Iran threatens to move nuclear material to secret sites to thwart Israeli strike
Axios ^ | 5/22/2025 | Barak Ravid

Iran threatened on Thursday to move its nuclear material to undeclared sites to protect it from a potential Israeli military strike.

-snip-

"Under conditions wherein threats made by the Zionist fanatics persist, the Islamic Republic of Iran shall be left with no recourse but to implement special measures for the protection of its nuclear facilities and materials, the relevant particulars of which shall thereafter be communicated to the IAEA," Araghchi wrote.

The Israeli intelligence community has shifted just in the past few days from believing a nuclear deal was close to thinking talks could soon break down, Israeli sources say.

Hence the urgency behind Israel's preparations to strike fast if President Trump gives a green light.

A U.S. official told Axios the Trump administration is concerned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might make his move even without approval from Trump.

Trump spoke to Netanyahu on Thursday and they "agreed on the need to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons," per the Israeli readout.

Pretty rich, Iranians calling anyone else, “fanatics.”

Based on Tucker Carlson’s hysteria over the past few days, I bet Iran is going to get their a***s bombed soon.

Iran is weird beyond belief. I've known many Iranians,
and they were all normal and completely westernized.

I don’t think President Trump is taking Tucker’s phone calls anymore.

You mean they currently have it sitting out in the open where anyone could get at it?

Kind of careless.

And these are the people that certain posters think are going to beat the West in a war.

Uh-huh.

Yes. Same here, and many of my good friends are Iranian. That said, they also told me that Iranians are very competitive and 'have to be the best'. I don't know how that plays out in an Islamic theocratic society, but there have to be enough people there backing the Mullahs or we wouldn't be dealing with Iran as an exporter of terrorism.

"I've known many Iranians, and they were all normal and completely westernized."

The folks I've met prefer to be called Persians. They hate the Mullahs and those that support them. One even thanked me for allowing him to experience the freedom and fun of the US.

There are more geospatial eyes on Iran, and embedded human assets in Iran,
that the idea that they can hide anything is delusional.

#10: "The folks I've met prefer to be called Persians."

That's been my experience too. I must make it a point to refer to Persians and not "Iranians".

Persians still celebrate ancient holidays such as Nowruz (fist day of Spring), celebrations which predates Islam by a 1000 years. Needless to say, the mullahs are not happy with Persian culture.

either eliminate the Iranian threat or suffer their nuclear missile attacks — and this goes FIRST for USA (Iran’s number ONE target, or rather numeros 1 through 7 targets according to their oft-repeated threats to destroy American cities)

one thing the west suffers from is an almost-paralytic inability to take necessary actions in a timely manner

Tucker is gradually getting weirder.

Shame, I really liked him.

What are the odds that Israel launches a major air strike on Iran?
