Why would Iran make such an admission? I don’t think it’s a simple statement.
It could really mean, OK, I give up, I’ll be good. And in the meantime they are secretly rebuilding so when Trump leaves office they can nuke the hell out of everyone.
“And in the meantime they are secretly rebuilding so when Trump leaves office they can nuke the hell out of everyone.”
They probably have already started planning the rebuild. These nutcases aren’t going away.
Yes. is is a very unusual admission. The ulterior motive may be to stop further international interest in their program as they rebuild.
Their withdrawal from IAEA inspections is equally suspicious. Those inspections could provide realistic BDA.
