A useless waste.

"Early Sunday (22 June), US pilots dropped 30,000 pound bombs on two underground enrichment facilities in Iran," while, "Supporting the surprise offensive, American sailors fired dozens of cruise missiles from a submarine at another key site." However, "Both Iranian authorities and the UN nuclear watchdog reported no immediate signs of radioactive contamination at the targeted sites." ET. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP, is 20.5 feet in length and 31.5 inches in diameter, weighs just under 30,000 pounds including 5,300 pounds of explosive material and is designed to penetrate up to 200 feet underground before exploding. CBS. The Fordow facility is 30 miles northeast of the holy city of Qom and buried 80 to 90 meters (260 to 300 feet) into a mountain. Its 3,000 centrifuges can enrich uranium up to 60%. Traces of uranium enriched to 83.7% were recently discovered there. It can make enough weapons-grade uranium to build nine nuclear weapons. thejc.com. Enrichment of uranium is the process of isolating uranium-235 from the heavier uranium-238 by centrifuging. "They take uranium (in gas form) and use rotors to spin it at 50,000 to 70,000 rotations per minute," so that "The heavier uranium-238 moves to the edges of the centrifuge, leaving the uranium-235 in the middle." The Conversation. Both Saudi Arabia's Nuclear and Radiological Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have found no sign of radioactive contamination following the bombing. Saudi Gazette. If the uranium was in gas form surely some of it would have escaped and been detected in surrounding areas. So, does lack of any sign of radiation indicate that the bombs did not penetrate deep enough to damage the centrifuges or that the Iranians had already moved the enriched uranium to an unknown secret site? Apparently, Iran had "removed 400 kg, or roughly 880 pounds, of uranium enriched to 60% purity. That is just below the 90% that is usually used in nuclear weapons." Mint. "Iran has responded furiously to the overnight US airstrikes on three of its nuclear sites, vowing what it calls 'everlasting consequences'." It is already attacking Israel, and deployed the Kheibar Shaken missile which has a range of 1,450 km and runs on solid fuel. "Its top speed exceeds 19,500 km/h outside the atmosphere and nearly 9,800 km/h within" and can evade "Israeli defence systems like Iron Dome, David's Sling or even the US made Patriot system." ET. But will Iran attack US troops based in the Middle East with the possibility of fierce reprisals? It can use proxies like the Houthis, resort to cyberattacks or attack US ships. The most effective would be the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, which would stop 20% of the world's oil and may cause a recession. But Iran's own oil also uses the Strait. BBC. The world has reacted generally with a shrug, with oil prices up by about a couple of dollars per barrel (oil price.com).  Israel is believed to possess 90 nuclear warheads. NBC. The US has wasted hundreds of millions of dollars to bomb an empty site. Iran has stupidly destroyed its economy and the lives of its citizens trying to build a bomb it cannot possibly use without facing annihilation from Israel, the US and may be even the UK and France. And the extermination of the Ayatollahs. That's probably what Iran needs.
