Can Israel's assessment of Iran be trusted?

[berg80]

More than yours.

Well, I didn't make any so........ We know trump's certainly can't be trusted.

Try this one on for size: Iran acknowledges that it has enriched uranium to 50-60%. There is NO PEACEFUL purpose for doing so. Commercial nuclear fuel is about 5% purity when installed in a reactor. The ONLY reason to enrich uranium above 5% is for use in dirty bombs, nuclear bombs, or for other nefarious purposes. Iran has PUBLICLY STATED that its goal is to eradicate Israel, then the U.S.

Is that not sufficient justification to attempt destroy Iran's nuclear program?

If your next door neighbor tells everyone who will listen that he intends to blow up your house, then he starts buying chemicals that are used to make explosives...

Draw your own conclusion.

Uranium wouldn't be very useful for a dirty bomb.

Calm yourself----the issue of Iran's proxies will not be solved by BLOWING UP Iran. ----most
importantly the voices that INSIST that Iran (to wit---IT'S SICK GOVERNMENT) is enemy to the
USA must be discarded (with a careful note of those who so insist)

Were you even alive in 1979? ...

My point was Iran's nuclear program is minor compared to rockets landing in Israel on a regular basis ... if Drug Cartels were launching rockets at Dallas from Mexico ... with Mexico's permission ... you'd think Mexico was our enemy ...

... or are you another yellow-bellied coward like the 535 folks that make up Congress ...

I was alive and involved in saving lives in 1979. what were you doing? Many of
my colleagues were educated Iranians that had FLED Iran because of rising islamic
radicalism. . I had no idea that Mexico was bombing Dallas----got a link? I see no
connection to that ??? factoid and Iran's current contoling theocracy and its actions.
I don't see Mexico as an enemy----that the country is crime ridden seems to me to be
established fact. YOUR POINT?

However, Bibi would like nothing more than to keep Israel on a war footing in order to remain in power.

I was friends with the Persians who were fleeing racial persecution in Iran at the time, both before and after the revolution ...

My point is you're a coward ...

He made his premature "obliteration" remark just three hours after the bombs had hit.

It seems he's a fan of getting out ahead of the details to give the public a false, first impression. Probably reflecting on the success of Billy the Bagman's deceitful "exonerated" remark following the release of Mueller's report. Wow, what a lie that was.

Well he has to fake news the news with his bluster to appease his cult I guess. I knew he was lying as soon as he said it as I had seen analysis earlier this year that said the bombs couldn't reach the good stuff. Wish I recalled where I read that as it seems to have been right on the money. Said damaging ventilation shafts, entrances, and electric service taking several months to restore was best we could do to it with those at the Fordow site. Seems to have been right on the money.

Of course we wouldn't be having this conversation, and we wouldn't be making somewhat uninformed assumptions about what is going on in Iran, had Dotard not torn up the JCPOA.

Correct.

Iran was being prevented from acquiring a nuclear weapon prior to Trump's reckless act of idiocy.

it was. ----when I was a kid---we SUBSCRIBED to the NYT IN SCHOOL!!!! the writing was
said to be at the level 8th graders should be----(good public school) The writing was good---
grammar, logic, spelling etc. I was in the 8th grade a LONG TIME AGO---about 35 years
ago I noticed REMARKABLE deterioration---- even spelling fell apart----and the writing began
to be idiotic. I thought ---ALL THE EDITORS MUST HAVE DIED----I no longer read that rag

 

[Nostra]

Personally, I think Iran should be prevented from acquiring a nuclear weapon. I don't believe that matter is in dispute outside of Iran. What is in dispute is the degree to which their weapons program has been damaged. Despite Pete's passionate assurances to the contrary in defense of Dear Leader.

Of course we wouldn't be having this conversation, and we wouldn't be making somewhat uninformed assumptions about what is going on in Iran, had Dotard not torn up the JCPOA.

Iran still had an agreement with Europe. Looks like their cheating continued even after Trump called out their bullshit.

Also, Iran never signed any nuke deal with the US.

USA is the only country in the world to nuke 2 Christian cities, and USA thinks it is the lord of atomic "rigtheousness".
As for irritated Iranians, they have good cause to be irritated at Yankistan.

What is Yankistan's excuse for building many tons of atom bombs?

 

[NotYankee]

True. His political fortunes depend on dishonesty.

Yes, a Talmudic boot.

Can your assessment of Iran be trusted?

I'll gladly take the Mossad's assessment over yours or the NYT's any day of the week.

You can trust the Talmudists all You want. After all, they are the world's Masters of Deceit.

 

[NotYankee]

The Talmudic escapees of the Russian Pale of Settlement went to Palestine with the intent to conquer/steal it, under the disguise of being Biblical Israel and most Yanks buy into it 100%.
However, they have a big liability therein: Since they have adopted the name "Israel" they are under the Biblical duty to bring forth good fruit. Since they have not done so, they are under a curse to be destroyed with much noise, dust and fire.

We spend billions of dollars on intelligence agencies, the only assessment we should trust is our own.

And now the Intel officer who wrote a report exposing trump's lie has been fired.
