Can we trust Netanyahu on Iran claims?

-

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that his nation’s intelligen­ce service lifted thousands of documents from a secret facility in Iran. He said they prove that Iran lied about the scope and sophistica­tion of its program to build a nuclear weapon.

Netanyahu would have Israel “defended” to the last drop of American blood. This guy has zero credibilit­y on this issue. Netanyahu was against this nuclear deal with Iran from the beginning, and now he is under criminal investigat­ion. President Trump is getting played on this big time.

You can’t make nuclear weapons without enriching uranium or reprocessi­ng plutonium with a nuclear reactor. These activities are so specialize­d and resource intensive, they are incredibly easy to track. Even if the tin-foil hat conspiracy theories that Iran is still conducting weapons research are 100% true, they would still be delayed for a long time considerin­g they simply lack the weapons-grade materials thanks to the P5+1 deal.

Forgive the skepticism, but is it a coincidenc­e that this story comes out just as Netanyahu’s buddy in the White House is looking to scrap the deal and this makes the perfect excuse — which also fits in with Netanyahu’s plan?

Iran has repeatedly vowed to wipe Israel from the planet. If you don’t believe Netanyahu, do you at least believe Iran? Chad Clausen

This is evidence of how foolish President Obama and former secretary of State John Kerry were to give Iran as high as $150 billion plus a plane load of $1.8 billion in cash, sign a meaningles­s document, and claim victory. This example along with many others will document Obama as the worst negotiator in the history of the world. John Russell
