    Reports out of Tehran, military commanders could not stop laughing for long enough to mount a serious retaliation.

      White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

      Everything else aside. I can't get over the fact that the White House is now communicating like a teenager getting high with his friends.

      It's even worse when you see and hear them speak.

      The quickened and higher-pitched "pseudo-indignant" voice and the constant "liars grin" is just the worst.

          So they spent several hundred million to conduct a training exercise in how to fail? Trump can do that by just trying to have an erection.

          Hell, Jd Vance excretes failure

            classified as ‘top secret’

            leaked ... by an anonymous, low-level loser

            C'mon media. Ask the obvious follow up question. C'mon!

              The US military has said the operation went as planned and that it was an “overwhelming success.”

              Just to be clear, that can be true and the mission failed to do more than set Iran back a few months. They can have destroyed the targets they were told to destroy (success), but the targets may have been wrong or incomplete. Or, as the article suggests, the bombs landed where they were supposed to, but didn't penetrate underground enough to do the damage desired.

                  Man where is OutKast and their ability to see thru the Bullshit? Does this really just mean the US and Israeli media are manufacturing consent to continue attacking Iran?

                  Because make no mistake, at this point anything the Fascist regime says, well I just assume the opposite is actually true! Shit is so corrupted.

                      I think trump would immediately throw a company under the bus for their "weak loser bombs" if they didn't perform as designed.
                      I think trump would immediately "you're fired" a general for spec-ing the wrong bombs.

                      I think the intel was wrong

                        the mission failed to do more than set Iran back a few months

                        Iran. Doesn't. Have. A. Nuclear. Weapons. Program.

                        They have repeatedly presented evidence to this effect to multiple watchdog groups. They have had over 30 years to build a bomb and have declined to do so. The idea that this "set Iran back" is predicated on the theory that they were ever engaged in a project to build a weapon like this.

                        The dirty truth of the matter is that Israel does not want Iran to access clean, cheap, highly efficient nuclear power for purely economic reasons. They don't want an Iranian industrial revolution that might put the country on par with Germany or Japan or Brazil or China. Keeping the Iranians trapped in the 1930s, technologically, is a part of a broader effort to strangle the Middle East (and Africa and the South Pacific states) and keep them yoked to the post-industrial Western economy as a source of cheap materials and cheap labor.

                          The intel said that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons. The strikes happened because Trump decided to ignore the intel in favor of the random imaginings in his head, and no doubt Netanyahu encouraged him.

                              Why make it top secret in the first place? Iran probably knows best the condition of their stuff, who else do you want to hide it from?

                                I think we agree.
                                The intel trump used to order the strikes was wrong... The intel was wrong.
                                Presuming the buck stops with the president of course.

                                I doubt he actually cared enough about any briefing material. He probably went in with the mentality of "Iran is developing nukes, and should be stopped" then asked for intel according to that presumption.

                                      What? Iran already has a nuclear power plant with a 2nd one beginning construction in 2019 and a 3rd one planned. And the International Atomic Energy Agency had reported that Iran was not complying with their inspectors on numerous occasions: https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/06/1164291

                                      So wtf are you talking about?

                                      I'm not saying they have/had nukes, but your story is just completely made up.

                                        How does a low-level loser have access to top secrets?

                                          She was probably in color guard or volleyball. That would not surprise me whatsoever. I don't hate many people. It's legitimately difficult for me to hate someone. She's REALLY FUCKING CLOSE.

                                          This is the best burn I've seen a while. Thanks for the lols!
