Seems like seriously crippling a terrorist Nuke site isn't enough for the Liberal MSM's.

But I feel Iran has gotten the hint. That they aren't dealing Obama or his puppets and the USA and others are seriously fed up trying to work with the current Iranian Terrorist Leadership for for peace. Given constant lies and breaking of agreements the last 30+ years.

But now some questions for NBC:

What is the data source of NBC's article?

Is it Anti-MAGA leakers inside the US Gov leaking national security data (a treasonous act)?

Their backdoor connections with the Ayatollah's staff?
(a treasonous act)

Or is it a bait article to get Trump in a defensive mode?
(a typical MSM lame stunt)

So to the Ayatollah's staff, I say.
Distance yourself physically from bunker buster points of interest an.d consider the fact a new regime (coup) is needed to survive.

Because, the only way to deal with Evil and the Terrorists it generates and uses is to eliminate it.

#4 They started out at 'no effect'.
They're now at 1 of 3 'badly set back'.
By the end of the month they'll arrive at 'obliterated'.

#6 'NBC'? "Never been Correct"

The surprise here is that people still talk about them! I just ignore the MSM for the most part!

#7 RAND: But the broader critique—that the 12-day air campaign was somehow foolhardy because it may not have permanently destroyed the Iranian nuclear program—misses the point.

RAND pontificates that the amount of damage to the reactor is inconsequential and misses the point.

Just saying...

#8 The only way you could permanently remove the Iranian possibility of obtaining nuclear weapons is to eliminate Iran and Iranians. None of these Do-Nothing ankle-biters, critics, political whores are willing to go there
