💣 Did We Actually Hit Fordow? A Mountain of Questions Remain 📅 June 29, 2025 | 🔎 BETTR Defense Watch 📞 Contact: (516) 586-0660 | 🌐 BETTR.community 📣 “I’m not a good candidate, I’m the right one.” ⸻ 🛑 The Headlines Say We Struck Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Site. But what really happened? According to DOD reports, the U.S. dropped 14 GBU-57A/B “bunker-busters” on Fordow and other Iranian nuclear sites. These bombs are enormous—each weighing 30,000 lbs with an explosive payload of 2.65 tons of TNT. That’s 37 total tons of explosive force dropped on one of the most secure nuclear facilities on Earth. Sounds huge… right? ⸻ 🧱 Let’s Put That In Perspective: Project TNT/Explosive Used Purpose Mount Rushmore ~450,000 tons (dynamite) To carve 4 faces into granite Hoover Dam ~4,250 tons (dynamite) To clear tunnels & foundations Fordow Strike 37 tons (MOP bombs) To disable underground nuke site 📊 That means we used: ▸ 1/115th of what was used on Hoover Dam ▸ 1/12,000th of what was used to carve Mount Rushmore ⸻ 🕳️ So What Did We Actually Hit? ✔️ Satellite images confirm some surface damage and collapsed tunnel entrances ✔️ Iran has begun repairing key shafts and backfilling blast zones ❌ No confirmation that underground centrifuge halls were destroyed ❗ U.S. intel sources admit it may have only set the nuclear program back by “months—not years” ⸻ 🚨 Reality Check: This Was a Message, Not a Mountain-Mover Fordow is buried under 250+ feet of reinforced rock and concrete. The bunker-busters dropped were tactical, not transformational. They likely disrupted access, not dismantled the program. This wasn’t Hiroshima. It wasn’t even Hoover Dam. It was a controlled hit on a hardened facility designed to withstand exactly this. ⸻ 🎯 Our Take: ✔️ Strategic warning shot? Yes. ❌ Mission accomplished? Not even close. If this administration thinks that dropping a few dozen bunker busters is a serious long-term strategy to stop Iran’s nuclear push, they’re playing politics—not defense. ⸻ 🔔 Stay Informed.

🛑 Ceasefire Collapse Confirmed: Iran Strikes Israel Overnight Just hours after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire was announced, Iran launched ballistic missiles into Israel, breaking the truce and showing once again that their promises can’t be trusted. At least 4 civilians killed in Beersheba, with further sirens across northern Israel Israel’s Defense Minister Katz immediately ordered retaliatory strikes targeting Tehran Iran claims it did not agree to any ceasefire—but the missiles were fired nonetheless This isn't a negotiation—it's a retreat in public diplomacy while terror grows in secret. Ceasefires are only effective when both sides respect them. Iran didn’t, and now innocent lives paid the price. Time to stop playing with peace. If Iran can't honor a ceasefire, they can't be trusted at all. We need leadership willing to call out evil, act decisively, and never mistake silence for submission. Jason S.

📰 PRESS RELEASE: Jason S. Arnold Backs Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites Posted to BETTR by JSA2026 I’m not walking this one back. The U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites was the right move—a bold act of military precision that sent a message to the world: Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. Not on our watch. We didn’t drop a nuke. We dropped the hammer. Let’s be real—Iran’s nuclear program isn’t about deterrence. It’s about domination. And since 1979, they’ve had their fingerprints on more terror attacks than any other regime on Earth. 🧨 4,500+ U.S. & allied attacks linked to Iran 🧨 $700 million annually to Hezbollah 🧨 Uranium enrichment now at 60% (just shy of weapons-grade) 🧨 $1.7 billion in pallets of cash under Obama… and for what? All that money bought them time—not peace. And my only question is: why didn’t Obama send bunker busters instead? I support peace—but peace doesn’t come from weakness. It comes from drawing a red line and meaning it. This strike didn’t start a war. It may have prevented one. No nukes. No exceptions. And if we’re the only nation on Earth willing to do what needs to be done without going nuclear—then God help us, we better lead. 📢 Full release: 🔗 https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-press-release-on-strikes-on-iranian-nuclear-sites/ ☎️ Contact: (516) 586-0660 Jason S.
