The United States on Monday will sanction more than two dozen people and entities involved in Iran's nuclear, missile and conventional arms programs, a senior U.S. official said, putting teeth behind United Nations sanctions on Tehran that Washington argues have resumed despite the opposition of allies and adversaries.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Iran could have enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon by the end of the year and that Tehran has resumed long-range missile cooperation with nuclear-armed North Korea. He did not provide detailed evidence regarding either assertion.

I would not be surprised if Iran was working with North Korea’s nuclear program and has already tested its bomb design there. The question remains if with a nuke, Iran would use dare it against Israel.

Pres Trump has already said Iran would not be allowed to get The Bomb on his watch. So I’m having a little trouble believing this.

However, if they do manage to pull it off somehow, it’s likely to be the biggest mistake of their lives. Demonstrating it before the election, will only clinch Donald Trump’s re-election, then get them dead. Demonstrating it after will only get them dead, since there is nothing they can do to prevent his re-election.

They achieved that ability some time ago. The challenge for them is a warhead delivery system with an implosion device.

They could of course simply mount the U235 device in a large airplane like a 747 and hope they can penetrate Israeli airspace. Perhaps the MH370 missing 747. /tinfoil hat off

I’ve been reading variations on this headline for nearly 20 years. I remember an article in the WSJ , by Bolton, saying it was like six months before Iran got the bomb. This was back in 2010 or so. And that’s just one of many , many articles with similar deadline-specific warnings, year in and year out , for nearly two decades

The folks who want us at war with Iran are nothing if not persistent. The Iraq war wasn’t enough of a disaster for them. They want even more waste and carnage.

Fortunately, Trump doesn’t intend to get us in more wars. That’s why he’s hated by Bolton , Cheney, Kristol, and the rest of the folks who want a war with Iran

“The folks who want us at war with Iran are nothing if not persistent. The Iraq war wasn’t enough of a disaster for them. They want even more waste and carnage.”

Exactly.

Let Israel, and her “New Friends” figure it out. Its there “Back Yard”.

Which makes one wonder if the UAE and Bahrain deal included removing them from Israel's "Samson Option."
