The @iaeaorg.bsky.social DG Rafael Gross says the Iranians "have also reported that at present the Esfahan and Fordow sites have not been impacted." If (big if) that remains the case, this is a decapitation strike and not a serious effort at degrading the nuclear infrastructure.

Netanyahu wanted to strike Iran when Obama was president. Obama said no and he didn’t. Netanyahu wanted to strike Iran when Biden was president. Biden said no and he didn’t. Netanyahu wanted to strike Iran when Trump is president. Trump said no and he did.

Tell me again how NATO believes US will defend them or South Korea, Japan, Taiwan? Trump won’t even stand up to Israel let alone Russia or China.

Unequivocal ruling from the Federal Court temporarily remanding control of the CA National Guard to the Governor, but it’s a constitutional issue, so surely going to the Supremes.

Iran nuclear in a year or two? Saudi and Turkey not far behind?

We warned the choice was between the Iran nuke deal and war. We were called extremists. Now we have been proven right. Trump killed the Iran deal. He and Bibi are to blame for this strike and the start of this war.

Iran will rebuild any destroyed nuclear capabilities in months or a few years - maybe less - and will likely move to build an active nuclear deterrent to prevent future strikes. Withdrawal from nuclear treaties now all but certain.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

This is probably the the new North Korean uranium enrichment facility that @iaeaorg.bsky.social DG Grossi briefed the Board of Governors about. @slair.bsky.social and I have a summary on the blog. Nice shot by our friends at @planetlabs.bsky.social BTW.

What even IS that Gabbard vid?!? 🤔 Y'all should really catch the latest episode of my #JusticeByDesign podcast where @jonatomic.bsky.social breaks down the real nuclear threat, and how to stop it. With no weird music or dramatic lighting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xza...

This is both bizarre and fascinating. Do you think Tulsi Gabbard knows she is part of an Administration that is requesting $100 billion for nuclear weapons and related programs next year and an active contributor to increased nuclear risk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpuP...
