Israel shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had recently devised a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, two sources familiar with matter told CNN, adding another layer of tension as a ceasefire deal between the countries comes under strain.
Chances are this one was real given the fact Iran announced they were going to kill Trump, and they put up literal building sized banners saying they are going to kill him.
Iran’s uranium enrichment program (the only purpose of which is to make weapons-grade uaranium) is well documented by the IAEA.
There were plenty of “Kill Trump” banners at the Ayatollah’s funeral. And it’s obvious they’ve wanted to kill Trump since Trump ordered the assassination of Soleimani.
Yes, Trump is a demented racist. But that doesn’t mean you have to deny reality on everything to do with things you don’t like.
I believe this is referencing Netanyahu who has been warning Iran is only weeks away from developing nuclear weapons for over 30 years now. One has to wonder how credible these claims are at that point.
It was months away he was warning about, and that was Iran’s strategy with uranium enrichment. Develop what was needed so that at any time they could give the order to build a nuke and within six month have a nuke.
It’s like partially building a house and then pausing on the project when you’re a few months away from completing it. You will always be a few months away from completing construction of the house until you make the decision to continue working on it.
Netanyahu sucks, Trump sucks, but the IRGC also sucks, and they had a uranium enrichment program while the uranium the imported from Russia was already enriched to the level needed for their one civilian nuclear power plant.
There’s politics and then there’s science. No civilian nuclear reactor needs enrichment about 5% and Iran has uranium enriched to 60%. Not enough to build a nuclear weapon (but definitely enough to build a dirty bomb) but also way more than needed for civilian uses. They’ve been at 60% for a decade, they could enrich it further and build a nuclear weapons in less a year if they chose to do that. So yes, they’ve been months away from building a nuke for about a decade. It’s just science is difficult to explain, Netanyahu and Trump suck at explaining things (which is their job), and nobody wants to to listen to them because they suck, and people struggle to understand science even in the best of times.
Politics is more important in people’s minds than science. W. Bush lied about Saddam’s nuclear program, so there’s a boy who cried wolf situation. Remember, at the end of the story there actually was a wolf, that wolf ate the boy and ate the sheep and the village was fucked.
The bullshit part was the timeframe which they said they were going to be able to enrich the amount of uranium needed to make a viable nuclear weapon. Plus, they are a sovereign nation who are allowed to make nuclear weapons, especially considering the US unilaterally ended the treaty that prohibited nuclear programs.
Also, random people holding kill trump banners isn’t the same as the Iranian government making a feasible plan to assassinate the president.
Sure starting from nothing to enriching uranium to the level needed to build a nuclear weapon would take a long time. But a country that has a uranium enrichment program that has already enriched uranium to 60%?

The IRGC controls information in Iran. Large banners that say “We will kill Trump” wouldn’t be put up if the IRGC didn’t approve. Also they’ve wanted kill Trump since he assassinated Soleimani. Killing the Ayatollah probably didn’t change that.
I’m not saying Trump or Netanyahu are good, or that Iran doesn’t have a reason to want to kill them. But let’s not pretend the IRGC are innocent little lambs that would never ever do anything wrong. Trump, Netanyahu, the Ayatollah, the IRGC are all a bunch of shitbags.
Israel shared intelligence with US of Iranian plot to create a nuclear weapon in two weeks as well.
It was also bullshit, but the demented rapist fell for that one too. He’s really fucking stupid.

They already had a uranium enriched to 60% according to the IAEA. https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-on-developments-in-iran
