The resolution publicly credits and frames a U.S. strike—supporting accountability and strengthening justification for policy—while creating material operational‑security and force‑protection risks and the possibility of public misimpression about the strike’s effectiveness.
Taxpayers and the broader public: the resolution frames the strike as having degraded Iran’s nuclear program, which can strengthen public justification for U.S. defensive policy and influence future resource or policy decisions.
Military personnel and federal crews involved in the mission: the findings explicitly recognize units and crews (e.g., Whiteman AFB crews, escorts, submarine forces), which can support accountability, official record‑keeping, and recognition of service.
Military personnel, current and future crews, and the public: publishing operational details (tactics, chronology, weapon types, basing/refueling practices) risks revealing methods that could endanger forces, harm operational security, and increase chances of escalation or retaliation.
Named units, bases, and local populations: identifying specific units and bases (e.g., Whiteman AFB, 509th, 131st) makes personnel and facilities more vulnerable to targeting and complicates force‑protection and local emergency planning.
Taxpayers and the public: asserting a definitive outcome (e.g., that Iran’s nuclear program was "devastated") despite conflicting statements risks misleading the public and could lead to policy or spending decisions based on incomplete or uncertain information.

Formally asserts findings about a June 21, 2025 U.S. military operation that struck Iranian nuclear sites, detailing aircraft, munitions, submarine strikes, mission profile, basing, and reported effects.
Asserts detailed findings about a June 21, 2025 U.S. military operation that struck Iranian nuclear sites, describing the aircraft, munitions, mission profile, and reported effects. The text states that multiple stealth assets and seven B-2 bombers dropped fourteen 30,000‑pound bunker‑busting bombs on Fordow and Natanz, that a submarine launched more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at Isfahan, and that the mission included extensive in‑flight refueling, formation flying, suppression of air defenses, and coordination across three Iranian facilities. It also notes that all operational B‑2s are based at Whiteman Air Force Base (509th Bomb Wing and 131st Bomb Wing, MO ANG).
