From the moment Iran started enriching uranium to 20%, which is far below the level needed to make a weapon in the first place, Iranian officials have been saying it was for civilian purposes. Israel has been threatening war.
Guess who was telling the truth? Iran, as it turns out, actually was using the 20% enriched uranium for exactly what they said all along, producing fuel for the US-built Tehran Research Reactor, which provides the nation with medical isotopes.
So all those Israeli predictions that a war needed to be launched by summer, or then by October, or then by next spring were all nonsense. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak today conceded that they have “another eight months.”
Eight months of threats from Israel, apparently. Iran keeps using its civilian nuclear program for civilian purposes, and that keeps pushing back Israel’s “red line,” but when it comes down to it, the threats are more of an end unto themselves than anything. So Israel has another eight months to “decide” whether to attack Iran for not good reason, which is to say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been wanting to launch this war since 2010, has another eight months to insist that the illusory threat is getting closer, while trying to convince the rest of the nation to embark on a disastrous conflict.
From the country that stole its Plutonium for its original atomic weapons from the United States and uses its own Nuclear reactor to make many more Nuclear weapons, Israel has a nerve to make comment,The IAEA has for many years said Iran isnt making a bomb, the Israeli Intelligence Agencies are saying Iran isnt making a bomb the US Intelligence Agencies are saying Iran isnt making a bomb,
EVEN NETENYAHU has said it at times. but still Netenyahu and Bibi are demanding the making of war on Iran. Will not do it themselves because theyy are scared that they will get a bloody nose, but demanding the US do it.
There is the problem that it will backfire, the Extreme Right of the US want to hedge in Russia and make sure that China doesnt get large amounts of oil, but if they attack Iran they might just find that the Russians get that magical Naval base on the Indian Ocean that they always wanted!
These red lines are a way for Israel to get what it wants from the US: more weapons and more money, and the US of course obliges.
Enough with this dog and pony show . If Israel could have taken action it would have . As the saying goes …. men go to Bagdad ; real man go to Tehran 🙂
Sounds a lot like those mysterious metal tubes in Iraq before the war.
BTW, for the record, to build a bomb, you need 95% purity or higher. When they say 20% is far below that level, they are not kidding. This is important as the blood thirsty war-lovers constantly try to infer that 20% is getting close to bomb-grade. Its not.
8 months. Interesting. IIRC, Obama set June 2013 as a likely date for war back before the election.
Wow I am getting censored on sites for posting the truth about zionist like patrick clawson. There is a war going on where we cant even name and shame our opponents
The details of an Israeli attack on Iran are revealed in Jonathan Bloomfield’s award-winning book, “Palestine.”
