“A senior Israeli official said on Thursday that the missile testing site near Tehran that was destroyed in a huge explosion three months ago was developing missiles with a range of some 6,000 miles aimed at the United States. The official, Moshe Yaalon, a deputy prime minister and minister for strategic affairs, said the explosion, at a Revolutionary Guard missile base, hit a system “getting ready to produce a missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers.” “That’s the Great Satan,” he said, invoking the term Iran often uses to refer to the United States. “It was aimed at America, not at us.” Mr. Yaalon was trying to make the point that the Iranian nuclear program is not a threat only to Israel but, as he put it, “a nightmare for the free world.” He said that it was a concern to Arab states as well as to the United States and Israel. Mr. Yaalon was addressing a public conference held annually outside Tel Aviv that examines Israel’s security challenges. He also argued that all of Iran’s nuclear weapons sites could be hit with Western weapons………..”

“Iran has enough radioactive material to produce four nuclear bombs, Israel’s chief of military intelligence, General Aviv Kochavi, asserted at a security conference on Thursday. “Today international intelligence agencies are in agreement with Israel that Iran has close to 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of uranium enriched to 20 percent, which is enough to produce four bombs,” he told the annual Herzliya conference. “Iran is very actively pursuing its efforts to develop its nuclear capacities, and we have evidence that they are seeking nuclear weapons,” he said, according to AFP………..”

He said: “we have evidence that they are seeking nuclear weapons”. Funny: Israeli leaders and officials have been saying the very same thing since the early 1990s. By their earliest prediction, the Iranians would have had “the bomb” while Hillary and Bill Clinton were still in the White House.

They may be “seeking” nuclear weapons, or maybe not, but this official is lying when he claims they have evidence. Even the IAEA did not claim to have “evidence”: it had “concerns”. Nobody has evidence that the Iranians are “seeking” nuclear weapons. They probably will be able to, or are capable to, put together a weapon, should they decide to do so. If and when they decide to build a bomb, you can be sure the West will know.

The way Israeli officials and the Likud-smitten U.S. Congress and the pliant American media frame it, the Iranian mullahs are well on their way to taking over our whole fucking world. Before you know it, the ‘man on the moon’ will be a grinning ayatollah with a white turban.
