Social Media is sus and filled with people using explosion from Syria as visual that Fordow is destroyed.

Natanz and Isfahan were hit only by Tomahawks so destruction of underground structures seems unlikely, but Fordow caught 6 bunker busters.
Gonna wait for sat photos.

Allegedly, up to 9 (!) B-2s took part, six dropping 12 MOPs on Fordow, 20 TLAMs hitting Natanz and Isfahan, and one B-2 dropping a pair of MOPs on Natanz as well. 2 B-2s I assume were held in reserve.

I feel part of this is peacocking to China, i.e. look what Global Strike Command can still do with a 30+ year-old airframe nearing retirement...how's your AAA around the Three Gorges Dam looking?

My understanding is that only a tactical nuke can even get close to destroying the centrifuges at Fordo. Maybe if those 12 bombs hit the exact same spot each time, they could get halfway there. But how plausible is that?

I quit listening when she said that Russia and China had a more natural alliance because they are collectivist countries and more centralized.

Maybe that's just a throw away line for her, I hope so, but Russia and China broke up when they both more Commie and almost had their own nuclear war in the early 70's.

Agreed that they are not natural allies, however, they are both very much enemies of the United States so they have that in common.
 
Another thing: Trump's wording and messages make it clear that this is only the first stage of the operation (not a one-time precision strike like some are claiming).

He keeps insisting that Iran must "make peace". But what does that even mean? Completely nonsensical, as Iran are the ones being attacked. How are they supposed to make peace? On what terms?

The end goal is of course regime change (it was never about "nuclear weapons"). But can this be achieved without US troops on the ground? Unlikely. I think we might see a false flag yet.

I agree that invasion is now on the table! I don't see why Iran would surrender at this point? Israel will be reluctant to just start carpet-bombing random civilian targets, so they really have to invade to achieve the goal of "regime" change. And as you mentioned, they can't do that without US support!
