It would appear that Stratfor figured out years ago that Israel have already destroyed Iran's nuclear weapons program in a series of commando raids. Such was one of the interesting tidbits of the emails released by Wikileaks today.
Not only that, but the emails tell us the real reason for the push for war with Iran:
Well isn't that special!
Stratfor is, by the way, neither confirming nor denying the contents of the emails, which is pretty much as expected. But if in the future someone wants to make the case for war against Iran using nuclear weapons as an excuse, they have to account for this email. And given the consequences of war, they need to answer it convincingly and totally. Accept nothing less.
And for the record, "someone" includes the Obama administration and their media proxies.
Not only that, but the emails tell us the real reason for the push for war with Iran:
“I think this is a diversion. The Israelis already destroyed all the Iranian nuclear infrastructure on the ground weeks ago,” one intelligence official wrote in an email dated November 14, 2011. “The current ‘let’s bomb Iran’ campaign was ordered by the EU leaders to divert the public attention from their at home financial problems. It plays also well for the US since Pakistan, Russia and N. Korea are mentioned in the report. ”
