What was widely perceived as an act of war was, in truth, nothing more than a clever comedy, a charade orchestrated to serve far different ends. The American strike on Iranian nuclear facilities was not intended to set the Middle East ablaze, but rather to make a wider conflict impossible. The atomic weapon, brandished like a scarecrow, was never anything but the pretext; the true ambition of certain parties, particularly in Israel, was regime change in Tehran.
The military futility of the entire endeavor becomes glaringly obvious when one considers the very instruments of this supposedly divine wrath. These famous, much-vaunted bunker-buster bombs can penetrate no more than sixty meters of rock. Yet, Iran's nuclear sanctuaries, such as the one at Fordow, lie buried beneath hundreds of meters of mountain—a depth no conventional charge can possibly reach. To strike the mountain's peak in order to destroy what lies at its base is an act of theatrical absurdity, designed not to annihilate, but to create an illusion.
The stagecraft continued with a series of blatant clues for anyone willing to see them. Iran's formidable air defenses remained curiously silent, as if under orders not to disturb the performance. Furthermore, the American bombers, these stealthy phantoms built for invisibility, flew their mission with their transponders on, their progress tracked and broadcast live on American television. Never has a surprise been more thoroughly announced. This operation mirrors, in every respect, the one conducted in Syria years prior: a pre-arranged, symbolic strike with no strategic consequences, following a now well-established protocol.
With this Machiavellian masterstroke, Trump placated the warlike appetites of his allies only to disarm them. By conducting this operetta of an attack, he destroyed the belligerent narrative. He gave the hawks their moment of false bravado, then immediately proclaimed the threat eliminated and the time for peace talks at hand. And so, Netanyahu, the apostle of preemptive war, finds himself entirely stripped of his sole justification. By declaring the threat annihilated, Trump snatched away his casus belli with the skill of a magician, leaving him trapped, forced into silence lest he appear an isolated warmonger.
Far from being crippled, the Iranian regime is paradoxically strengthened, as America has just publicly relieved it of its greatest burden. The nature of the game has changed: we move from the arena of war to the arena of negotiation, Trump's preferred domain. The objective was never destruction, but the creation of the conditions for a "deal."
Def Sec / Chairman during their press briefing specifically mentioned that as far as they know there were were no shots fired at the package either on the way to the mission or on the way out of the mission.
It also fits perfectly with stealth characteristics. The point of stealth is not to make the aircraft categorically invisible. It is to reduce its signature to the point of being undetectable until it is at short range. And then to prevent any fire control system, operating at shorter wavelengths, from being able to pick up their signature.
Trump posted a Truth several days / week ago saying that they / we have "total control of the skies over Iran"
To me, that would mean that We took out their ability to see, hear, and certainly launch anything at the B-2's we were planning on sending in.
Which makes sense; AFAIK, that's exactly how it's supposed to work; take out the enemies radar / defensive / offensive measures BEFORE you send your big, expensive, slow & less maneuverable bombers in to do the heavy destruction.
To put it another way; I can't imagine a scenario where we'd send our B-2's into even SLIGHTLY contested airspace. Not worth the risk.
Actual quote:
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’ Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
What has stealth got to do with that? No surprise that "retaliatory actions" did not occur before the bombing. And no surprise that the Iranian command-and-control system is probably severely damaged, hindering any damage assessment, deliberation over what to do, and execution of any plan. There is such a thing as a response time loop (Col. John Boyd's OODA Loop).
My understanding is that Israel cleared the way, the bombers took a route that was already cleared by Israeli Forces. The entire operation was coordinated with Netanyahu.
It's a case of "So what?" If you can't pick them up on radar or establish a firing solution, it makes no difference. The transponder position error & interval is not good enough for target engagement. It's not clear if they shut down the transponder return for the actual target run and resumed it afterward.
as I guessed and hoped they arranged the attack with opposing force, in a way
Where to hit you to satisfy our war hawks and their dancing I monkeys then they are out of any more options. War over Iran can build whatever it wants.
I watched the video of the explosion’s of the “attack”, my take away is that it looks like an oil or gasoline fire in the distance, not an underground strike. What was burning? Was the mountain on fire? Such an attack should have produced dust and maybe some debris and most of the fireworks would have been 90ft underground. Impressive looking from a distance but not the type of aftermath you would expect.
How would they do that ? By telling the truth ? They are stuck. They cannot call him weak, or TACO now, and they cannot call him a warmonger since it was a very short operation and he called for peace. And I think the one who should be the most furious is Netanhyaou, since he cannot use any excuse now to continue attacking Iran to create the "Greater Israel".
if he do, he will turn whole world MORE against them, as the world is not silent anymore, nobody cares about Holo... stuff but everybody cares about needles dying of children and total Gaza destruction.
it is quite visible in all circles.
No, just a small minority of racists like yourself. A level of Q has swept the world, but you’ve always been wrong about Israel and where both God and Trump stand on the matter ☺️
Because the narrative of “Yahweh hates Israel, Trump is liberating terrorist nations from themselves” does not comport with reality. This is nothing more than a push of the goalpost to satisfy the anger and soften the insanity of people who want Israel to be destroyed. I liken them to the people being deported by Trump and Homan for terrorizing the U.S./Jewish college students and U.S. campuses overall with defeated Iran propaganda. They’ll likely never admit it here, but they would fund those terrorists to regain entry to the U.S. just to perpetuate a racist narrative and appease their own agenda ☺️ meanwhile, Trump continues stomping out their narrative by bombing Iran (as they deserve to be).

This is only partially accurate, but not in the way that supports the above statement and the overall message:
planners devised a deception: on June 21, one group of B-2 bombers from Whiteman Air Base, Missouri, flew west toward Guam with traceable transponders, while seven others, transponders off, headed east to Iran undetected, per General Dan Caine’s Pentagon briefing.

Fits perfectly with this scenario.

Does it fit the fact that even after the bombing, and on the way back from the mission there was still no retaliatory actions ?

If I knew any French speakers, I would send them this video. Good find! And very well summarized. Mercí.
I like your analysis. But, why wouldn't the MSM machine roast him about this? Why are the war hawks seemingly appeased?

FYI YHWH is Israel. They BOTH are the same entity; Saturn.
