This endangers the supply of Shahed drones to Russia; urgently needed to retalliate Ukraine‘s terrorist drone attacks all over Russia.

Iran's nuclear program should have been halted more than ten years ago. The sanctions against Iran, which have long prevented the regime from importing modern technology for missile construction or drone development, should never have been lifted. The deal negotiated by President Obama ignored Iran's ballistic missile developments. The achieved access for UN's IAEA to Iran's nuclear facitlities; the inspections and supervision did not stop the Mullahs from enriching hundreds of kilograms of uranium to near-weapons-grade levels. Now it's too late.

I don't believe Israel alone is capable of stopping Iran from constructing a nuclear weapon. Iran, like Hamas, has spent decades digging deep tunnels. They had enough money from oil revenues since sanctions had been lifted. Whether Iran will dare to test them (like Pakistan and North Korea did) is another question.

Just 2 moronic religious based governments that the world can do well without as both are as bad, crooked and murderous as each other.

Adolf Benji has been banging on about Iran for 30yrs now and just repeating the same words over and over and over again without change so why hasn't Iran already got a nuke?

"If they don't have 1 within weeks, months, it'll certainly be within a year." The words havn't changed at all in all those 30yrs.

Now he was also using the same words for Iraq until he conned stupid Bush jr. with B.S. intelligence about WMD's and then Bush jr. conned the stupid leaders of Australia, the U.K. and Poland to go all in and what was the outcome of that war?

Not only did it destablised region, no WMD's or evidence of their existence were ever found, but Adolf Benji still got away with his insidious plan and now he's just doing it again knowing that there's just another stupid president in the white house again that he can easily con with his B.S..

Please stop exactly here!

It was Israel who lured George W.'s administration into the war against Saddam Hussein? It wasn't the Neocons? Or as we called them: "Die Bush-Krieger" (The Bush warriors... America's campaign against the evil):



They wanted the war, since their first day in office. They searched the whole Middle East until they found a shady informant, Curveball, willing to endorse their fabricated BS about WMDs, their only source, btw.

Sorry, but I closely followed the political scene back then, the news, the detailed journal reports; the gradual steps of Bush's Neocons on a war footing; the futile attempts of Western opponents, foremost French intelligence services, French and German govs to dissuade the Bush administration from their poorly thought-out war plan; 'poor' because it lacked any considerations for 'the day after' (Saddam's fall).

Nowhere you will find Israel's government advocated to attack Saddam; because even back then Iran was the more dangerous threat, no longer Saddam; since 1990 when Bush's father George H. W. destroyed Saddam's tank army; thus his image as the strongest Arab power. That America's allies UK, AUS, Ukraine, Poland supported the U.S. war efforts was solely their decision; their responsibility, not Israel's. Different than in Afghanistan before, my government denied to support the U.S.; but of course didn't hindered them (e.g. Ramstein Airbase).

Israel's PM back then, Ariel Sharon wasn't advocating for an attack on Saddam. He was noncommitted; but he explicitly warned the U.S. admin in case of a decision for war to prepare a viable exit strategy; a counterinsurgency plan; and to refrain from BS like 'bring democracy' to Arabs. Yes, Netanyahu was advocating the U.S. to attack Iraq. He was influential, but a privateer back then, not a government member.

"Die Juden sind unser Unglück!" (The Jews are our misfortune!). We had all that already, these millenia old prejudices; 'The Jews are guilty'; responsible for A, B, and C,.. the rising popularity of blood libels in the 19th century among educated, influential elites... which finally led us into the darkest twelve years of our history.

Is or was Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi an Israeli agent?

Is or was Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi an Israeli agent?

Wow...

This al-Janabi figure was an insignificant, unsuccessful Iraqi taxi driver who had once studied chemistry, achieving dismal results, the worst of his year. He embezzled money from the Iraqi government. To avoid prison, he fled to Germany (tourist visa) and applied for political asylum here, which was denied.

Then he started to fabricate wild stories, portraying himself as a top chemist involved in the Iraqi chemical weapons program, and gained the attention of our intelligence services... and was granted asylum in Germany (whyever...).

He was handled by the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), a respected intel service... NOT!; U.S. intel received his statements through regular information exchanges (insignificant statements in a database containing an ocean of information). German and British intelligence considered him untrustworthy, a liar. The director of German intelligence personally wrote a letter to CIA director Tennet, not to trust this source. It's inconceivable that U.S. admin relied on such informants, whom they had never personally spoken to.

The Bush's neocons weren't interested in the truth about Iraqi WMD's, but rather in quickly finding an excuse to justify their war, to crush Saddam's regime who in 1993 tried to assassinate his daddy George H.W. in Kuwait. When that evidence wasn't reliable enough, they fabricated these ridiculuous illustrations of mobile chem labs for the UN Security Council meeting.

In 2003 the German Foreign Minister Fischer, a Green, shouted emotionally in front of cameras at SecState Powell in Munich: "Excuse me, I'm not convinced!" (to accusations of Iraqi WMDs). Some of the few things in his political career he got right (a former leftist rioter and taxi driver).

To now insinuate Israel placed this douchebag is grotesque. Really... ridiculous. These are conspiracy theories.

Is the Mossad supposed to deal with such insignificant liars? German intelligence agencies do that. Professionals don't.

Adolf Benji has been banging on about Iran for 30yrs now and just repeating the same words over and over and over again without change so why hasn't Iran already got a nuke?

"If they don't have 1 within weeks, months, it'll certainly be within a year." The words havn't changed at all in all those 30yrs.

UN's IAEA end of May reported that Iran disobeyed its obligations regarding the Nuclear Non-Prolifertation Act. The report stated (page 9) Iran accumulated 408.6 kg (900 lbs) of highly(60%)-enriched Uranium (>80% is weapons grade), Iran's enrichment capacity is: 34 kg per month. Total stockpile of less enriched uranium is 9,247.6 kg (9 tonnes!), among that 8,413.3 kg (18,548.15 lbs) of Uranium hexafluoride, the base material for the enrichment process.

There is a terrorist regime that since 1979 continuously, over four decades, demonstrated they are firmly determined to destroy the U.S. and Israel. They are responsible for hybrid warfare than killed already up to a thousand U.S. soldiers in Lebanon and Iraq. Israel will not wait for the day they finished their doomsday bomb, knowing that Mullahs already operate lRBMs: thousands of reliable heavy, hypersonic ballistic missiles. A couple nuclear-armed missiles within a volley of hundreds of decoy missiles... What are the chances Israel will effectively destroy all warheads of them? Since the Holocaust these people no longer wait if their adversaries may have mercy for them. They act, if they are forced to.

But Iran still don't has a nuke... Put a hundred kilograms of highly enriched Uranium 235 into a ballistic missile and spread it over central Israel. The results would almost be the same. Decay products of Uranium 235 are radioactive too. Millions of years down the nuclear decay chain until it becomes stable (toxic) lead.

It's not Israel who is at fault here. The UNSC is. It's defunct. They let this happen for decades now. They appeased this death cult, the Mullahs, year by year. I refrain from citing Churchill again... regarding 'appeasement'...

Israel is fully at fault and has been for far too many decades.

Meanwhile it's ok for them to commit war crimes by bombing hospitals, schools and slaughtering innocents, but they become total moronic hypocrites when the shoe is on the other foot.

Israeli hospital hit by Iranian missile strike.

And this is a war that your precious Adolf Benji started.

How many more countries is he going to attack?

Now there's even footage coming through showing huge crowds in Iran gathering showing their support for Iraq against Israel, so can you see where this is leading too.

Regime change maybe needed in Iraq, but it also needs to happen in Israel as well.

I was too late to fix that.

Meanwhile proves himself more stupid than Bush jr..

Is Iran close to building a nuke? Trump says his intelligence community 'is wrong'.

"My intelligence community is wrong."

With those words, Donald Trump waved away the advice of the entire US spy infrastructure — from the CIA, to the Defence Intelligence Agency, to the intelligence arms of the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force — and its assessment that Iran was not trying to build a nuclear weapon.

That assessment was presented to the US Congress in March by Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's hand-picked director of National Intelligence.

"The IC [intelligence community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon," Ms Gabbard said.

"Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorised a nuclear weapon program that he suspended in 2003."

On Wednesday, Donald Trump said simply, "She's wrong."

"I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one," he said.....

In fact it was Donny's deal breaking action on Adolf Benji's false info 8yrs ago started all this off.

Is Iran set to leave the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?

And read far enough to see the double standard involved.

USA loses WWIII

US has struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says, joining Israeli air campaign

Well, it appears that the US had bombed Iran.
If this is true, and retaliation ensues, perhaps your kittyman friend may expire in the not too distant future, as I live in the Great Lakes area, a sure retaliatory target.

Meow, my friends, meow.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

If they had any nuclear weapons, they'd undoubtedly use them on Israel first, could only have a few ie in the half a dozen range so their only US target would need to be Washington or something else high-profile, they would be low-yield Hiroshima-type U-235 bombs of a few kilotons, and they don't have any known ICBM technology to deliver them at a distance... they'd need to fly them in and would doubtless be shot down over the Atlantic.

Now if Iran's ally Russia joined in that would be another matter. Any sign of that happening? None. So catnap well. :^)

---

The real question is along the lines of is Putin insane enough to have Iran do a false flag Ukraine operation on Russian soil to justify Putin's ICBM's to be launched at America?

I don't claim any foresight, but after watching Putin's behaviour for few decades, his selfishness would actually be a positive in this situation. He cares only about his own personal money and power... especially this:



He would be highly unlikely to risk having that reduced to a radioactive hole in the ground over some ally of convenience (Iran) who has nothing of wealth or power to offer him (Russia as an exporter doesn't need oil imports, and can buy their run-of-the-mill war drones from elsewhere) and I'm quite sure we will get the usual grumbles and saber-rattling from the Kremlin and nothing more.

Slept like a baby, my friend.
I haven't watched the news in many months.
My theory is, if it happens, it happens, and there is nothing I can do about it.
So, why waste what remains of my life mired in worry.
There is just no point in doing so.
The world will continue to cycle and events will continue to happen.
I just choose to remain disconnected from them.
There is a lot of inner peace to be derived from that.

I am quite unlike our friend Martin, who sees the world as a complicated web of conspiracy and death plots by the world at large, in short, any corporation striving to make a profit.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

"The IC [intelligence community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon," Ms Gabbard said.

"Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorised a nuclear weapon program that he suspended in 2003."

This U.S. assessment was from March. The latest IAEA (the guys with boots on the ground) report dates from 30th of May. A regime that enriched and accumulated ~1000 pounds of uranium at 60% purity has obviously authorized a nuclear weapons program.
You do not spent billions of dollars to hide your nuclear facilities below surface if you just plan a civil nuclear power program, which the IAEA is mandated to support.
You do not pay billions of dollars to import the machinery high-tech needed to construct hundreds of complex gas centrifuges. It's stupid to built up your own enrichment process for a couple dozen fuel rods each year for just ONE nuclear power plant, if you're at the same time totally dependent on its manufacturer: Russian supplies, Russian engineers, Russian advice, anyway. Iran has extensive oil reserves; plenty of cheapest energy, gas, petroleum... No UN climate obligations hinder them to burn it.

Mullahs did authorize a nuclear weapons programme in recent years. It's obvious to the world public. It's obvious to IAEA. When Mullahs claim their nuclear programme has just peaceful intentions; it the same BS as Putin and Lavrov claiming they just strive for peace.

Btw.: you know what IDF did not destroyed recently? Not far from Kuwait/Iraq, at the Persian Gulf: Iran's Bushehr NPP, three pressurized water reactors (3 x 1000 MW), one active Soviet design, two further Russian ones under construction, options for six more. You can't breed fissile materials with these type of light water reactors. They are for electricity, civilian use. It's maybe dangerous to operate NPPs in a region known for heavy earthquakes; but that's Iran's business.

Every other nuclear facility in Iran is not; but that of UNSC, which refrains to act; disobeying their own rules. Why was IAEA established? Exactly for the Iran case, North Korea, Pakistan..., South Africa, Iraq... to hinder aggressive regimes threatening their neighbours from obtaining nuclear arms.
