Israel decisively struck Iran and America finished the job, obliterating Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure and, with it, Tehran’s fanatical dash to destroy the Jewish State to usher in its twisted sense of an apocalyptic “Twelver Paradise.” The three linchpin facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were bombed to rubble by a combination of 14 B-2-delivered GBU-57 […]

Trump: ‘Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace’

Fordow is both the most important and the most difficult target among the Iranian nuclear facilities that Israel needs to destroy to assure itself, and the world (that unintended beneficiary of Israel’s battlefield achievements) that Iran’s nuclear project has been reduced to nothingness.

Biden’s handlers give Iran and Russia green light to continue work at Iranian nuclear enrichment sites
