Dem Rep. Himes: Trump Administration Claim Iran Strikes Were Successful ‘Insane’

HUNT So I take ░░░░░░░░ earlier point about the ░░░░░░░░ of these strikes but ░░░░░░░░ we look at what ░░░░░░░░ administration says that they ░░░░░░░░ accomplished here that they ░░░░░░░░ set this program back ░░░░░░░░ that these strikes were ░░░░░░░░ do you think the ░░░░░░░░ is a safer place ░░░░░░░░ morning than it was ░░░░░░░░ HIMES Kasie stop Look ░░░░░░░░ s insane That s ░░░░░░░░ You don t need ░░░░░░░░ be an intelligence professional ░░░░░░░░ know that we have ░░░░░░░░ idea whether these strikes ░░░░░░░░ successful Now if what ░░░░░░░░ re looking for is ░░░░░░░░ big boom and a ░░░░░░░░ hole in the ground ░░░░░░░░ have very little doubt ░░░░░░░░ our bunker busters did ░░░░░░░░ big boom and a ░░░░░░░░ large hole in the ░░░░░░░░ But Kasie we don ░░░░░░░░ know sitting here right ░░░░░░░░ whether the highly enriched ░░░░░░░░ was in the Fordo ░░░░░░░░ or in the Natanz ░░░░░░░░ We have no idea ░░░░░░░░ the coming weeks we ░░░░░░░░ develop a more specific ░░░░░░░░ but we have no ░░░░░░░░ in the world right ░░░░░░░░ whether these strikes were ░░░░░░░░ any way successful Look ░░░░░░░░ think all three facilities ░░░░░░░░ probably smoking rubble right ░░░░░░░░ but the Iranians are ░░░░░░░░ dumb people right There ░░░░░░░░ some chance that given ░░░░░░░░ this raid was telegraphed ░░░░░░░░ a couple of days ░░░░░░░░ they might have thrown ░░░░░░░░ couple hundred kilograms of ░░░░░░░░ enriched uranium into the ░░░░░░░░ of a truck and ░░░░░░░░ it somewhere else in ░░░░░░░░ case you have got ░░░░░░░░ possibility and I will ░░░░░░░░ possibility here that there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of highly ░░░░░░░░ uranium sitting underneath a ░░░░░░░░ mad regime that has ░░░░░░░░ that the only way ░░░░░░░░ re going to forestall ░░░░░░░░ in the future is ░░░░░░░░ actually sprint towards a ░░░░░░░░ weapon Now if tomorrow ░░░░░░░░ they kick out the ░░░░░░░░ and decide to do ░░░░░░░░ in some cave that ░░░░░░░░ don t even know ░░░░░░░░ there is a very ░░░░░░░░ possibility that some time ░░░░░░░░ the next six months ░░░░░░░░ so we see what ░░░░░░░░ saw in Pakistan or ░░░░░░░░ India which is holy ░░░░░░░░ there s a nuclear ░░░░░░░░ being tested So anyway ░░░░░░░░ you can tell anybody ░░░░░░░░ says that they have ░░░░░░░░ any idea whatsoever about ░░░░░░░░ these raids did anything ░░░░░░░░ than create a big ░░░░░░░░ and a lot of ░░░░░░░░ has no idea what ░░░░░░░░ re talking about.”
