WikiLeaks: Israel destroyed nuclear facilities in Iran

[tabatha]

Anti-secrecy group releases email by US-based global security firm linked to CIA, citing Israeli intelligence source who claims Israelis destroyed all Iranian nuclear infrastructure on ground weeks ago

Israeli commando forces destroyed, with the help of Kurdish rebels, all of Iran's nuclear infrastructure on ground, an email by a US-based global security analysis company released by WikiLeaks on Monday claims.

The anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks began publishing more than five million emails from the private intelligence firm Stratfor Global Intelligence, which has been likened to a shadow CIA. Stratfor officials said the release of its stolen emails was an attempt to silence and intimidate it.

1. So who will destroy Israel's nukes? n/t

2. Good for Israel

3. Good. Now, there's no more reason to keep on threatening and provoking Iran.

Neither Stratfor nor ynet is a source I give a lot of credence to.

4. This is what I don't understand: Stratfor seems to make wild guesses all the time

I can't see why any country would take it more seriously than, say, a small 'independent think tank' - ie a handful of people looking to get paid to pontificate.

5. This appears to be an exaggeration - a series of explosions a couple months ago leveled a

missile base - PKK and Kurdish groups took credit. I saw sat photos that were published. There's no indication, however, that there has been any systematic damage to the Iranian nuclear program.

This is being blown out of context, I suspect by both Stratfor and Anon. Not sure why.

8. So Iran now has all the excuses it needs to attack Israel..weren't they just waiting for the excuse?

Reality and fact have nothing to do with it...the excuse has just been handed to them on a silver platter......publically.

9. The point of this is provocation. The Iranian gov't hasn't bitten that lure, yet.

I suspect that the recent bombings (Ukraine,etc.) were by some amateurs or maybe a low-level Quds splinter group.

The people who actually run things in Tehran are neither so stupid nor irrational to provide a cassus belli.

6. If true then an excellent job by the Israeli's

7. Good. I can't see the downside for America. nt
