The editorial director of Antiwar.com is challenging Israel’s claims that Iran was mere days away from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Scott Horton, who also is director of the Libertarian Institute, said those assertions haven’t been confirmed by other nations, including the United States.
“What they had all along is a latent nuclear deterrent — it’s the same as Germany, Japan or Brazil, where they had shown they perfected the fuel cycle, they know how to make nuclear weapons fuel, but they’re not making it,” Horton told “On Balance” host Leland Vittert on Friday, a day after Israel launched military strikes against Iran.
“With this attack, they’re actually more likely to pursue nuclear weapons now, whereas before they actually were not pursuing them.”
Horton faulted President Trump for voiding a U.S.-Iran agreement in 2018 that would have restricted Tehran’s nuclear capabilities. It was brokered by the Obama administration.
“Trump could have just got back into the deal and called it the Trump Deal instead of the Obama Deal, and all of this would have been fine,” Horton said.

Your "modest proposal" might be found acceptable. "That's not who we are" is a shaky ground for believing something is impossible.
I certainly hope the asserted prerequisite for changing the policies of Iran is false.
If you read it on Yahoo, it’s obviously obvious.😉
That one...Raimondo is bosom buddies with Scott Ritter, who was a recipient of donations from al Khafaji, who in turn received his funding from Saddam Hussein in the form of oil vouchers.
GFY!!!
You can't afford not to be.
We do not know what would happen if Iran had religious freedom, so I suspect their support is a mile wide and an inch deep.
But I don't care. We can keep taking out the Iranian leadership until they run out of fanatics, for all I care, but the one thing that we absolutely and certainly must do is NEVER allow these religious fanatics to get nuclear weapons.
I don't see any room for debate on this point. This is existential.

No one has been stabbed by President Trump. He warned Iran’s Ayatollah regime and gave them plenty of time to reverse course
Is this the last post of the hamass propagandist “hardspunned”?
Checking, because I want to see the Viking Kitties doing their business!
You’re quick! I was snooping for the most recent posts and you already had them up. 👍👍 Well done!
Of course, there was MUCH more.. but I wouldn’t want to saturate the post with all of the hate of Israel and President Trump he has posted.
Next time, I should include a link to poster’s history, in case others want to check it out (and don’t know how to).

Gee, that was extraordinarily-stupid
WOW 🤯😳
Oh yeah, I looked. He was quite unhinged.
Looks like the zot came before the bunker-busters. We dodged a whole foaming-at-the-mouth performance there. 😏
Give it a rest, Randy.
And well deserved at that.
Shazzzzaaaaammmmmmm!!!!!!
Ne’er a more worthy zottage!
Still a few more left.. :^/
