If the U.S. wanted the Israel-Iran war to end, one strategy to end it was to use U.S. bunker busters to destroy nuclear sites, helping Israel achieve their goals and end the war sooner. Time will tell whether this strategy worked.

“for anyone who…says America use[s] its power only for selfish interest or foreign interests, let me ask you one simple question…Which countries would you rather live in? Those that were on America’s side or those on the other side? Would you rather live in North Korea or South Korea? In communist East Germany or democratic West Germany, in the Soviet Union or the United States? In Taliban controlled Afghanistan or US-led Afghanistan?…when you cut through all the noise, America fights for freedom.”

Despite damage, the Iranian nuclear program is not destroyed and they can rebuild if they choose to. They likely removed much material from the underground sites before the U.S. strikes.

“Today, more than 80 countries have air traffic control systems that are public utilities funded by user fees, allowing them to generate money quickly, issue revenue bonds, replace aging facilities, update their technology, and hire skilled staff while being directly accountable to customers. The U.S. is one of the few countries that hasn’t adopted this approach to air traffic control. The results are understaffing, outdated technology, and a lack of meaningful oversight—all combining to put travelers at risk.”
