   The war game – after false flag attacks comes the dodgy intelligence leading to another war in the Middle East / West Asia. Historically, how often has this propaganda game been played out? Provoking an adversary after a period of demonization. polling the public opinion to see whether the taste for war can be succesful.

   Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu accuses Iran of hiding nuclear weapons activity | DW |

   Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented on Monday what he claimed was proof that Iran had broken the terms of the nuclear deal signed in 2015 with major world powers.

   Netanyahu said he was prepared to share the “incriminating” files on Iran’s nuclear weapons program, “Project Amad.” He said Israel recently uncovered 55,000 documents and 183 CDs from Iran’s “nuclear archives.”

   US President Donald Trump said he watched the presentation. Describing it as “good” Trump said the televised statement and other recent events showed that he, Trump, had been “100 percent right” about Iran.

   IAEA Report: Final Assessment on Past and Present Outstanding Issues regarding Iran’s Nuclear Programme

   Information available to the  Agency prior to November 2011 indicated that Iran had arranged, via a number of  different and evolving management structures, for  activities to be undertaken in support of a possible military dimension to its nuclear programme. According to this information, the organisational structures covered most of the areas of activity relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive  device.

   The information indicated that activities commenced in the late 1980s within Departments of the Physics Research Centre (PHRC) and later, under the leadership  of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, became focused in the  early 2000s within projects in the AMAD Plan, allegedly managed  through  the ‘Orchid  Office’. Information  indicated that activities under the AMAD Plan were brought to a halt in late 2003 and that the work was fully recorded, equipment and work places were either cleaned or disposed of so that there would be little  to identify the sensitive nature of the work that had been undertaken.

   Eventually, according to the information, a new organization known as the Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research was established by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and based at the Mojdeh Site near Malek Ashtar University in Tehran.

   Israeli PM Netanyahu playing baseless childish game: Araqchi

   Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is playing a baseless childish, naive game.

   “What we saw from Netanyahu was nothing but a childish and ridiculous show,” Araqchi told Press TV on Monday, adding that it was also a repeat of Netanyahu’s speeches in the past.    

   Earlier in the day Netanyahu delivered a televised address in which he accused Iran of violating the JCPOA. “That is just not an acceptable situation. They’re not sitting back idly. They’re setting off missiles, which they say are for television purposes. I don’t think so,” he said.

   Netanyahu also alleged that Iran had intensified its efforts to hide its “secret files” and that it took them to a highly secret location in Tehran.

   Araqchi added that such allegations against Tehran have already been proven wrong by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

   Great … unsurprisingly Bibi Netanyahu got two quick supporters for telling the “truth” about Iran and its nuclear goals: CIA’s Pompeo and POTUS. Surely Bibi will soon be invited by the Republican Congress to celebrate tearing up the JCPOA, Obama’s main achievement in foreign policy – 8 years of abject failures in the Middle East. Hundreds of thousands murdred and millions displace to the region and crossing into Europe on a life saving mission.

   יש לעצור את איראן. יש למנוע את שאיפתה להשיג נשק גרעיני. יש לבלום את תוקפנותה. אנו מחוייבים לבלום אותה ביחד.

   Iran must be stopped. Its quest for nuclear bombs must be stopped. Its aggression must be stopped, and we’re committed to stopping it together. pic.twitter.com/cLijFxa8fJ

   Experts say no new information in Netanyahu’s Iran presentation | Ynet News |

   Former National Security Advisor Prof. Uzi Arad says the prime minister failed to present a ‘smoking gun’ exposing a current violation of the nuclear agreement with Iran; former Mossad official Gad Shimron slams Netanyahu for presenting information on prime-time television, possibly endangering Mossad agents’ lives, instead of sharing it directly with US President Trump.

   Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s press conference Monday has become the talk of the town among former Mossad officials and Israeli experts on Iran. Most of them were impressed by the intelligence achievement, but less by what it contained.

   In fact, some of them say that while Netanyahu’s performance was perfect, it lacked one thing: Proof of a current violation of the nuclear agreement by Iran.

   After praising the Mossad people, Shimron went on to harshly criticize the prime minister and “the very unsuccessful use of the information by a politician disguised as a salesman or a salesman disguised as a politician.

   “It’s a disgrace to present this information on prime-time television,” Shimron added. “There’s no way of knowing which Mossad agent he endangered by doing that. If you have information, you must share it with your allies, and even then you must do a thousand tricks to avoid exposing the source.”

   Shimron said he had discussed the issue Monday night with former Mossad colleagues. “They were shocked by the aberrant use of this information. If Netanyahu wanted (US President Donald) Trump to see this information, he could have shared it with him through the acceptable channels.”
