  1. First US Intel.
  2. Now UN.
That the Trump admin is lying is becoming increasingly likely.
Beyond the obvious - that everything they say is a lie until proven otherwise. Well, here is the second source that Trump and co ARE lying.

US strikes did not destroy the core components of Iran’s nuclear program, UN nuclear watchdog chief says

Trump going for the glory again. He figured it was easy pickings for a way to glorify himself because of how easy it seemed for Bibi to get in and back out without any apparent damage. Great practice for our pilots and sub missile launchers but that's about it on the plus side of things. Like his lackluster birthday parade, Trump's not getting what he'd spent millions of our tax revenues for. In fact, it just makes him look quite the immature ignorant brat that he really is.

As far as what the Iranians got out of this, it seems to me for them it's now irreversibly imperative that they develop a nuclear weapons capability like the North Koreans did as a means for creating a whole lot more leverage at the bargaining table at the UN. Bibi and Trump have made things so much easier for Iran now that the IAEA is out of the picture. Speaking of which, how convenient it was that there were no IAEA personnel at the facilities during both strikes.

You Trump voters got some splain'in to do.

Thanks. Was able to correct because no votes yet. It has 4 answers. Yes/no before/after

I keep mixing up my wars. Imagine we have so many fuckups you can’t keep them straight
I heard a random stat the other day. Dont want to research it, but was something like "The US has been in some sort of war for like 80% of its existence". So, if true...i forgive you :p

Questions for @Challenger was there any evidence Iran was "very close" to a nuclear weapon? Where is that evidence. BTW 60% enrichment is not very close to a weapon

Is there any evidence Iran's nuclear program was "obliterated"? Where is it?

In regards to the title question: even if they were telling the truth, how could we know? They are perfectly happy to lie about the most easily verifiable things.

What we know for sure Iran was bombed not based of US intelligence.
