I don't know why this is even a thing for you people. There are no people out there that has better intelligence on what Iran is doing than the Israelis. They have spies all through the Iranian government and nuclear program.

???

It's quite simple: people here are discounting the reporting on the meeting between Netanyahu and Trump from early 2026 because it was first reported in the New York Times.

Based on the fact we have no denials of said reporting, it's only reasonable to conclude that it was accurate. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Are you suggesting that the Israeli government was lying about what Iran was doing?

I do not care what Netanyahu or the Israeli government says about Iran: since it doesn't seem to self-evident, they have a vested interest in catastrophizing any possible threat that Iran poses.

What I care about is whether any wartime action engaged against a foreign country is done for the sake of our national interest, and our national interest only.

Based on how the past five months have panned out, you'd have to be a fool to conclude that our operation against Iran has panned out in favor of America or her citizens.

But hey, Israel doesn't care; they're content to let us keep fighting without getting involved.

You would have to be someone who does not understand how nuclear weapons destroys cities, and also does not understand the Iranian leadership are religious fanatics to think this does not help the United States.

Seriously, of all the people on the planet that should never get near nuclear weapons (except on the receiving end) is the Iranian Mullahs.
