maxomaiIt 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. ”

substantiate it?
Date: 2012-02-28 11:42 pm (UTC)Recent inspections DID detect 20% enriched uranium traces, which is approximately 18% more than needed for power-plants and what investigators classify as a deeply alarming step towards the 90-percent range required for weaponization.
Nobody with a brain desires alarmist behavior here, but this is NOT the kind of thing to be flexible about.
If they have nukes. They will use them or at least dish them off to someone willing to do the dirty work for them.
I hate war, but there's a history of seeking cataclysmic destructive power here:
