The US intelligence community kept asserting that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon as late as Spring 2025.
Nothing of this was based on consistent intelligence.
I can’t speak to that aspect. But I firmly believe that if our military planned and carried out this strike, then we had very good evidence that their bunkers were at a depth these ordinance could reach.

Why would we bother with that level of analysis just to distract people from ICE raids?

Consider who actually makes this decision, in this case. It’s highly likely our intelligence assessment here is very accurate; it’s also highly likely to be ignored by the dipshits actually making the call if it’s not what they want to hear.
Like they did publicly. On this conflict. To the press.
