Episode notes
US Strike Lacks Legal Justification
- The US strike on Iran's nuclear sites was not legally justified as there was no imminent nuclear weapon threat.
- Iran was enriching uranium to 60%, below the 90% needed for a bomb and was not producing nuclear weapons, per intelligence reports.
Israel Hit but No Casualties
- Iran retaliated with missile strikes on Israel, hitting major cities but causing no fatalities due to effective civil defense.
- Israelis remain on high alert, pausing normal life and awaiting further Iranian actions.
Uncertain Impact on Iran Sites
- Despite US claims, damage verification at Iranian nuclear sites remains unconfirmed with no radiation spikes detected so far.
- Iran likely evacuated materials beforehand and might have other undisclosed sites continuing enrichment activities.
