Remember when Obama got Iran to give up refining nuclear material then Trump fucked it up horribly?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
Look, it's the bi-annual "Iran is 6 months away from getting nukes" headline. I wonder which intelligence service came up with this (again).
Some analyst has a repeating calendar event labeled IRAN NUKE STORY
Thanks trump.
This brings me back to the Bush years.
Also makes me thing of the movie ‘Wag the Dog.’
man even americans are starting to regurgitate this isreali party line; gazans are so fucked.
Is it an Israeli line? I don't doubt that Israel says it, but it seems to me like Iran developing nukes is a pretty rational response to America ditching the agreement. I certainly don't like a government like Iran's having those weapons, but it's very understandable for it to want them and the country has the capacity to make it happen
Yes it's an Israeli line. (This was from like 20 years ago.)
Got to love the iconography of a bomb from the 19th century.
Doesn't that turn of phrase imply that it's untrue (or at least misrepresentative) though? It's not meaningfully "an Israeli line" if it's actually just true
Broken clocks can still be right.

Inspectors from the UN found enrichment activity was starting to exceed 84% where 90% is the target for bomb making. 60% is the level they are attempting to enforce.
Also this is February 2023, so you’d suspect they’ve made more progress since then.
Trying to get us into another war eh
good, Iran needs nukes. especially when a significant portion of the US government holds the opinion "we should nuke Iran".
I mean if you were the Iranian leader and a) saw what the US did to Iraq and Libya and b) saw the total impunity that Israel has in the West to conduct mass killings on civilians, wouldn't you want a nuclear deterrent?
All this talk about iran sounds like another beating the drums for an iraq war.
Oh great. Starting a war is a classic move for embattled presidents
Cool, how industrious of them!
Same as it ever was (ever meaning the past 2 years atleast).

It would still take months to build a detonator though.
Even drunk Pakistani ISI knows this isn't true.
USA being the little bitch of the Zionist Illegal State. Seeking conflicts that are not theirs
We need 4 more years of Joe!
