Will this be a job for Trump’s Super Sharpie?

On Thursday Trump and Pete Hegseth continued to counter a preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment that the attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities did limited damage.
Trump is now claiming the pilots are devastated by the suggestion the strikes were not a complete success.

I don’t think the pilots are devastated – they know they were on target and they know they successfully dropped their pay load.

And I don’t think anybody is blaming the pilots for the limited damage. They are blaming Trump for thinking he could blow up a facilitate that was so far below ground bombs would not make a dent in it.

So I think Trump is going to whip out his Sharpie and alter a satellite photo and claim it proves how effective his mission was.
Cheers!

@sunsporter1649 There's good reason to think Iran was tipped off before the GBU-57 bombs were dropped.

Sudden Deployment of Dozens of U.S. Air Force Tankers Raises Questions June 16, 2025
In the night between June 15 and 16, 2025, multiple U.S. Air Force KC-135 and KC-46 aerial refueling aircraft departed their bases in the United States headed to Europe. The sudden and unusual movement was quickly noticed on flight tracking websites, when about 30 tankers were first spotted headed towards the Atlantic Ocean and later arriving in Europe.

Satellite view of trucks lined up outside Iran's deeply buried Fordow nuclear facility a few days before bombing.

According to the IAEA, Iran had at least 400kg of 60% enriched uranium in multiple canisters. Did they ship it out and widely distribute it prior to the June 22 bombing? We have no way of knowing.

@ElwoodBlues Yup, everybody hauls radioactive material around in dump trucks and cement mixers, right?

@sunsporter1649Yup. Steel model 30B cylinders are typically how enriched uranium travels for safety (sometimes also containing boron carbide neutron absorbing rods). The trucks that carry them typically have cradles to hold them steady.
