Netanyahu appearing before the UN General Assembly in 2012 to warn of the threat posed by Iran. Since then we’ve seen no hard evidence of Iran’s nuclear weapons drive, although we’ve heard plenty more allegations. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n

For more than two decades the Israelis have been warning that Iran was on the brink of developing or acquiring nuclear weapons.<\/h5>\n
In 1993 Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran would have a nuclear weapon \u201cby 1999<\/a><\/span>“. Of course that didn’t happen but that didn\u2019t stop Netanyahu.<\/h5>\n
In 1995 in his book Fighting Terrorism<\/span><\/a> he warned that Iran would have a nuclear weapon within “three to five years”.<\/h5>\n
That was a quarter of a century ago and we are still waiting.<\/h5>\n
Then in 1996,\u00a0Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress<\/span><\/a> where he warned that \u201cthe deadline for attaining this goal (Iran’s acquiring nuclear weapons) is getting extremely close.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Again, we are still waiting.<\/h5>\n
However, Netanyahu is nothing if not persistent. In 2009<\/a><\/span> he informed a visiting Congressional delegation that Iran was \u201cprobably one or two years away\u201d from developing weapons.<\/h5>\n
Again this never happened but Netanyahu is not alone in making these baseless prognostications. Many other Zionist leaders have made exactly the same sorts of predictions, only to be proven entirely wrong<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n
In other words what follows is Zionist disinformation. The only question is why do the Zionists persist with the same old lies? Do they think that the goyim are so stupid that they will carry on swallowing them? Or do they believe that Zionist power and control is now so extensive that it doesn’t matter whether the goyim believe them or not?<\/h5>\n

Iran Likely To Field Nuclear Ballistic Missile In 2 Years: Israeli Intelligence <\/a><\/h1>\n

Arie Egozi \u2013 Breaking Defence Jan 17, 2020<\/h2>\n

TEL AVIV:\u00a0Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) intelligence says Iran is two years from a capability to equip one of its ballistic missiles with\u00a0nuclear warhead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such a development would constitute a red line, an Israeli official says: \u201cThe clock ticks toward this point, and Israel will know exactly when the foot will be put on the red line or very near to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Iran has not yet built a nuclear weapon<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. And reducing a nuclear weapon to the size and weight allowing it to be carried on a ballistic missile is challenging, though Iran has demonstrated impressive engineering chops in some of its nuclear work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once Iran builds such a warhead, Israeli experts told Breaking D that all Iranian ballistic missiles with at least a diameter of 4.1 feet can be fitted to carry one.\u00a0An example is the Shahab-3, a\u00a0medium-range ballistic missile<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0developed by\u00a0Iran\u00a0and based on the\u00a0North Korean\u00a0Nodong-1.\u00a0The Shahab-3 has a range of 620\u00a0miles.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to foreign sources, Israel\u2019s intelligence apparatus is focused on the Iranian nuclear plan and does not need the data released from time to time by the UN officials that are supposed to monitor the country\u2019s capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

All signs indicate that Israel has been preparing a major plan if Iran attacks or gets to this red line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two nights ago, for example, \u201can unknown force\u201d attacked\u00a0an Iranian missile shipment at the largest Syrian air base, known as T-4, sources here say. So, while hostilities may get much hotter should Iran cross the red line, hostilities appear to be already playing out across the region almost day by day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The question now is, will the U.S assist Israel if it decides to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities or will it have to retaliate after a direct Iranian attack probably with missiles?<\/span><\/p>\n

On the record, Israeli experts say they believe that if Washington reaches the conclusion that Iran is an immediate nuclear threat, it will act with Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when talking off the record, some show great concern, especially if the coming elections in the U.S bring a Democrats to power. \u201cThey don\u2019t like the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu puts all his cards on Trump and that may be reflected in the way they will conduct their relations with Jerusalem \u201d one expert said.<\/span><\/p>\n

n the past, the U.S did everything it could to stop Israel from attacking the Iranian nuclear facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will the US allow Israel to use huge American stockpiles of weapon systems stored in Israel is another crucial question.\u00a0The War Reserves Stock Allies-Israel program, capped at $1.2 billion, is composed of all types of weapons systems.\u00a0The location of the stockpiles, along with the types and quantities of ammunition, are classified.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel in recent years has built the capabilities for a major blow to disable Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities. Sources say the preparations include huge investments in highly classified \u201ctools.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And to add to the tension, some reports claim that Israel has asked the U.S for a \u201cnumber\u201d of air-dropped bombs that have the power to penetrate some of Iran\u2019s underground nuclear facilities. It\u2019s unclear if this refers to MOAB or to other US weapons designed to penetrate bunkers and deeply buried facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
