"Multiple sources are reporting limited damage on the sites, from different perspective and biases, (not even from Trump supporting sources), but all with this same conclusion.
Iranian authorities already reportedly said that facilities were evacuated ahead of time, there is limited damage underground and nuclear materials were removed from Fordo — which lends to the idea of this being a choreographed chess move to provide a political off ramp for the U.S. out of any public demand for the conflict.
Hopefully Iran shows more restraint and doesn’t retaliate. If they do reciprocate to save face with a limited symbolic response, it may be possible Trump decides not to retaliate and escalate further, (like the time in 2020 at Al-Assad airspace because of the limited damage and lack of casualties.) This could very well all be a choreographed wag the dog scenario to defang Israel from having an excuse to expand their ambitions of greater regional dominance.
As always, there appears to be more going on beneath the surface of the public narrative than meets the eye."
