BBC Is Reporting Israeli Strikes Largely A Failure, Can’t Destroy Natanz & Fordow

These two here…








Saying Iran’s two largest and most advanced nuclear sites, Natanz and Fordow, have largely escaped damage despite Israel’s best efforts, and cannot be destroyed.

Natanz has a pilot energy plant on the surface that has been destroyed but it was old and mostly irrelevant. The main part of the site is deep underground and well protected from damage and all indications point to it being unmarked. Fordow likewise has received very little damage.

Without destroying these two key sites, Israel cannot stop Iran’s nuclear program. Moreover, the strikes may in fact be a significant blowback to Israel, the Middle East, and ultimately the US. Iran had not decided to commit itself to the development of nuclear weapons. But now, Iran will most definitely become a nuclear armed power as a result of the attack. The development and production of nuclear weapons will be seen as the guarantee of the survival of the Iranian regime. And there’s nothing Israel can do about it because they cannot destroy the relevant nuclear sites.

This will lead to a prolonged and escalating war in the Middle East. Israel’s only hope is for the Iranian people to overthrow their government, and that seems highly unlikely.

In short, the BBC is characterizing the strikes against Iran as a massive strategic miscalculation that will ultimately end in failure and a much more dangerous Middle East and world.
