Iran's Nuke Bluff Called: Did They Really Move the Goods Before the Boom?

The Senator Speaks: Truth or Dare?

Gotham. Always a city of rumors lies and half truths. Seems like the world stage isn't much different. Senator Mullin he's flapping his gums about Iran's Fordo facility. Says they didn't move the nuclear toys before the 'big fireworks display,' as if it's some kind of twisted magic show. 'They thought it was impenetrable,' he says. Classic villain arrogance. They never learn. It is like Two Face believing he can flip the same coin and get heads every single time. Hubris. It's their downfall. Always.

Fordo: A Mountain Fortress or a Mouse Trap?

Fordo nestled deep under a mountain. 300 feet they say. Sounds like a cheap man's Batcave. They thought they were safe. Cocky. They even stockpiled MORE material there like it was a giant radioactive piggy bank. 'We have the ability to destroy things that people think were undestroyable,' Mullin boasts. He sounds like he's trying to be me. Let's hope he has a better plan than just blowing things up. Because sometimes things come back. Harder. Meaner. Like a certain clown I know.

Trump's Grand Declaration: Obliteration or Exaggeration?

Trump declared the strikes an 'obliteration.' Classic Trump. Subtle as a Batarang to the face. But the New York Times is whispering sweet nothings from 'unnamed Israeli officials' claiming Iran pulled a fast one. Moved the uranium and equipment before the boom. Someone's lying. And in this city Gotham I've learned one thing: everyone lies. Even the good guys. Especially the good guys. They lie to themselves.

The American Edge: Severely Damaged or Mission Accomplished?

Mullin insists the US 'severely damaged if not completely destroyed' their nuke making abilities. He sounds awfully sure of himself. Confidence is good but overconfidence is what gets heroes killed. Or worse. 'We have a really good handle on what we've destroyed,' he claims. I need eyes on this situation. Need to verify. Can't just take anyone's word for it especially when the fate of the world is hanging in the balance. It is time to use Detective skills.

No Boots on the Ground Just Bombs in the Air?

'We will not allow Iran the world's sponsor of terror to have a nuclear weapon any way whatsoever,' Mullin parrots Trump's line. Bold words. But he also says no boots on the ground. Just air strikes and 'working with allies.' Sounds like a recipe for a drawn out mess. And messes like Gotham's crime rate have a way of escalating. Then before you know it you need a Dark Knight to step in.

Congress: The Sleeping Giant?

Mullin's hinting at a more 'sustained U.S. engagement.' And Trump didn't even bother asking Congress for permission. Another power play. This could get messy. And when things get messy people get hurt. Which means I have a job to do. Time to remind everyone that even in the chaos there are rules. Even for Presidents. Especially for clowns who think they can rewrite the rules of engagement. Because some men just want to watch the world burn. And it is my job to make sure that does not happen
