Asking as a dumb retired cop... when is it reasonable to expect damage assessment?

You’re certainly not dumb, thank you for your service to the community you served!

The military answer is never for civilians. Never let the enemy know what we know about we did. With respect to the military, they will have high resolution overhead photography at first light by both satellite and air breathing assets. I would assume real time was provided during the strike. Barring physical assessment, percentage of likelihood of X level of destruction will be provided the NCA within 24 hours.

Thank you @Red Leg

I realize that Trump can be braggadocios at times, but he did state that all targets were completely obliterated.
I would like to see confirmation of that claim.

 

[Doug Hamilton]

We have attacked Iran. God Bless our military.

God bless America and Israel.

Not that it takes much for Democrats to become a frothing mucky mass of anti Trump hysteria.

The Problem With Democrats Calling Trump’s Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Program 'Impeachable'

Democrats criticize Trump's airstrikes on Iran, calling for impeachment over lack of congressional approval.

Fox news is claiming that 6 MOP's were used, along with 30 tomahawks fired from U.S submarine

Isfahan would seem to be the only question mark. It has been described as a harder target than Fordow. Descriptions of bombs entering ventilation shafts spark the imagination of how much damage might have been inflicted. Tomahawks appear to have been used outside Fordow. If I were Iranian leadership, I would take a pause before escalating further--no more taco.

One other bit of data worth noting. No one that matters, neither Russia nor China nor any meaningful Arab state, only democrats are rushing to Iran’s defense.

Towards the top of my list of Issues with the Democrap party is their utter contempt for Trump. He could find a cure for cancer tomorrow and they would find a way to spin it as a negative.

I can understand disagreement with some or even most of his policies if you don't want him to be successful, but doing it 100% of the time gives you 0% credibility.

Aside from the usual Democrat suspects, Rep. Thomas Massie is the only GOP'er making noise over Trumps strikes on Iran.. ... calling it "Unconstitutional"

Muhammad Ali...........didn't care for his character or his refusal for military service during Viet Nam Era...but I did like to watch and admire his footwork and smooth boxing style. Trump has a way of keeping his adversaries off balance with his rhetoric and wondering when or if he will hit....reminds me of Ali's "Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee." Israel and America......Israel delivers those lightning left jabs, America steps in and delivers that crushing right hook......Iran..Knocked Out.

I wonder if it all could have been avoided if B Rocko Bama & Biden had done their jobs.

Mahmoud Khalil: Freed Columbia activist says Trump administration failed to suppress pro-Palestinian voices

After his release from more than three months in immigration detention, Mahmoud Khalil shouts: "Free Palestine!"

www.bbc.com

“Mr Khalil's remarks come a day after a judge ordered him released from jail after determining he was not a flight risk or threat to his community while his immigration proceedings continued.

The Trump administration has vowed to appeal against his release, as it continues its efforts to remove him from the US.

"There is no basis for a local federal judge in New Jersey - who lacks jurisdiction - to order Khalil's release from a detention facility in Louisiana," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Reuters. "We expect to be vindicated on appeal."”

The game isn’t over. Hopefully they are still able to flush him.

Putin says 'Ukraine is ours' and threatens nuclear strike - showing how he feels about Trump

The Russian president's latest comments on the war in Ukraine are in sharp contrast to the Kremlin's recent rhetoric.

The biggest sponsor of Middle East terror finally got a receipt today.
Because the mullahs have been leading the West by the nose for over decades.
Trump's actions command respect.
It's sad that he still gets on so well with Putin.
But that will certainly change.
Putin and Kim will be rubbing their eyes a bit.
Annalena Baerbock (former Green foreign minister in Germany and now UN president) is probably writing her statement of concern.

Well, Europe-that's how feminist, left-wing foreign policy works .

Since you are at it...why dont take out Ali Khamenei..?

While I am glad and support the recent US mission to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, I wouldn't say Iran has been knocked out. More like castrated. When they get over the shock of what just occurred, they will either be a shell of their former self, or fighting mad. I bet on the latter. This thing ain't over. Iran has a lot more, easy targets, such as oil and gas infrastructure. Most of the natural gas produced by Iran, which is a huge amount, is used domestically. Taking out the offshore, South Pars Field, would be easy and with little collateral damage. But this will hurt the Iranian people and might solidify their opposition to the US.
