Sorry, I thought your statement was about the war in general, not just the one American sortie. It did not begin with the American strikes. There has been a wide ranging bombing campaign by the Israelis to weaken Iranian air defenses (without which the US would not have joined in),
and that has absolutely inflicted casualties. Also, I highly doubt a single airstrike has "eliminated all Iranian nuclear capabilities", despite what trump may claim. The iranians themselves say the facilities are not critically damaged.
Ofc I know about the Israel-inflicted casualties, but attributing that to the USA is a big stretch. And initially you claimed I was making a big stretch...
And again, I initially thought you were referring to all military action against Iran and not just the one American strike. Since it's the latter, my objection is rather wrt the effectiveness of this single American strike at preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon
