Israel said Iran racing toward a nuclear weapon. US Intel says it was years away

  • Why is this flagged? Uncomfortable point of view for Israel?

  • Israel has the same number of nuclear war heads than China and didn't sign any nuclear international treaty.

  • Who's got that chart with Israeli gov't "They're [2,3,4] years away!!!" statements from the last ~40 years

  • US Intel didn't know about the nuclear reactor in Syria. That's all you need to know about US intel capabilities in the Middle East (or interests)

  • I get the impression that Israel is making bloody hay while the sun shines. They have an extremely favorable political climate to engage in some extreme military actions. Russia's stalled invasion of Ukraine and the election of Donald Trump have pretty much ensured that they will not have to deal with blowback from their aggression.

    They don't have to worry about sanctions from the USA led coalition. The don't have to worry about Russian reinforcement of Iran. So they pretty much have a free hand at this point to completely demolish Iran's military and nuclear capability.

    It's amazing how many factors lead to situations like this. The current geopolitical climate is total chaos.

  • To all the conspiracy theorists who claim it's just an excuse Israel used to bomb Iran... the UN has independent agreement with Israel's claims.

  • Trump: Netanyahu wants me to say they have it.

    Gabbard: Putin wants me to say they don't.

  • And... is this nuclear weapon in the room with us, right now?

  • Is it the same source of US intel which said Kyiv would fall within couple days if russia launched a full scale invasion?

  • What a clown show. But I'm not surprised, USA intel is now controlled by the religious sect member, who also vocally supports Putin's war.

    The easy control question to this news is this - did Iran had multiple uranium enrichment centrifuges or not? If yes, then Iran was obviously actively developing A-bomb and was close to it by any possible metric. If no, then Israel with its famed intelligence agency has now started an open war for nothing and bombed empty (no centrifuges, remember) bunkers and facilities.

    To me it is pretty clear who is lying and who is right.

  • Quick, get Colin Powell in here to show us where the WMD are at!

  • The first casualty of war is truth.

    It's state secrets all the way down. None of us plebs know what is happening deep in Fordo. Similar strategy was employed when the US went after Saddam, and it will work again whether they are arguing the evidence is one way or the other.
