US, EU and IAEA all thought/reported they were most certainly making progress towards weapon grade U-235.  Granted many thought Iraq had WOMD...  so, hell.  Don't know what to think.  

End goal, no idea.  Based on Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc...  I'm not exactly thrilled.  Not sure there are any good answers on this one, just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the response, much appreciated.

Edit

I try to look on the bright side.  Iran is likely having major setbacks on weapons development and Trump's approval rating (and GoP in general) is failing.  Will we get super lucky and Iran will be setback while also having a shift in US politics this November?  I sure as **** hope both happen.  

I am usually more pessimistic personally. 

This just feels like the admin doesn't have a plan, and is not smart enough to understand any other lever other than attacking someone. They don't actually seem to be smart enough to know how to attack someone, considering they lost a few jets for basically no reason.  

Actually using diplomacy would probably be the best option.

But even ignoring things like diplomacy, there are still other options. At one point, the government is believed to have used a virus to destroy a portion of Iran's nuclear capabilities: Stuxnet

The administration just seems so stupid and antagonistic that they're likely just going to get people killed.  

And it does seem fortunate right now, that this is something that most conservatives even seem to be pushing back on. Hopefully that continues. 

And the general public seems furious.  I think the GOP is in trouble come November.  Hopefully we flip and neuter Trump or flatly impeach him.  I am optimistic.  I have relatives who voted Trump and now (literally) are watching their kids be deployed.  Let us say many have had a sudden change of opinion.
