Watching LT Whiskey Pete's press conference this morning ... he sure is trying really hard to keep his job. Basically just yelling at the press over and over.
Nice propaganda video of a GBU57 test that blows up after penetrating 15-20 ft of dirt into a tunnel though ...
Meanwhile, Iran's HEU...
Another aspect of the kabuki theater going on here. That and the observed caravan of cargo trucks that were publicly seen leaving the site on satellite imagery.
Remotely? Yeah, that's pretty much always been the case.
These regimes have learned over time to adapt in that way.
