Yeah and Iran has said they've already emptied the facilities anyway, now Iran could be lying but it would have made sense to empty the facilities when America has been talking about attacking these facilities for weeks now. So what has been achieved? I agree that if you were to make an attack like this (and to be clear, I'm completely against this) but if you were to do it, then actually destroy the nuclear materials, otherwise, what was the point? You've done nothing except a PR strike and only pushed Iran further away from ever de-arming nuclear.
But maybe that was the point and they just want an excuse to raze Iran to the ground. Iran could end up having more restraint than America if the damage isn't that significant. Seems like Iran is for now just focused on Israel (new bombings last night) but they're likely assessing the damage. We'll have to wait and see if Iran actually attacks US military bases. But I could see an increase in terrorist attacks either way, no matter if Iran directly retaliates or not. It also shows negotiations with America are pointless and pushes even more countries to nukes.
