In reply to the discussion: Israel says Iran was racing toward a nuclear weapon. US intel says it was years away [View all]indusurb
(171 posts)These are those folks that want an excuse to bomb Iran, yet through Gabbard they were admitting they don't have one.
Meanwhile real intelligence is saying, per first paragraph of article, that Iran is three years away. It takes awhile, months, years, using gas centrifuge, even advanced ones that Iran has.
And yes, Iran is going to need a missle or plane delivery system. The notion that they would drive it there is laughable. The sheer weight of the combined bomb and shielding to contain the radiation would be prohibitive, not to mention they would have to cross multiple land borders, many equipped with radiation detection systems to prevent just such a scenario.
And again, Israel has been blowing that imminent threat horn for twenty years now, that Iran was just weeks or months away from a bomb. Why should we believe them now, especially when the intelligence says otherwise?
