another site - it's Iran's nuclear red line.
Buried deep in a mountain near Qom, the site was built to survive bunker-busting bombs and sustain uranium enrichment even under attack.
Targeting Fordow signals Israel's intent to take out Iran's nuclear program at its core - not just delay it, but dismantle it.
Hitting this facility risks crossing thresholds Tehran has long warned are untouchable.
This is no longer shadow war.
It's direct.

One can "harden" a nuclear site by burying it deep underground or in the mountains. But the earth won't shield you forever. Not if enemy planes are able to loiter over your location and drop munition after munition on you.

Refueling jets in mid-air is a dangerous operation. You have to fly slowly and in a perfectly straight and level line. In other words, you have to make yourself a very easy target during the refueling operation.

You would never, ever do this over enemy territory.

Not unless you had completely wiped out their air defenses and air force and could refuel in their air space with total impunity.

Israel has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever over Iranian skies. pic.twitter.com/f6XNFQAwf7

Many people are pointing out that China keeps buying American farmland near American military bases.

Obviously, China might be buying this land -- and almost certainly is buying this land -- to hide their own first-strike drone air forces right next to American bases.

Trump will have to act on this threat.

ISRAEL: BOMBS WON'T END IRAN'S NUKES - BUT MAYBE DIPLOMACY WILL (AFTER)
Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi:
"Iran's nuclear programme cannot be completely destroyed by a military campaign.

But the military campaign could create the conditions for a long-term deal, led by the United States, that will completely thwart the nuclear program."
So... blow it up now, negotiate later?

I dunno, but the thing with these underground sites is that they still need airshafts to the surface and still need surface elevators and stairways. If you bomb the shafts that communicate from the base to the surface, the base is unusable and inaccessible.

Iran could bring in construction equipment to dig the bases out... but Israel is going to keep on bombing.

Same with Ukraine and Russia. If it truly was a war between Russia and Ukraine, I wouldn't care.

But at the end of the day, we can't fix domestic issues if we continue this plan of trying to be chessmasters moving pieces around the board, causing all kinds of calamities around the world, then inviting the people displaced by these wars to come live in the US.

137 Just saw another story about what an incredible victory this has been - Israel knew the identities of the men who would be in charge of a ballisic missile counterstrike against Israel. They also knew that these men would gather as soon as any attack happened, to plan out such a counterstrike. And they knew which building that was.
The IDF said that they knew they could keep them there by throwing new things at them - and as soon as one of their intelligence assets confirmed these leaders had gathered in their HQ, the Isrealis launched a strike which destroyed that building, with all of these men inside it.

Big reason why no effective counterstrike has been launched from Iran.

People like Harry have talked themselves out of looking at foreign policy on a case by case basis, like any serious consideration of the national interest would require. Instead, he's adopted the Prime Directive, even with respect to adversaries who in no way share his non-interventionist preferences.

Yeah, he has a son who claims to be the legitimate Shah, but not even all the anti-government groups in Iran support him; apparently he's kind of a bozo. If there is to be a counter-revolution, it would probably be in support of democracy, not a return to oligarchy.

How much effort should we have taken to stop Israel from fighting a just war against a country that financed 10/7 and has been shooting missiles at it for decades?

Posted by: ace at June 13, 2025 02:21 PM (KRtlO)

Zero effort. We should not have been involved in any way, shape or form.

If Israel wants to bomb their neighbors, that's not our concern. If Europe gets worried about oil or trade routes or anything else, they can get involved.

But US dollars, intel, military equipment, etc. should not be involved. Nor should we in any way help deal with the inevitable contrived or real refugee crisis that will likely result from this.

And luckily, we're on the path to have more Muslims here than Jews in the coming decades. So we'll have to deal with the resulting street violence either way, but at least we can say "not our monkeys, not our circus."

I really don't see how this is a controversial position to take, especially for people who voted for Trump due in part to promise of ending the wars we're involved in all over the world and not getting involved in any new ones.

I kinda wondered why there was so much military activity flying over my house this week. It was either special training or they were scrambling for effect. Now I guess we know.

When Bush declared the start of the first Gulf War, every plane in Alaska scrambled, so we knew something was up long before it was reported. The sound of that is really awesome, in the sense that it was awe inspiring. And a little bit scary.

I mean, it's been obvious for most of a decade, if not longer. Long before the newest dust-up in Ukraine started. Plenty of blogs have war-gamed out how a drone-led terrorist strike on the U.S. might unfold, and it ain't pretty.

Obviously, China might be buying this land -- and almost certainly is buying this land -- to hide their own first-strike drone air forces right next to American bases.

Trump will have to act on this threat.

That certainly makes a lot of sense as to why they were buying that land.

I'd never thought about it, but since Ukraine and Israel have both used this tactic in the last two weeks, it is something we have to be prepared for now, not in the distant future.

182 137 Just saw another story about what an incredible victory this has been - Israel knew the identities of the men who would be in charge of a ballisic missile counterstrike against Israel. They also knew that these men would gather as soon as any attack happened, to plan out such a counterstrike. And they knew which building that was.
The IDF said that they knew they could keep them there by throwing new things at them - and as soon as one of their intelligence assets confirmed these leaders had gathered in their HQ, the Isrealis launched a strike which destroyed that building, with all of these men inside it.

Big reason why no effective counterstrike has been launched from Iran.

Attacking deep underground facilities is not necessarily limited to dropping bombs on them. Like e.g., a little robotic drill could quietly burrow in, carrying a hose. Pump in liquid explosive when the time comes. Just s throwaway thought, but as long as the Mossad can smuggle in and set up such large quantities of weapons, kind of gets one thinking.

Your schtick here is growing a bit tiresome. As someone who knows this stuff first hand, I am completely against war. It should always be the last option. But some wars are just wars that must be fought. They also must be fought to win. The case can be made we should not have been in Iraq and a bunch of other places. We had Afghanistan won well inside the first six months, when DoS lost it and then kept us there unjustly for 20+ years. Subject for another day. But shitbags like Iran have been allowed to kill my brothers for years in a lot of different places like those because fellow shitbag Democrats allowed it. We knew where the ratlines from Iran were and they mostly would not let us hit them. We knew where the IED parts were coming from and ditto. Go look at the wall from Iraq and AFG and see how many guys they killed. They fully intend to kill more people with a nuclear weapon. It’s their obsession. It isn’t just the Jews. They’re first. If there was ever a case for us to be involved it’s Iran. I wish Trump would grow a set.

If we could send all of today's Democrat politicians back in time to March 7, 1936, every one of them would be on the side of not sending the French Army in to kick the ass of the small German forces that remilitarized the Rhineland, then marching on and taking Berlin.

The French Army probably could not have done all that at that time, but our Brave Anti-fascist Democrats would be against trying.

Basically, Iran and Israel have been in a state of war since then so anything goes in international law regarding military, leadership, and strategic targets for Israel to go after.

Iran's leadership was delusional in believing that reliance on allying with Russia and China would prevent cataclysms from befalling them from either the Israelis or the US.

Only so long that the world really tolerates assholes that ignore every precept of international law over the years because of some idiotic 7th Century ideology/religion allegedly compels them to seek overlordship of the Middle East.

Look at the map in Ace's post. It identifies the entrances. I'm sure there are more, and I'm sure the Israelis know where they are. Block those with rubble, and nobody is getting in or out.

I would assume they would have multiple air shafts and escape tunnels, because I would. But doubtful any such emerge miles away from the site, because tunneling is expensive. If Israel has complete air superiority, fly in a landing team, secure the area, and bring in a portable drilling rig. Drill a 12-inch hole down into the cavern, drop in a small nuke on a time fuze, and unass the place.

He kinda was. Not that he didn't do the conduct he's accused of -- he surely did -- but it was all consensual, and obviously so. But the left needed a sacrifice in the early days of MeToo (remember that?), and he was it. In the first trial, the judge inexplicably let in tons of evidence about his conduct with women that weren't part of the complaint, and the main accuser admitted the two had a long consensual relationship -- after he raped her! It was all total bullshit that should never have seen the inside of a courtroom.

397 They brought in dozens of witnesses to tell stories about how much of a pig Weinstein is (I'm sure he is). But normally, you can't have "propensity" witnesses. You're tried for the crime you're accused of. Not some neighbor saying "you know, he was always a piece of shit kid. I bet he did rob that store, he stole my sons bike when he was 12."

Not necessarily true, depending on the jurisdiction. There are places where similar sex crimes are admissible as propensity evidence for another sex crime. More or less.

Israel will now, basically, dismantle their nuclear and missile operations. Oh, and their air force, and air defenses. Should take...maybe a week.

Yes, first the Brits, then the US installed a brutal dictator. In between they had an election and elected someone who wanted to further nationalize the oil production in the country.

People did not like dictator, he was overthrown. He was seen as an American puppet installed by the CIA (which was true), and thus the hostage taking at the embassy and "death to america" and all of that.

I don't know California Penal Code, but I can say in most states, duress is a term of art and usually means like, actual duress.

"Do this or I'll kill your mom" with a gun held to her head kind of duress.

If "duress" meant using a power imbalance to get what you want, then none of us would have to pay our mortgages because we signed them under duress since obviously the bank has much more power than we do.

475 I always expected the Mossad would enter one of the enrichment facilities with an operative, put an appropriately sized bucket under a storage tank, and start a slow stream into the bucket before leaving for the weekend. Let a criticality ‘accident’ render whole areas and the product stream dangerously radioactive and render the site unusable for a while. It wouldn’t take an explosion, just a prolonged critical mass at the right place and time.

483 34 22 I dunno, but the thing with these underground sites is that they still need airshafts to the surface and still need surface elevators and stairways. If you bomb the shafts that communicate from the base to the surface, the base is unusable and inaccessible.

Iran could bring in construction equipment to dig the bases out... but Israel is going to keep on bombing.

And if bombs only go so deep, they only go so deep no matter how much rubble stays on top.

Destruction of nuclear capability when your bombs can only damage down 100m but the sites are 200m down...?

I dunno, but I don't assume that airstrikes on these sites means actual destruction.

The Sun and Lion have a long connection with Iran as symbols. It was part of the flag under the Shahs. The Shah-in-Exile commented on the operation and called for the army to support the people, not the mullahs.
