Let’s not kid ourselves. Israel and the U.S. just fought a 12-day war against Iran — and already, people are talking like the threat is over. Like we won. Like Iran’s nuclear program is permanently gone and destroyed. It’s not. The dust may still be settling at Fordo, the centrifuges may have temporarily stopped spinning, but their commitment to wiping Israel off the map has not wavered.

The regime survived. That alone is their victory.

They’re still standing. Fordo got hit hard — or so it seemed — but the Iranians are already back at work with heavy equipment at Fordo, less than a week after American fighter jets dropped several GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs. We still don’t know where the 60% enriched uranium is. If even a portion of it was moved, we’re staring at enough material that can be further refined into several nuclear bombs. And if you think they’re not already rebuilding in silence, you haven’t been paying attention.
