Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dramatic presentation on Iran’s defunct nuclear program — with his claim that tens of thousands of files prove there was an effort to build and test weapons — didn't contain any big surprises for the U.S. intelligence community, two U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.
The information unveiled by Netanyahu with great fanfare on Monday has largely been known to American intelligence agencies for years, the officials said, confirming the assessment of Washington lawmakers and private experts.
Other U.S. intelligence officials added that nothing in the documents, which Netanyhu said were smuggled out of Tehran, has changed the American intelligence judgment that Iran is living up to its agreement not to restart a nuclear weapons program, as American intelligence officials told senators Feb. 13.
The three U.S. officials said Israel now seems to be preparing for military action and is seeking U.S. help and support.
On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CNN that "nobody" wants war, but that Iran is the aggressor and that Israel has to "take a stand."
Israel's military acknowledges it has struck inside Syria more than 100 times since 2012, with weapons convoys intended for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

Riiight, Nutty-Hoo!
Of course you don't really want war with Iran. You've just been kidding about threatening them for how many years now?
I'm wondering how Iran will react if Israel throws any bombs on them, not just hit their bases in Syria. I don't see any upside for them to not respond, but if they do, won't that bring us into this shit-show? Or are "we" hoping that is what Iran does? Then there's what action Russia takes if Israel keeps bombing Iranian bases in Syria. The longer Russia stays neutral, the weaker they look. (?)?
The Real War for Syria is Taking Place in Its Skies
Strike that. Russia has delivered its S-300 missile defense system. They arrived last week, IIRC. Plus Russia brought a bunch of other military equipment into Syria last March including tanks and other ground equipment.
If someone wants to lay out possible scenarios for what the game plan is if Israel keeps attacking Iran in Syria or if they just do a direct strike on the homeland I'd appreciate it. BTW. If this stupid and asinine game of war does escalate, hang on to your wallets because gas is going to go sky high! Fookers!!!
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.
This is an honest of question as i can muster
To my knowledge, Iran has supplied Hezbolah in Lebanon with 10's of thousands of rockets. Iran has established many bases in Syria, including the Golan Heights. Iran continues to supply Hamas in Gaza despite the PA saying it hasn't happened. Egypt thinks it happened.
So, what you're saying is that it is the jooz? They're apartheid loopy? They are not attacked daily? There are no tunnels? And on and on and on.
Going back to Oslo, how many times has the PLO/PA walked away from the deal? There is no "Right Of Return". I do recall that Lebanon and Jordan kicked the Palestinians out of their countries. Outrage? BTW after you lose 3 or 4 wars, you cannot litigate the outcome back to your favor. You lost.
Is it Israels fault that the United Nations established Israel in 1948? Were you even born in 1948? I wasn't. We can agree, there is enough complicity in the never ending conflict to cover everyones bases?
When people are out to get you, paranoia only makes sense.
Right?

This is the snake at the core of our war policies
yet no one is even allowed to criticize him. We live in an environment wherein even tenured professors are fired for daring to criticize Israel.
