Now "the sky is falling, Iran can attack any day" was taken off the table, giving President Trump room to maneuver. The IC is trying to put him back in that box.
Meanwhile, the IC is still trying to remove Tulsi.

There is some uncertainty as to the effectiveness of the bombing raid, definitely some damage cause to the Iranian facilities but the extent of that is uncertain.
Trump and the IC stating that the damage is extensive closes the door to further attacks, including potential Israeli nuclear strikes on these sites. The Israelis don't have any bombers capable of dropping heavy bunker busters like the ones used by the B2s, however they do have tactical nukes that could be delivered by their fighter0bomber fleet, which would destroy Iranian sites. They are of course reckless enough to use these against Iran, which would be a major, major escalation. So Trump claiming that the mission was accomplished is the responsible policy move here.

Closing the door to further attacks for now. If there are repercussions to this action they won't be felt after only a week. It will be months or years down the line.Cal88 said:sycasey said:We're not even trying to fake it anymore.Anarchistbear said:

Israel entered the 12-day exchange convinced it could absorb costs; the ledger now shows a nation bleeding cash, talent, and confidence. Direct military outlays hit $5 B in the first week, then ballooned to $725 M every 24 hours, $593 M on offensive strikes that failed to silence…

Quote:
The Weizmann Institute, Israel's prestige export, lies in shards, 45 labs gone and $500 M in biomedical IP incinerated, pulling decades of grant pipelines and pharma partnerships off the table overnight. Intel's Kiryat Gat fabs froze mid-wafer, choking a supply chain that feeds 64 % of Israel's exports and 1/5 of its GDP; the high-tech sector now runs on skeleton crews because 300 000 reservists were yanked from R&D floors and data centers to guard empty runways at Tel Nof. Commercial flights halted twice at Ben Gurion, insurers jacked premiums, and foreign airlines rerouted around a country that once sold itself as the region's safe hub.
Capital is already in flight. More than 80 000 Israelis emigrated in 2024, the largest outflow since 1948, pushing the two-year total above 500 000 and forcing Netanyahu's cabinet to slap a travel ban on Jewish dual nationals to stem the leak. Investor confidence cratered: venture funds paused term sheets, construction sites stand idle, and mega-projects wait on credit that no longer clears. The finance ministry, staring at a deficit set to shove public debt past 75 % of GDP, begged for an extra $857 M in defence cash while slicing $200 M from hospitals and schools.
Analysts peg Israel's aggregate loss between $11.5 B and $17.8 B, up to 3.3 % of GDP, before counting long-tail hits from halted exports, cancelled IPOs, and sovereign-risk downgrades. Iran, still sitting on its uranium stockpile, spent a fraction of that yet forced the self-styled "Start-Up Nation" into a liquidity scramble, an insurance panic, and a brain-drain spiral. Tel Aviv promised deterrence; Tehran handed it a balance sheet in red ink and the visible stamp of strategic humiliation.
No. The Deep State means career bureaucrats who disagree with the policies of this admin and who use their position and the access to information it enables to undermine the administration by things like leaking information deemed contradictory or damaging.

I find this humorous because when it suits Trump he would call the intelligence community part of the so called "deep state".
You know what deep state means?
It means anyone who has been in DC for a long time. And they are the enemy of Trump because he's new and at any rate doesn't want to adhere to any of the old ways. No norms. Nor rules. No conventions. As Marty Baron said, Trump wants to be the arbiter of facts regarding justice, social policy, interest rates, military and foreign relations - everything. He wants to walk in and have control of it all, and anything that gets in his way and he doesn't like he can simply call it the "deep state" to discredit it politically and attempt to take it over.
When he likes the intelligence community, it's HIS intelligence community.
When he doesn't like it, it's the so-called "deep state".
His followers are too stupid to get this brainwashing that he does.
In other words, experts that have studied a field for decades should shut up and let the poorly informed newcomers do whatever they want.tequila4kapp said:No. The Deep State means career bureaucrats who disagree with the policies of this admin and who use their position and the access to information it enables to undermine the administration by things like leaking information deemed contradictory or damaging.
