Mossad chief '100 percent certain' Iran seeks nuclear bomb
Associated Press ^ | Apr 4, 2018 6:11 PM EDT | Josef Federman

The head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency is “100 percent certain” that Iran remains committed to developing a nuclear bomb and believes the international community must change or scrap its nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic.

The comments by Yossi Cohen added an influential voice to a global debate over Iran’s nuclear program ahead of a deadline set by President Donald Trump for toughening the deal. Trump, like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been a fierce critic of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Trump has set a mid-May deadline to reach agreement with the European nations to toughen restrictions on Iran, including by extending the limitations on nuclear activity that are currently set to expire under the deal in several years. If the U.S. and the Europeans can’t agree on new punishments that are to Trump’s liking, he will withdraw from the deal and re-impose U.S. sanctions on Tehran, the White House has said.

With the clock ticking, Cohen has been holding discussions on the matter and delivered his assessment in a recent closed meeting with senior officials, according to a person who attended the meeting. Cohen’s analysis signaled Israeli support for Trump’s efforts.

Cohen called the nuclear deal a “terrible mistake,” saying it allows Iran to keep key elements of its nuclear program intact and will remove other restraints in a few years. …

I have to agree with your assessment. Madmen with nukes equals assured global destruction.

Obama’s “deal” was just as effective as the post-WW1 Germany “disarmament” agreement was with Hitler in the mid-1930’s (i.e. German military paratroop divisions disguised as “parachute jumping clubs”), the unopposed reoccupation of the Rhineland, the annexation of Danzig and part of Czechoslovakia, and the secret Ribbentropp-Molotov Treaty (of mutual aggression re the invasion of Poland).

No wonder Iran is running rings around American diplomats, the Obama Red House, the news media/pundits, and most of academia. THEY KNOW NOTHING OF HISTORY, AND THAT’S WHAT THE LEFT PLANNED FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM ALL ALONG.

Jesse Watter’s “People in the Street” interviews prove this beyond any doubt.

Colleges should issue a new degree for their Yahoo graduates, the DD - “Dumb and Dumber”, followed by an MBS - “Masters of Bull Shit”, and the new PhD - “Pretty Hopelessly Dumb”. They would compliment the old “BA” - “Brain Addled” and the “ BS” - “Bull Shit” degrees.

At least they would honestly titled degrees.

Don't think anyone doubts that. Given the fact that it's likely this will end in war, the international communities priority is to make as much as they can as long as they can. Depending on the outcome of said war, they can either condemn Israel for the damage done to Iran, or pretend they had no idea Iran had violent intentions.

No, just let them develop the bomb and watch the Saudis and gulf states get theirs, and wait until one of them launches at either Tel Aviv or Tehran. G-d forbid any ally of the US benefit from making Iran stand down. Only way to stop them is a war, just like with Mexico, Korea and the PRC. No middle ground. But, of course, the Jooos! won’t have it any other way, right?

Facts is facts. No good way of dealing with this, just a choice between bad options. Which is the least bad. Unless Trump pulls another diplomatic miracle out of his hat. He does that.

I’ve been studying the kings and their corresponding prophets. Believe it or not but Assyria (Jordan) and Egypt believers survive.

I think the nations surrounding Israel in the end kill each other, but since the blood is so deep and it takes 7 months to bury the dead, I don’t think they were nuked.

No, We are not the target. Even israel is secondary.

The primary objective of Iran is Mecca and the enormous wealth of the Gulf States.

America stands in the way of Iranian efforts to occupy the Arabian peninsula and eliminate Jews

Jordan is not Asshur. It’s Ammon and Moab, just like in the past.

That is fine to disagree. I am just curious. Who decides who gets nukes and who do we bomb?

I am neither a chief nor mossad and I knew that, should I ask for a fee?
