I don't know for sure this was Israel but as Iran has pledged to "wipe Israel off the map" we and they should not be surprised if Israel acts.

Nor, then, should we be surprised if/when Iran retaliate in some way.

I can't help thinking that Trump is behind this as a final malicious act of his presidency.

[david small]

er...yes. You going to stop them. Look up fait accompli.

[dannyk13]

I think that they probably have one already.

It's only a few days since Iran's top nuclear scientist was ambushed and killed. I wonder if Mossad had a hand in that.

[ToraToraTora]

JD that's what this post is about.
Danny, no they'd have used it by now.

It’s bizarre really.
Trump was a big friend of Israel, supposedly, and yet (probably) Israel has seen fit to do this.
Which doesn’t say much for Trump’s “friendship”.
One way or another Iran will not be allowed to build a nuclear weapon regardless.
Trump’s way was no more successful than Obama’s

[ToraToraTora]

apparently this will "..not interrupt our nuclear program" - so are they finally coming clean about trying to build the bomb?

[ichkeria]

Nuclear program does not necessarily mean weapons

[Spungle]

We will not be surprised as/when Iran retaliates. But the nearer Iran get to having full nuclear capability, the nearer we get to Armageddon.

[Old_Geezer]

Destroying installations building nuclear weapons is different to taking out an innocent scientist who is simply following their legal career. I think this is a step too far.

[ToraToraTora]

that's next OG.

[Ken4155]

TTT, i think they'd wait until they had more than 'one' before using it. Personally i think they are bluffing the west into believing they have the capability so that Biden will re-instate the agreement Trump tore up.

Trump having his last shot, just for fun mainly. Next two months very dangerous with this mad man in power still.

//Iran has pledged to "wipe Israel off the map"//

it didn't.

[ToraToraTora]

ken, no, if the west get a sniff they have the bomb they'll carpet bomb the tish out of their facilities. The world cannot afford to have the mad mullahs loose with nukes.

T/C @13.18, Agree with you . The world cannot afford to have Mad Presidents loose with Nukes

[teacake44]

We have a mad man in the US with nukes, whats the difference.

[teacake44]

Yep, Trump is making all the right sounds regarding letting Biden take over, that's to cover up what he is really doing behind closed doors to create boat loads of trouble for Biden to come in on, that's his sad way of getting back for losing the election.

[gulliver1]

Trump will not go quietly T/C he is hatching something for the World to remember him with . The man is mad.
