Since the July 2nd explosion at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, media reports have said that Israel was to blame for the blast. Now, The Jerusalem Post is reporting that claims of Israel’s role are “validated,” and the attack was “physical sabotage” as opposed to a cyberattack.
The Post says the purpose of the attack was to send a message to Iran about the country’s nuclear program and to show that “progress towards a nuclear weapon” would not “be tolerated.”
Iranian officials said the explosion set back the centrifuge program by months, and some have said it could be set back years. Iran recently confirmed that the incident was sabotage and said they are working to identify the culprit, but so far, they have not officially accused Israel.
Israel has not officially taken credit for the attack either, besides vague statements from Israeli officials and leaks to the press, like this Post story. The Natanz blast came during a string of mysterious fires and explosions across Iran. During that time, anonymous sources told Business Insider that Israel was trying to provoke Iran into a confrontation before the November US presidential election.
Shortly after the incident at Natanz, a Middle Eastern intelligence source told The New York Times that Israel was responsible for the blast, which was caused by a “powerful bomb.” A cyberattack was suspected at first since the US and Israel attacked the same facility in 2010 with a powerful computer virus known as Stuxnet.
If Iran did that to Israel they’d be a parking lot by now. Just wait until Joe gets elected Israel…oh wait, never mind.
It would be flat, black and glow in the dark. Israel HAS the bomb.
Yet Israel no doubt has a hair trigger nuclear response, meaning the moment missiles from Tehran are in the air, the missiles from israel hit Iran. Parking from Tel Aviv to Tehran will be plentiful.
Hopefully, if anything comes out of the likely future, both the “holy cities” of Jerusalem and Qom will be utterly uninhabitable, if we really luck out, so will Mecca and Medina.
Rome will have to wait, but maybe the Iranians will have one crew that survives to give the Catholic idolators a farewell worthy of Revelations.
blowing up a reactor in Iran is not itself evil; Iran as now organized uses energy,troops, police and theology to repress ideas, intimidate open questioning of authority and fan the flames of hate against anti-Iran style Shia(which isnt representative of Shia Islam). But Israel’s role is not to “liberate” Iran or Iranians, or reform islam to return to its quite humane communal roots. It is to expand the current commercial business, the Silicon Valley of the Levant as it were, that Israel has become. In that incarnation, post Cold War,
Israel is not so much an “ally” of the US and’or NATO, but a member of the tech/monetary world organization that controls information and thus power in the world. The Gulf Sunni States are eager applicants to the club as well. If Egypt weren’t hideously overpopulated and ecologically ruined, it could grow out of its poverty and join the club as well.
Think of Israel, EU, US, the Sunni Kingdoms, Japan and SE Asia, including Hindu India, as the “Harvard Club”. The “Yale Club’ is slightly less affluent and exclusive, but includeds the Chinese and Russians, and potentially the Pakistanis and Indonesians. Both clubs have little interest in anything but material gratification for their elites,with enough wealth left over(in the form of “information” that is artificially valued and converted into wages) to satisfy working classes who keep the clubs functioning.
The problem, as Paul Street notes in this week’s Counterpunch, is that these materialistic organisms are also virulent germs that destroy the literal life systems of earth. Suicide has become the purpose of the Tech/Military Elite which of course claims its real purpose is regeneration of greatness from the past.
“blowing up a reactor in Iran is not necessarily evil”….really ? I guess if someone doesn’t like the way you think they can blow up your house ?
My house is not a weapon factory but if yours is, send address, evacuate.
Evidence ? The word of pompeo or what ? We can go with the Feyth method…prove your house isn’t a weapons factory, or isn’t going to be.
Evidence is whatever Mossad days it is.
They are a real intel service unlike satellite Addicted, briefcase toting, it’s a job PC CIA.
On that theory, say goodbye to the Israeli nuclear plants.
And the cities in Iran, Syria and hopefully Turkey.
Iran will need to do attacks inside Israel, in order to stop this. They should focus on the Dimona nuclear facilities.
Of course, they can’t do that while they are also trying to fend off the start of war that Israel is so deliberately seeking.
That is the balancing act. Stop Israeli attacks without starting a war.
