Joseph Kent (director of the National Counterterrorism Center) resigns

[Delldude]

The "reasons" given to attack Iran I've heard...


"regime change"
"destroying all of their military infrastructure, planes, long range missiles (anything that might get to Israel)"
"the people want it"
"they are right about to get a nuke bomb" (we've heard that broken record for 40 years)

Kinda doesn't matter much now does it?

 

[Leo123]

It never stops

nukes nukes nukes


Hey, any evidence of those "nukes?"


Well, Fox News said so....

Oh come on, they were enriching uranium to the point it could be used for a weapon. They weren't running the centrifuges for nuclear power plants. They don't even need nuclear power with all that fossil fuel they are sitting on. They outwardly hate America and say 'death to America' as a mantra.

Not just Fox...CNN and others...From CNN and most every other news outlet.

"Video from the western city of Hamedan's main square shows a large crowd reportedly assembled for a ceremony to commemorate 'five martyrs of the Ramadan War' before explosions ring out in the distance. The religious singer leading the ceremony begins chanting “Allahu Akbar! [God is great]” and “Death to America! Death to Israel!' and is also joined by many in the crowd."

If they truly wanted a nuclear weapon, they wouldn’t have sat around at 60% enrichment trying to negotiate a deal with Trump.

90% in a week or less. You can make a nuke at 60% too.

The most basic principle of MAGA originally was "no more forever wars."


There is a claim Iran has 60% enriched. That isn't good enough. The source of those claims and AIed videos etc. has huge credibility problems. We should have needed more proof even to do what we did last June. And in last June's attack, there was no radiation spike, meaning we hit precisely nothing radioactive.

Not just Fox, but CNN, I'm parroting both!!!!!!!!

Since they’ve had 60% enriched uranium for years and no nuclear weapons, clearly they aren’t rushing to build one for a “preemptive strike”.

They saw this as a deterrent, but clearly it wasn’t enough so now they will definitely proceed with creating a nuclear weapon as soon as possible.

IAEA says you don't know what you're talking about.

An open secret. That HEU at 60 percent enrichment can be used in a nuclear weapon is hardly a state secret.
__________
One does not have to dig deep to document the basis for the statement that all HEU is weapon-usable. The IAEA considers HEU, which is defined as uranium enriched to 20 percent or greater, as a “direct use” material, meaning it “can be used for the manufacture of nuclear explosive devices without transmutation or further enrichment.”

Iran can still build nuclear weapons without further enrichment. Only diplomacy will stop it

Iran's stockpile of uranium enriched at 60 percent would be enough to make several relatively unsophisticated nuclear weapons. So why does nobody talk about it?

For years? Try 2021....5 yrs.

There is huge money pushing this narrative, and to date ZERO evidence to back up any of it...

5 years is a long time to build a bomb when you said it would take a few weeks to accomplish it.

Cnn is just one of many news outlets reporting the same thing. There’s video all over the media of the same thing. Prove me wrong. You seem to have ‘Fox derangement syndrome’ a brain eating variant of TDS.

I actually hold Fox accountable for all of the treasonous lies they pushed to sell out our troops in Iraq, about 911, all of it.

You don't. If they lied us into Iraq, you think that's good because all you care about is ISRAEL not America.

I didn't say that, liar.

Sure.

90% in a week or less

 

[Delldude]

Sure.

90% enrichment in a week or less.....

Nice try liar.

Can I quote you?

'Lets keep it honest '

 

[citygator]

Barack Obama started wars in 5 countries......the media kept silent about them till Benghazi blew up in their faces.

Im not old enough to have been posting on this board during Obama. That was almost 20 years ago.

There is no reason for this war. The head of the counterterrorism center just said so.

Enrichment is the rare limiting step for nuclear weapons.

Always has been.

The Trump administration said they were a week away. Are they liars?

 

[Delldude]

The Trump administration said they were a week away. Are they liars?

Not at all.

You should stop with your misleading bullshit.

On February 21, 2026, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff stated that Iran was "probably a week away from having industrial grade bomb making material".

 

[EMH]

The Trump administration said they were a week away. Are they liars?

One thing is for certain, the American people have been told

"Iran is a week away from getting a nuke bomb"

for 40 years and counting...

From the horse’s mouth.



Hell. Tulsi said it last year even.

Tulsi Gabbard now says Iran could produce nuclear weapon 'within weeks'

This comes after US President Donald Trump said she was "wrong" for saying Iran was not building nuclear weapons.

But you’re saying that’s not true. Is that right?
