Israel had boots on the ground in Iran for 15 years. The US was hyper monitoring and planning since 2009. Makes Gabbard’s IC testimony likely just another head fake.

...An intelligence source told The Times on Friday that Israel had been monitoring multiple locations through intelligence agents for years, with each location having “boots on the ground beforehand”. Israel began readying its attack on Iran from as early as 2010, based on intelligence about its accelerating weapons programme...

“The regime, fully aware of its security vulnerabilities, had preemptively moved its enriched uranium stockpiles to undisclosed underground locations beyond the reach of satellites, IAEA inspectors, or international oversight.“

…using their super secret cloak of invisibility.

The US bombing of Fordow activated one of the oldest and most dangerous tropes in the nuclear warfighting library - it placed Iran in a “use it or lose it” state.

We should find out soon what resources remain, if any.

Mossad intelligence that resulted in decapitating Iran's top leaders reveals amazing intelligence gathering ability. Although possible, I would say that Israel/Mossad knows or will know precisely where any nuclear development is occurring or where any nuclear material may be located.

On a related note. For those familiar with Ezekiel 38, the prophecy related to Gog and the land of Magog; it gives us an interesting fact to consider. Namely, a prerequisite for the prophecy to come about is that Israel will be attacked when (paraphrase): “Israel exists as a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates.”

This has not been the state of Israel with Hamas and Iran proxies attaching and killing Israelis on a regular basis. What if the '12 day war' culminates in Israel finally “dwelling safely”? If it does, it could be the fuse, the prerequisite that initiates Ezekiel 38, whose summary follows:

Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan:  You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—  to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.  ….. “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?  Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.  You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” …. “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face.  For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ….. I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man's sword will be against his brother.  And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.  Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’- Ezekiel 38: 10-23

VOA is straight up CIA. And Mossad is really good. Makes one wonder how deeply they have penetrated the US government.

By the way, where’s those Epstein files and tapes?

Yeah, I thought so.

“… represents a global danger: a volatile theocracy armed with the ultimate weapon, unbound by international norms or rational deterrence theory”

This fits Saudi Arabia and Israel also.

The technical knowledge, financial means, and ideological justification are all in place.

I thought Israel killed a lot of those people. IMO, Trump should have hammered Iran into the dirt. Why he didn't is a mystery to me, but it's not like we can't do it again.

In the meantime, Iran is going to be really hard on any potential internal opposition, which could have been abetted during Israel's operations. Why neither we nor Israel gave the people weapons is also a mystery to me.

Within these hidden fortresses, Iran is now operating with renewed secrecy and efficiency, drawing closer than ever to the nuclear threshold. The technical knowledge, financial means, and ideological justification are all in place.

And “Ahmed” knows this, how?

Even if they had managed to remove the enriched uranium to safe places, it’s a long way to producing a nuclear weapon. The other problem would be how they could deliver a bomb with their airforce and missile program in ruins. There will be no Iranian bomb.

Possible? Sure.

Probable? Doubtful.

Ever vigilant and checking for it? Absolutely.
