To the editor: A number of issues will be true on the identical time. Our Air Pressure personnel could have been very courageous and executed their mission flawlessly, our large bombs could have labored completely and the underground facility at Fordo could have been obliterated, however nonetheless that doesn’t imply Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed and it definitely doesn’t imply its nuclear ambitions have ended (“U.S. strikes crippled Iran’s nuclear program, Israeli analysis finds,” June 25).
Satellite imagery confirmed a large convoy of vans going out and in of Fordo simply days earlier than the strikes. Had been they there to vary the drapes? It appears unattainable the ability may have been moved in a day, however 900 kilos of radioactive mud? If it was packed to go, even Amazon may have delivered that. And talking of radiation, the place is it?
Ending Iran’s nuclear ambitions? Did Pearl Harbor finish America’s will to combat World Struggle II?
It’s really no insult to the Air Pressure to say they could have destroyed Fordo however not saved the world. Israel’s technique to deliver us into the struggle by bombing first mirrors that of Common Turgidson in “Dr. Strangelove.” Let’s hope our apparently profitable demolition of the mountain laboratory doesn’t mirror the ending of that film.
