Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

So not mission accomplished? Or is this just priming another invasion?
Yes to both, as of the last I heard that there was no radiation detected after the strikes so the stockpiles were unlikely to be hit.
The mission was a failure and they will continue to use the spectrum of a threat even if they had hit the stockpile.
If they weren't making weapons grade uranium before...
They sure as shit are now
and they should. they were just bombed by a nation known for its use of nuclear weapons on civilians. they need all the protection they can get.
The number one geopolitical strategic lesson of the past 10 years is "Get nukes and never ever ever give them up"
Pretty sure their parliament passed a law withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty.
I don't get why they don't have one now though

As far as the NonProliferation Treaty goes, they are threatening to leave it, but haven't actually yet.
Gonna need some well balanced centrifuges for that.
So the mission that is likely to spark regional wars in the Middle East was either a success, or it wasn't. And Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, unless Iran hasn't.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump administration.
Put down the WMDs!
Alright Couch Fucker, why don't you do the whole human race a favor and go over there to personally find and reveal the Uranium. You cost probably just carry it out.
