Surprisingly, one of Iran’s options is to reinstall the centrifuges at Fordow. The Defense Intelligence Agency report concludes that while the strike damaged the electrical system and collapsed the entrance tunnels, the underground enrichment hall remains intact. This helps explain why all these other underground facilities weren’t attacked. They are even deeper than Fordow. I guess the United States is going to need a bigger MOP.

All told, Iran likely retains the 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium that the IAEA said Iran had produced, as well as an extensive network of underground facilities to produce centrifuges, enrich the material further, and assemble it into a small stockpile of nuclear weapons if that’s what it chooses to do. It’s no surprise that the DIA thinks the program hasn’t been set back all that much.

Perhaps it is hard to square the limited impact of the bombing with the spectacular appearance of a bombing campaign, with its screaming missiles and thunderous explosions. It says a lot that one of the most impressive displays of airpower in history did so little to damage Iran’s nuclear program. This is precisely why, at the outset of the campaign, I made clear that the strike would likely only succeed if the Iranian regime fell.

While regime change by airpower always seemed to be a desperately long shot, it was somehow still more plausible than the obliteration of a large, dispersed, and deeply buried nuclear program such as Iran’s. I think that the Israelis knew that, too. After all, Netanyahu named the operation Rising Lion, after the national symbol of prerevolutionary Iran. Israel’s national animal is the gazelle.

Either way, I am sure the inevitable internal discussions in Iran will now look different, not least because there are going to be a number of new faces at the table. The United States and Israel have changed the regime in some sense—just maybe not in the way that they hoped.

Iran Is on Course for a Bomb After U.S. Strikes Fail to Destroy Facilities

Satellite imagery confirms that Iranian capabilities are bruised, not annihilated.

Its IRIs fault ignoring the threat coming from Turkey, did they not see what happened in Syria? I swear I saw this coming 10 years ago.

Pan-Turk-Allahis infiltrated IR , even right now, they are lobbying for Baku ...

When a government become too ideological and push nationalist aside, this thing tends to happen.

it didn't even need intelligence activity to find out about the threat!!!! Just follow news and you would knew the danger.

seems more and more likely that the US strikes were not successful

Larijani also teased this, saying something like if they want to say it was successful, let them say it

this could also be a ploy by Zionists to bring the issue back into the news to encourage more strikes against Iran

Nonsense. It is 100% on IRI. They watched Turkey take control over Syria without any resistance. They watched them destroy our land corridor to the resistance, and not once did they stop to think maybe the nato country what fuels Israel and destroys IRIs land route has higher motives than just chilling with Al Qaida?

There's a pro-Russian presence in the Iranian system that is behind all of this.

Russia had made a deal with Turkey over Syria. Russia facilitated the process of handing over Syria to Turkey and the transition process was even smoother than the transition of power from Trump to Biden lol The fact that Bashar Assad went to meet Putin at the Kremlin a few days before he fled Syria is a strong indication that Russia clearly played a role in this smooth transition of power.

The GBU-57 MOP seems like an overall flop, with way lower performances and piercing range than what was advertised, but i don't blame the US, this was their first attempt at making a weapon that would be able to penetrate Iran's sites, and also their first use of this bomb in a real situation

I don't have a Twitter account anymore.
Iranians on Twitter make me want to bang my head against the wall. Too many libtards there.

The required time for repairing a damaged radar varies and depends upon the extension of possible damages.

In the recent sabotage, small suicide drones were launched at radar sites of Iranian IADS network. If we suppose that antenna along with the complex electronic parts of different radar systems were damaged, it will take 2 to 3 weeks to fully repair and diagnose them in emergency conditions.

Cost is an important factor in this field but it doesn't really matter when the country is at war. My guesstimate is that at least 1 billion dollar has to be spent on locally developed radar sites from long to medium range ones. Foreign radars including Russian radars such as Nebo, if ever damaged in the internal sabotage will cost a lot. Not to mention the availability of the damaged parts which have Russian origins.

Last year a huge amount of electronic components were imported into the country via a 3rd country. I don't think that we gonna have problem in the availability factor. Mostly imported from Europe and East Asian countries, they were of high quality products. It meets at least 10 years of Iran's needs. At least I am not worried about that issue.

So if the government raises funds, it will take only a few weeks to fully repair, diagnose and operationalize the damaged radar sites/systems.

“So if the government raises funds, it will take only a few weeks to fully repair, diagnose and operationalize the damaged radar sites/systems.”

That’s a scary statement. This should be a quick House Cleaning and all the thieves should be rounded up, put in jail and forced to cough up all of the nations treasurers that they have stolen.

Then Iran will have enough money, not to only rebuild the radars, but to build our Air Force 10 times over
