Well, now it's confirmed. I was waiting for the satellite images before I posted this conclusion, and the images only confirm it. Fordow was barely damaged at all. Trump's claim that it was "obliterated" is clearly just TFZ (Theater For Zionists). Interestingly, this appears to be an actual example of Trump waging "5D chess" against the deranged, bloodthirsty Zionists, who demanded bombings, so Trump gave them some sort of bombing that produced a few small craters visible via satellite, but that barely displaced any soil at all.
From the radial blast scars and the unimpressive apparent depth of the craters, it's highly doubtful these were "bunker busters" at all. Although I will defer to more qualified weapons experts like Ritter, Postol, Macgregor and others, my initial impression is that these look like cruise missile strikes, or maybe 2000-lb. bombs at most. There is no visible collapse of under structures. No IR signature of fracturing of a facility underneath. No radiation signature, and the estimated diameter of each blast crater seems to be about 10 meters, which is significant against a building but not against a mountain.
Although this is subject to change if new information is acquired, it looks like Trump PRETENDED to destroy Fordow with a grand theatrical show of force, but in the end, the USA just punched very expensive holes in the side of a mountain and nothing more. We have also since learned that Iran was warned in advance that this attack was coming, and that it would be limited to these facilities, giving Iran plenty of time to evacuate and prepare. Now, after announcing Iran's nuclear program is "obliterated," Trump can attempt to exit the conflict and tell Israel something like, "We did our part, we destroyed the nuclear program, and the rest is up to you." He also gave the bloodthirsty boomer evangelical zionists a fairy tale to celebrate as they watched Fox News re-run the exact script of the Gulf War and Desert Storm.
Watch for Israel to try to now claim that the U.S. bombing was a failure, and that Iran's nuclear program is still intact, and to try to drag the USA back into more war. Because for Israel, this was always about attempting the complete destruction of Iran, not merely Iran's nuclear program.
In conclusion, I believe Trump has engineered an attempt here to extricate the USA from this war. I did not realize that at first, so I need to give Trump more credit than I did at first, and I retract my statement that "MAGA is dead" which was my initial reaction to the bombing. If Trump keeps the USA out of the war from here forward, MAGA will recover. Israel, however, will likely not recover, and Israel is looking far more exposed now than ever.
Watch for Netanyahu to try to pull a false flag attack against U.S. assets to blame it on Iran and pull America back into the conflict.
For the record, if Trump keeps us out of this conflict from here forward, I wholly support that, and Trump may indeed salvage his support base and he might even avoid Iran attacking U.S. assets in retaliation. To his credit, what Trump did here, now in retrospect with the satellite analysis, was THEATRICAL de-escalation while throwing a bone to the Zionists who demand violence and death.
