Jesse Watters: “US intelligence believe the Iranians squirreled away what’s left of their uranium into what’s known as Pickaxe Mountain, a nearly impenetrable bunker buried deep in granite where evil scientists have been working around the clock, cobbling back together a program that was obliterated during Operation Midnight Hammer. The bunker busters might not be able to do the trick. Reports say special forces might have to be inserted to physically shut it down on the ground...Both sides waiting to see who blinks first. So far, the President says in a way, we’ve already won.”

The objectives are in fact clear and restated almost daily. Personally, I appreciate the U.S. taking steps to stop a 47 year war against the U.S., our troops, our interests so my son and my daughters do not have to go fight (like both their mom and dad had to) the Islamic Regime in Iran when their interest/behavior gave them more and more capability (nuclear/ballistic shield) to attack us.

This is the second time the Taleghan 2 site has been destroyed. The first time was October 2024. The goal was reportedly to destroy Iran’s ability to make a key subcomponent of a nuclear weapon component. Iran then rebuilt at the site using a very different, hardened design, the purpose of which has not been determined, although a nuclear weapons purpose would be a reasonable guess. See image below.
Several reports on Taleghan 2 can be found on our web site.

NEW: Detailed assessment of the Israeli strike on Taleghan 2, a site "used by the Iranian regime to advance nuclear weapons capabilities," according to the IDF. We detail the damage done to the newly constructed, bunkered facility, and nearby structures. Below is a composite image created by transparently overlaying the post-strike satellite photograph taken by @vantortech on 11 March 2026 onto earlier pre-strike imagery.
The overlays are designed to demonstrate the high precision of the bombing campaign, accurately targeting the facility despite its recent reinforcement — including full concrete encasement and a thick overlying layer of earth. They show that the bunker buster bombs were not only precisely on target along the length of the main suspected high explosive test chamber hall, but it is clear that the bombs successfully penetrated the encasing concrete sarcophagus into the interior given the evidence that the main blast(s) traveled outward from the interior to cause significant collateral damage in knocking down a protective defensive wall just outside the northern entrance. A small building southeast of the facility appears to have been partially destroyed by the concussion from the main bunker buster blasts.
Construction of the new facility only started in May 2025, following Israel's October 2024 strike on the previous facility. During construction, satellite imagery showed the front cylindrical portion of what may have been a high explosive containment vessel (see below). We also provide background on the broader Taleghan site, which includes a location known as Taleghan 1 rooted in Iran's Amad Plan and which we have been monitoring for almost 15 years.

BREAKING REPORT: An Israel-US strike on former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (near his Tehran home) reportedly acted as a "jailbreak" from regime control — rather than killing him.
The Iranian regime had already confiscated his phones & assigned ~50 bodyguards. The attack killed several guards; Ahmadinejad vanished & his location remains unknown to authorities (per The Atlantic report).

Their president is the one who apologized publicly for striking the gulf states right before they did it again.
Would not shock me if this is true

130s carry chutes though. 135s do not.

How are two tankers flying close enough together to even cause a mishap like this? Just by their very nature they shouldn't be flying within the same area. Crazy
Not true at all

“International coalition”
You better get Japan and South Korea involved because all the Europeans combined couldn’t raise more than three ships at a time in the Red Sea.
We need way more than three.
France “maybe” can help a little if they leave their carrier at home. They don’t have enough ships to defend their carrier AND merchant ships.
I don’t think anyone realizes how weak our naval allies have become.
And our asian naval allies will not be happy pulling resources away from defending against China.
China could help and certainly has economic reason to do so but they refused to even protect their own ship in the Red Sea despite having a naval base there.
Scott, can we PLEASE all stop listening to the lies and BS being spewed by admirals who should have been fired day 1 of this administration?

The handwringing isn’t because they’re afraid we’ll fail, it’s because they’re afraid we, and thus Trump, will succeed.

I wish this KC-135 incident.coukd have been kept under wraps at least long enough for families to be informed. Now, all deployed KC-135 crewmembers' families are in anguish until they hear from their loved one. Squadrons probably on a comm black out until incident resolved / next of kin notified so could drag out.

Israel has relied on target information sent by ordinary Iranians for some of its strikes inside Iran during the current war, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a senior Israeli security official.
The official said Iranians on the ground transmit information about targets to Israel through Israeli social media accounts in Persian.
According to the official, the information sent by Iranians is first verified and vetted by Israel, and if it is found to be accurate, Israel acts on it.
The official said this was the case on Wednesday night when an Israeli Hermes unmanned aerial vehicle struck Basij checkpoints in Tehran, the report said.
