    Iran no longer has the capacity to enrich uranium or make ballistic missiles after 20 days of ⁠U.S.-Israeli air attacks

    I suspect that the enrichment capacity was probably gone after the earlier bombing that specifically targeted it, but the ballistic missile production capacity wasn’t.

    Operation Midnight Hammer Drops 14 Bunker Busters in Record B-2 Strike Against Iranian Nuclear Sites

    A bomber mission of seven B-2 Spirit bombers and more than 30 Tomahawk Attack Missiles fired from an Ohio-class guided-missile nuclear submarine struck three Iranian nuclear sites at Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo, Pentagon officials confirmed on Sunday.

    That was almost a year ago.
