Trump lying to justify his reasons to bomb Iran.

[Say it aint so]

US spies said Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon. Trump dismisses that assessment​

Tulsi Gabbard Says Iran Not Believed to be Building a Nuclear Weapon​

Trump: "“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was “very close” to having a nuclear bomb."

This is the danger of Trump. He will just out and out lie to justify his off the cuff decisions. Remember the last time a President lied to justify military action? Yes, the Iraq war. Now even though intel within his own administration is stating Iran has no nukes, nor are they moving forward with nukes; he just ignores them and threatens to bomb Iran for having something nobody is saying they have. But unlike with Bush, with Trump his own intel are not out lying to justify military action (yet). He's dangerous and lies without regard to ramifications. Recall his intel agencies, all of them, said MS13 is not part of the Venezuelan government. He just ignores them and lies otherwise. He is just narcissistic dangerous.

The same source that you quoted here posted an article back in February the stated the following:

“Iran has accelerated its production of near weapons-grade uranium as tensions between Tehran and Washington rise after the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, a report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog seen by The Associated Press on Wednesday showed.

The report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said that as of Feb. 8, Iran has 274.8 kilograms (605.8 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60%. That’s an increase of 92.5 kilograms (203.9 pounds) since the IAEA’s last report in November.

That material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.

A report in November 2024 put the stockpile at 182.3 kilograms (401.9 pounds). It had 164.7 kilograms (363.1 pounds) last August.

“The significantly increased production and accumulation of high enriched uranium by Iran, the only non-nuclear weapon State to produce such nuclear material, is of serious concern,” the confidential report stated. According to the IAEA, approximately 42 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium is theoretically enough to produce one atomic bomb, if enriched further to 90%.

The IAEA also estimated in its quarterly report that as of Feb. 8, Iran’s overall stockpile of enriched uranium stands at 8,294.4 kilograms (18,286 pounds), which represents an increase of 1,690.0 kilograms (3725.8 pounds) since the last report in November.”

There is no doubt that they are building a bomb. I’m not a fan of Trump but it seems you jumped the gun here. Fake news again.

I would say that Iran was very close to being capable of building a nuclear bomb, whether they actually intended to build one or not. Just having that capability is enough to trigger Israel. Would it have been enough to get Trump to bomb Iran? I doubt it. Trump let Israel take the initiative.

Now, I would imagine that you are not that naive. You only need about 3.5% or so to use it for energy so why are they at 60%? Should we wait for them to get to 90%? The threat applies to Israel, the US, and any other nation that they hate.

Vice President JD Vance Breaks His Silence on Iran After President Trump Blasts Tulsi Gabbard Regarding Her Assessment of the Nation's Nuclear Capabilities | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

Vice President JD Vance is speaking out on Iran’s nuclear capabilities after President Trump slammed down his intel chief Tuesday morning for saying Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

I agree with the President and the Vice President and the IAEA.

We didn't have to wait for them to get to 90%. Israel has better intel on the situation and was raring to go. I don't know whether Iran intended to build a bomb or not, but I expect that they did want to get at least to that 90% point so that they could build a bomb quickly if they wanted. Considering Israel made their position on that very clear, it was foolish of Iran to go as far as they did.

Generally I don t trust either of them, for good reason.

That said, I be shocked! if Iran wasnt trying to build a bomb. Frankly I think Tulsi is compromised.

No, not the same source.
I articles I referenced sourced US assessments. I sourced the US intel director. How to read news. The AP is not the source. The people, groups, and/or orgs the news articles themselves source; are the actual sources. Fake news again.

 

[bèlla]

Trump isn’t moving unilaterally on this issue and it was being discussed when the conflict began with Hamas by geopolitical commentators. Several maintained from the start that Israel wanted a conflict with Iran and it’s been building up since that time.

The government puts things in motion many years in advance. Strategies aren’t devised haphazardly and the subject was addressed by think tanks and other entities. I shared a paper from The Brookings Institute yesterday that mentioned Israel’s role and the larger plan. Here’s a screenshot of the chapters. Notice the fifth. This is the reality of our nation.

We can definitely agree on this. I just think that, based on Iran talk of destroying Israel and opening a third enrichment plant, their end result when they reached 90% enrichment is for immediately develop an atomic bomb. That’s scary.

 

[Nithavela]

Even if Iran wasn't trying to get a nuke, they will certainly try to get one now.

I don't think that Iran can be defeated just by throwing bombs at them, though. So a land invasion is neccessary now.

What's Netanyahu's justification?

No it's not fake news. News outlets use sources as the basis of their stories. The outlet itself is not the source. Learn how to read news.
The article you cite says this from the IAE director,

​

"Iranian officials have increasingly suggested Tehran could pursue an atomic bomb. U.S. intelligence agencies assess that Iran has yet to begin a weapons program, but has “undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device, if it chooses to do so.” ​

The US Intel Director in Senate testimony just last month, US intel agencies, have said they have seen no signs of them moving forward towards a nuke. If weapons grade enrichment and quantity is the issue, if only we had some kind of agreement that kept Iran at low levels. You know, something that same IAE can monitor on site, Oh wait, we did. Trump tore that up and what happened with no safeguards? Iran ramped up both percentages and quantity. Now Trump is talking about dropping bombs simply because he's stunningly ignorant.

 

[Say it aint so]

What's Netanyahu's justification?

From what I garner it's Iran's retaliation of Israel strikes on Hamas and Hezbollah back in Oct last year. I least that's what he says.

 

[rjs330]

People aren't even reading rhe article. Gabbard said they are not building a bomb right now.

"The United States intelligence community has assessed that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon, according to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard."

That specificity is important. No one, o cluding Israel is saying they are currently building a bomb.

"According to Gabbard, U.S. intelligence agencies believe that while Iran has expanded its uranium stockpile, it has not taken steps toward assembling a nuclear weapon. She also noted, that Iran's enriched uranium reserves are at an extreme level for a nation without nuclear weapons, raising concerns among international observers.

"Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons," Gabbard said on Tuesday."

This was not about Iran building a bomb right now. Its about rhe Iranian program which is enriching uranium at the pace where its close to be capable of building one.

He said very close. Well I would say with what is know that they are both correct. No they aren't building one right now. But they are enriching it to the point where rhey are close to the point t where they could start.

So no one has lied.

Iran is a dirty lying rotten terrorist country. They will lie to your face while stabbing you in the back. Or like Hammas Rape you while stabbing you.

Iran wants one and they have proven they wont abide by any agreement. They were and are and would continue to work for a bomb.

And you are wildly naive to think ANY agreement would be given by them that would prevent them from doing so.

Its an evil, vile murderous regime.

Agreed. I would say they do not yet have a bomb, only because if they had one they would have used it already to blow up Israel.

My brother, (years ago) noted that the “half-caf” coffee was the same price as leaded regular coffee, but decaf was nearly twice as expensive, “it must cost a lot go get the other half of the caffeine out!”

If the DPRK can haz nukes, I fail to see why Iran having them, is a bridge too far.

Are you serious? The DPRK having nukes is terrible but China does have a measure of control over them. Iran, on the other hand, is a terrorist nation that is hell bent on destroying Israel and the US. They are too stupid and radicalized to have any kind of restraint on that kind of power. They WILL use the nuclear bomb the first chance they get.
