Not F14s then, and not F22s now.
Iran was *the only* country besides the US to fly F14s.
Today the F22 is *illegal* to sell to any other country.
Even our closest allies aren't allowed to buy them.
We lease nuclear armed Trident missiles to the UK, but if they wanted F22s the answer would be "no".

Khamenei goes off the deep end: Giving up on uranium enrichment reveals Iran's flawed strategy
Khamenei goes off the deep end: Giving up on uranium enrichment reveals Iran's flawed strategy
60% enriched uranium will continue to remain useless for an extensive period of time if Tehran doesn't start to invest billions more into resources. Iran finally has come out and said it straight to the public: Five months after the June war with Israel, its fleet of 20,000 centrifuges...www.yahoo.com
Looks like the attack was pretty damned successful.
All of the posters here suggesting that it was only a minor setback appear to be very very wrong.
I don't know what to think and realize we're never going to know the truth.
Iran is never going to admit to the extent of damage.
We don't have access to the most sensitive intelligence reports. And I'm glad we don't because we probably shouldn't.

Well, they've given up on trying to further enrich their uranium. I would say at least for the remainder of Trump's term.
Probably because they know they can't hide it, and they could spend a year or two building a new enrichment facility, and we could just destroy it in a day again.
Seems pretty apparent that their existing facilities are destroyed beyond repair. It's likely that it would be easier for them to start from scratch than to salvage anything from the old site.
I think that's probably the definition of absolute success for that mission.

The fact that Israel secretly carried out the attacks from within their borders has them babbling in their sleep. They got them looking over their shoulders when they wipe their asses....bare handed.

I'm sure they're scared of that.
But the fact that we carried out our strikes from within *our* borders on the other side of the world has to have them absolutely terrified. They have missiles they can lob at Telaviv. They can't even attempt an attack on Montana.
And the fact that we blew up a facility they built as hardened as they can manage, buried beneath 300 feet of solid rock, and their first indication they were under attack was the explosions had to be a real wake up call.
