Trump himself seems unsure of results as he is now suggesting regime change may be necessary...ie nuclear threat may still exist with current leadership (above a my pillow advertisement)

Damage Extent From U.S. Strikes on Iran's Fordow Nuclear Site Unclear
Analysts seek clues through satellite imagery, but beyond large holes and evidence of discoloration, comprehensive conclusion of strike success proves elusive for now.

"Under what circumstances other than a literally imminent threat to the US, if any, does the Constitution permit a president to attack another country without prior congressional authorization? Pls address whether bombing Iranian...nuclear facilities would qualify."

For Trump, ‘Two Weeks’ Is the Magic Number
“Two weeks” is one of President Trump’s favorite units of time.
It can mean something, or nothing at all.

Two weeks for Mr. Trump can mean something, or nothing at all. It is both a yes and a no. It is delaying while at the same time scheduling. It is not an objective unit of time, it is a subjective unit of time. It is completely divorced from any sense of chronology. Yes, another gem by Shawn McCreesh

Update from SpaceX. Does not really say that much or acknowledge the enormous scale of the explosion and what must be obvious impact on the area environment and wildlife. "Sudden energetic event" i.e. firebomb.

Space Force is contracting with SpaceX for new, secretive MILNET SATCOM network - Breaking Defense
The MILNET contract with SpaceX is being paid for by the Space Force but managed by the National Reconnaissance Office, sources said.
As I reported a few weeks ago when Musk/Trump had their breakup, DOD is too addicted to SpaceX, at least for now, to quit. This now from Breaking Defense:

By far the most catastrophic incident since Elon Musk started operations in South Texas. Might not have killed or injured anyone. But clearly destroyed extensive equipment/damage to the area environment. Test was at SpaceX Massey testing range, inland a bit. Not SpaceX launch site, right on coast

My first day in NYC, I was on Central Park West desperately trying to hail a cab. A woman in a big pink hat & pink dress came up and said, “No, no…only wave at the ones with the lights on. Watch.” A cab zipped over & she gave it to me. And that’s how Carly Simon taught me how to hail a cab.
