Over the weekend, Iran marked National Nuclear Technology Day. The stars of the show were going to be new advanced centrifuges at the Natanz uranium enrichment plant. Unfortunately, the stars did not shine and President Hassan Rouhani and his officials were left with a reminder of the previous time the centrifuges at Natanz crashed. In 2010, a joint US-Israeli operation against Iran’s nuclear program is said to have destroyed a fifth of the Iranian centrifuges, using the Stuxnet virus.
A sequence of events have been viewed cumulatively as suggesting that this was no error of engineering so much as plain sabotage. Israel was again the central agent of perpetration, a not implausible accusation given its relentless efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The latest came last November, when Iran’s chief nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was slain by a gun operated by artificial intelligence. At this feat, Brigadier-General Ali Fadavi was almost admiring in description: the gun had “focused only on martyr Fakhrizadeh’s face in a way that his wife, despite being only 25 cm away, was not shot.”
Itamar Eichner of YNet was happy to indulge in questions regarding the latest incident at Natanz. Was the politically troubled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raising a toast with officials of Mossad, the IDF and Shin Bet ahead of Independence Day auspicious? And why did US Defence Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III pay a visit to Israel on April 11, the day the attack took place? Defence analyst Ron Ben-Yishai, also of YNet, suggested that it was “reasonable to assume that the problem … might not have been caused by an accident, but by deliberate sabotage intended to slow the nuclear race accelerated by the negotiations with the US on removing sanctions”.
Israeli and US officials have confirmed that Israel did play a role, though the speculation as to what actually happened at Natanz remains a feast of various courses. The Times of Israel provided some detail: a bomb had been planted in advance at the nuclear enrichment facility near the main electricity line, more than implying that Iran’s nuclear program has been infiltrated and compromised. According to Channel 13 news, the device went off on Sunday at 4 in the morning, after which the facility was evacuated. The bomb crippled the entire facility, leading Channel 13 defence analyst Alon Ben-David to conclude that this was “the worst attack that Iran’s nuclear program has suffered … at the most important Iranian nuclear facility.”
An unnamed Israeli intelligence official told the Kan news that the damage to the site was “extensive” in nature, having affected various types of centrifuges. Others read from the same script in their assessments to Channel 13, citing “severe damage at the heart of Iran’s enrichment program.” In the New York Times, another intelligence official explained that the remotely detonated device had disabled both primary and backup electrical systems.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, preferred to minimise the effect of the blast, claiming on April 12 that the explosion had been “small” and took place “at the electricity distribution centre”. The damage caused could be “quickly repaired.”
But as with the killing of Fakhrizadeh, some officials could not help but be impressed by the manner of execution, inadvertently confessing to the sheer seriousness of it. “The enemy’s plot was very beautiful,” came the reflection from Fereydoun Abbasi, head of the Iranian Parliament’s energy committee. “I’m looking at it from a scientific point of view. They thought about this and used their experts and planned the explosion so both the central power and the emergency power cable would be damaged.”
Such violent behaviour on Israel’s part is heavily leveraged against the relationship with the US. While the Biden administration moves in a constipated fashion towards re-establishing a patchy dialogue with Tehran over the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) talks, Israel persists in remaining a spoiler. The nagging question was whether Israel was unilaterally roguish in order to purposely disrupt such incipient diplomacy, or whether the White House had given a barely noticeable nod of approval for the operation. Doing so would make Israel the agent of disposition, thereby weakening Tehran’s future discussions on the nuclear agreement.
The White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, for her part, was not giving much away, showing that transparency remains, at least in certain areas of the Biden administration, aspirational. “The US was not involved in any manner,” she stated during her April 12 press conference. “We have nothing to add on speculation about the causes or the impacts.” As for planned talks to re-establish the nuclear deal, the Press Secretary claimed that discussions would still proceed on Wednesday in Vienna, expected “to be difficult and long. We have not been given any indication about a change in participation for these discussions.”
Iranian legislators have been none too impressed, insisting that the country’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif suspend talks. Abbas Moghtadaei, deputy chairman of the Parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, suggested that talks undertaken “under pressure have no meaning.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh did not shy back from calling the attack “a crime against humanity” though it was not a crime with much effect. “All decommissioned centrifuges are IR1 and will be replaced with new centrifuges.” Such an act of “nuclear terrorism” triggered Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which permits sovereign states to defend its territory when attacked.
Revenge will come in cold and calculated doses: an assault on Israeli-owned shipping; harrying missile fire from bases in Yemen or Syria; the use of drones on specific Israeli targets. On this, Ben-David had a bland observation to make. “Yesterday signifies that the faceoff between Israel and Iran has escalated to a higher level.” Of even greater concern to Tehran is the obvious point, openly admitted by Moghtadaei, that there have been “very obvious security infiltrations.” Charges of incompetence and treason have begun to thicken the atmosphere.

the actual engineering was likely done in Europe so that would have been easy to design and place Wooden boat builders are not civil electrical or nuclear engineers
EUROPE PRODUCED GAS, MORE NEEDED!
You write about gas but your specialty is burning flags and howling. Gas is way over your head. You guys might poison yourself.
The proper response would, as usual, be to burn Israeli and American flags and howl “Death to America,” “Death to Israel.” The Islamic ridiculous Republic of Iran.
As we say in India, Shanti before gloating. The cowardly jackal mocks it enemies, while the lion eats it. The Persian lion is about to roar.

Israel can’t do anything to Iran……its too small and too far away.
They are desperate cowards and are humiliated as Iran just showed all the working centrifuges. Iranian nuclear engineers are world class for sure. They even sang patriotic songs after repairing the minor damage.
Minor damage ? lol
Not according to Iranian reporting …
Denial is all you got
Israel can’t do anything to Hezbollah……it’s it’s doorstep and it’s more powerful than the Kazarians. Checkmate squatter. No-one likes you.
Why so salty brah? why the long face?
BTW …
if Hezbollah is so strong … why have they attacked since 2006?
Lebanon is a failed state … bankrupt … electricity is not available and summer heat unbearable … think of the Arab sweat stench
C’mon Man … you’re finished
Yes, meanwhile make small incident sound big and make sure media gives a James Bond twist to it for a addtional spice.
The Islamist Persian lion is only roaring. Apparently something broke his teeth.
did the lion rape your mother or why so angry dear Iranophob?
You sound very angry, I’m sarcastic (check in the dictionary what that means). I, too, would have been very angry if my enemy had done to me what the Israelis do to you without minimal resistance. You guys look like the fools in Bollywood movies, Israel looks like Agent Bond 007.
What have they really done? You are like a angry child hooked on western movies. Bollywood is more fun. Enjoy and get a life. Iran is secure. Mohammad Rafi was a living legend and very popular in the Middle East, even Hollywood used this song in a movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnBbjc5hmho
With a regime of Islamist mullahs Iran is very far from secure.
You will die an angry isolated person. Be kind to yourself.
You don’t have to worry about me. I’m sure you would take my place wholeheartedly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p35SzPHCG5o
do not worry about our country. You can’t even control the death toll from mass shootings in your shithole Amerikkka any many other dirty things
Seems like a ‘rip off’ from Beach Blanket Bingo circa ‘mid-60’s’ … lol
Wow … so that’s ‘authentic’ Indian culture? ROTFLMAO
the Hollywood Agent who slept with your mummy? I am happy you finally found your father. Congratulation
👏👏👏👏
Poor MEK koskesh is really butt hurt :)
LOL, in Hindi it is a dalaal.
But meanwhile and through Houttis…the Persian lion have destroyed 2 times Saudi refineries….and I have no doubts that in case of war vs Israel… a rain of ballistic missile, cruise missile and drones will hit Israel from Iran, Syria, lebanon, Yemen, Gaza,Irak…
Excuses, excuses, excuses. At least you don’t deny that something happened as you usually do.
👏👏👏
Indian RAW believes that Iran will exact revenge. That is the reason the US has disassociated itself with anything to do with this largely failed attempt. Iranians are still reprocessing nuclear fuel. The Russian FM visit has much to do with cooling the situation. Iran will not be retaliating until their presidential elections and outcome of JCPOA.
This round of JCPOA has a pre-determined outcome. As all US initiated “negotiations” contain. Iran need only straighten the fuck up, and US will shower the country with it’s benevolence. The problems with this diplomatic goofiness is Iran has remained 100% in compliance with the long dead JCPOA. Despite US assassination of the agreement it signed on to, re-instating the sanctions lifted by the deal, and slapping more, and bigger sanctions on the country. US Government demonstrated it’s compassion, empathy, and collective character to the world when after delivering a bio-weapons attack of ethnicity specific derivatives of COVID-19 virus against Iran, (several other countries US has chosen as enemies as well) it’s next move was sanction medical supplies, threatening to punish severely countries that are non-compliant with the sanctions. Including humanitarian aid to Iran. By these actions US Government made clear it’s collective character as human beings. An embarrassment to our species. A surprised US Government, unaware of Iran’s advanced medical technology, and capabilities, managed an effective treatment, and had begun development of an actual vaccine independently. The Cabal was nonplussed. Both Russia, and China sent nonstop military cargo planes of humanitarian aid, medical equipment, fully staffed, and cleaning crews to sanitize everything. Sharing it’s medical science with Iran as well. Iran is in final testing of an actual, non-mRNA untested gene therapy, effective vaccine, that performs as vaccines are expected. It will soon join Russia, and China as the producers of safe, effective actual vaccines for their own people, and countries that aren’t practicing genocide on their populations. Reasonably priced, in contrast to the Western mRNA failed experimental untested, gene therapy somehow given emergency approval despite it being absolutely useless in protecting against the now fizzled out COVID-19 virus derivatives. But does often kill those injected within hours to days after the shot. It is DNA altering, the effects are not known, but are irreversible. The effects of exposure to Corona Virus when flu season arrives will give insight to the true nature of this not vaccine. As if this isn’t already completely transparent. That it’s produced by the most rabid de-populationist’s on earth, who’s products have killed millions, severely disabled millions more in African, and South American countries, as well as countries in Europe, and US in the past. In the present, too. Countries US has attacked/occupy, and destroyed at the behest of it’s Cabal masters, have had bio-weapons deployed against the whole country, including our own military personnel. All of this without the knowledge, and consent of the populations attacked with bio-weapons, chemical weapons, DU weapons, all banned, WMD’s, the use of these weapons is a crime against humanity, a war crime. Western Government’s have set themselves above the law’s of God, and man. Laws are for goyim.
What a load of BS …
Wow …
Fantasist … an Iranian propagandist on this site … eh?
Where’s your proof … ya f/kn goof? lol
Vaccine? The Sino vaccine is worthless … 50% efficacy and the variants are going to mess with Iran like nothing you’ve seen before … eh? lol
The Iranian vaccine? Lol
The Mullahs already got their dose of Pfizer … do you think they’re S T U P I D? They know y’all are stupid pawns in their game …

It’s coming to Iran as well … eh?
Coming ta git ya
And what about Israel?…ask to ashkelon citizens who have learn how to hide in shelter faster than rats…ask to Jews population living close to palestinians how to avoid stones vs cars…ask to tourist who dont want marks in their passport to avoid problems in other countries….Israel only are viable by US financial aid
Jews won’t visit Syria or Iran?
What’s the problem … eh?
Your talking points are stale dated …
next
I am talking about foreign Tourist who visit Israel…and Israel dont stamp marks in their passport to avoid them problems!
They stamped mine … and I went to Turkey afterwards
Because you were granted as sexual tourism for israeli people looking for goats is allowed!…by the way dont use israeli ships…..
Israeli ships? Slight damage today?
C’mon Man!
Always promising payback but ALWAYS getting egg on your face!

Israel #14 on Happiest Country on Planet Earth …
Israelis love to travel … welcomed everywhere except the usual suspects
👏👏👏
Hardly a ‘lion’ … a paper tiger is more apt
that’s good and necessary if you view the atlanticists attempts to form coalitions against Russia and China and the war-mongering going on. the first victim in this scenario ought to be the jews in palestine, it’s time to walk back the situation and empty palestine of all illegally present jews and go for the one palestinian state solution.
say 10 million jews against 85 million Iranians plus the lebanese, the syrians, the iraqis and the turks, the jews are cooked and will be red-listed shortly while I’ll go to william hill and put my money on the iranians – available bets 100 to 1 or 1000 to one that the jews are cooked and shortly red listed. the jews friggin hell don’t stand a chance, luckily for the the world.
Actually, there are 7 million so-called Jews in occupied Palestine and 2 million are fake Uki and Russian economic welfare leeching “Jews” who arrived after the collapse of the USSR for free western money. The new census today spells doom for the Zionists.
there is an oppressive occupation regime in place right at this minute and there is no diplomatic isolation what so ever. guess you will have to wait for a severely diminished disunited states of A before the world is prepared to raise any kind of protests against the jews in palestine. and moreover, the ‘british-run mandate of 1948 is hardly relevant since the jews have under the lebensraum banner expropriated the better part of palestine leaving the palestinians with scraps and still not a murmur of protest from the world.
BS
Arab population has remained steady at 20% of Jewish population
Pals are divided … 50% of Gazans are under the age of 25 …. 50% of adults when polled would emigrate
The Pals are finished … their ‘cause’ extinct
The Jews control the lands from the River to the Sea
Only 100 to1 or 1000 to 1 ? lol
I’ll take that bet … lol
Who would have thunk that Fahrblongit, the Nuke scientist would be offed in broad daylight WHILE BEING GUARDED?
Who would have thunk al Qaeda’s #2, would be offed in the streets of Tehran?
Who would have thunk Natanz could be attacked TWICE in the same year?
Ya f/kn nazi …
Roar? lol
Iran is a paper tiger …. moew
If Iran dares to attack … it will be destroyed by land / sea / air
Sabotage or not, the simple verdict of demographics and history is the the Zionist entity is a dead duck.
Jewish population at lowest percentage since founding of Israel
Close to the establishment of the illegal state in Palestine, the Jewish percentage of the population stood at 82.1%, while today it stands at only 73.9% and is projected to drop to less than 50% by 2040, if it survives that long. More Jews are leaving than being replaced.
BS …
Jewish population growth exceeds that on Arab Israelis AND Arab Palestinians … lol
Israeli women have 3+ children STILL while Arabs are having less
Iranian women aren’t reproducing for the VILE IRGC POLICE STATE … the demographic decline is clear … but Global Warming will have depleted the water supply before then … eh Malthus?
Soon with open borders and mass Arab and African immigration Israel’s Jewish population will plunge to less then 5%
Open borders ? lol
Something is afoot in Iran, after a two day visit to India, Russian FM Sergei Lavrov has made an unexpected visit to Iran and announced plans for a defence and strategic pact, similar to the one Iran and China signed.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0d3fd8eb6f09c040744144b292dac1cbc1efaac136dc7f3173ad31ee8eb1f514.jpg
TEHRAN – Tehran and Moscow are going to sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement during Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s surprise visit to Tehran, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said.
Khatibzadeh announced at a press conference on Monday that Lavrov has arrived unannounced from India in Iran tonight.
The agreement on comprehensive cooperation between Iran and Russia will be signed during this ministerial visit, accompanied by a high level military and diplomatic mission, he noted.
It’s to quickly start the INSTC/ EAEU corridors and have the trade on rail road charging about in full speed.
India is also part of Eurasian economic and strategic zone, thanks to our Iranian friends and access to Chah Bahar.
The six super cranes India delivered this month are working round the clock as Chah Bahar is now the largest port in the region with ten times the tonnage of Dubai.

The comfortable body language between Lavrov and Zarif shows the growing bonds between Iran and Russia. There is no country in the world, where senior Russian officials just arrive unannounced and feel at home.
Russia and Iran are enemies … fool
Russia has no interest in allowing Jihadis to prosper
but Iran ain’t no jihadi doc……Iran kills jihadis any chance it gets no?
Iran is a Revolutionary Jihadi State … slug
The IRGC is spreading Jihad throughout the World …. it’s on a mission
Stop joking……get real foo…..Russia and Iran are close now in relations.
Close now?
How about next week … foo…
Iran has no friends … it’s isolated
China? lol. A bad deal for Iran … certainly not a friend
The neighborhood is filled with enemies who surround Iran … lol
Ya think yer tough? lol
I know Iran can count on the Parsi diaspora for sure……now that right there is a holy bond. Billions available to Iran from there no?…….lol
Impressive Iran sabotages Israeli missile factory. Dimona one day the missile factory the next.
Hezbollah and Iran can each destroy Israel’s military and economic infrasture at will.
Take your temperature you’re delusional …
The Everly Brothers sang a song: ‘Dream, Dream … Dream … Dream’
Well Iran Syria and Hezbollah are saying burn burn burn rocket mans, rocket factory. So its a dream come true for them.
We also see Israel’s air defence is junk garbage can’t shoot down 45 year old Soviet missiles. But it was good for making the fake Jews at the top lots of big $$ off of their USSA slaves. They forgot as they always do eventually when they kill their own host there are no slaves or slave systems to defend them.
I guess those fake Jews Soros, Rothchild etc. will be the ones with private bunkers in New Zealand when it comes time for you to die for them like when they ran the holocaust to chase Jews to Palestine and murdered and robbed those who refused to go. Did you know Rothchilds emptied the Swiss bank accounts of Jews all over Europe before and during WW2, those who refused to go to Palestine as did the Soros klan etc.

Hey what happened to? Agreed … thanks John
Your tribes global empire is about to implode. The only question is how many innocent Goyims wiil your tribes empire murder on its way down?
I say in the USSA at least 150 million, maybe another 150 million in the EU as well.
Sounds good to me …
300 million vs 7 million Israelis
Actually no because your tribe has already murdered about 300 million innocent Goyims in the past 400 years. The black holocaust 100 million plus, the Soviet holocaust 66 million plus, the Chinese Opium holocaust 50 plus million dead, South America, Africa, etc. etc.
No one cares what I say or think. Not my words, the voluntary confessions bragging from the lips of your own tribe. I get it all from your tribe look it up.Also from the Israeli media, especially the Hebrew media.
So 666 million.
Wars are the Jews harvest, for with them we wipe out the Christians and get control of their gold. We have already killed 100 million of them, and the end is not yet.” (Chief Rabbi in France, in 1859, Rabbi Reichorn.)
I think it was great how Abraham Lincoln handed your tribe its greatest defeat in 300 years

EPIC FAIL: ISRAEL SAYS ITS COMPLEX AIR-DEFENSE NETWORK FAILED TO INTERCEPT SOVIET MISSILE LAUNCHED BY SYRIA
It landed near the Dimona nuclear reactor which is the nuclear detrerent for Hezbollah and Iran each. If Israel attacks either of them them they can each on their own destroy it rendering Israel un-inhabitable for hundreds of years.
Israel has acknowledged that its state-of-the-art, multi-tiered air-defense network had failed to intercept a Soviet air-defense missile launched by Syria.
The missile, a 5V21-type of an S-200 air-defense system, was launched by the Syrian Arab Air Defense Forces at Israeli warplanes preparing to launch airstrikes on the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, early on April 22. The missile missed its target but went on to land some 250 km deep in Israel, 40 km away from the Dimona nuclear reactor.
During a press conference in Tel Aviv, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz acknowledged that the military had failed to intercept the stray Syrian missile.
“The IDF worked to prevent a potential strike on critical assets in the State of Israel. A SA-5-model of surface-to-air missile was fired, passed through the area,” Gantz said. “There was an attempt to intercept it, which did not succeed. We are still investigating the event.”
Gantz did not explain how Israel’s complex and expensive air-defense network, which consists of dozens of Iron Dome, David Sling, Patriot and Arrow batteries, had failed to intercept a missile developed in the Soviet Union all the way back in the 60s.
Israel responded to the incident by targeting the Syrian S-200 battery which launched the missile. Several other targets were also struck.
The 5V28V missile is an upgraded copy of the 5V21. Click to see full-size image.
The Syrian Arab News Agency reported that four Syrian service members were injured as a result of Israel’s retaliatory strikes. However, pro-government sources revealed that an officer, 1st Lt. Bassel Khadur, was killed in the strikes.
The exact circumstances of what happened early on April 22 between Israel and Syria are yet to be revealed. However, there is no doubt that the incident exposed some serious problems in the Israeli air-defense network, which costed the country as well as the US billions of dollars.

With Russia’s help Iran’s military and especially its air defence will be impenetrateble for the Zio empire and therefore its nuclear program untouchable from now on.
Now Iran will have a great nuclear arsenal then Israel’s with 3 years or less, with much more advanced ballistic and cruise missiles to carry them, then Israel has.
The current match is not only between Iran and the Empire of Evil, the London-New York-Tel Aviv axis is in war with all over the world, useless to speculate about speculations, and Isisrahellians are not a serious source, only of the incaltion liars, when the accounts will be made many of them will end up hanging, for having committed crimes against humanity, or even just to claimed of.
Disabled Israeli army veteran commits self-immolation after reports of racism against Arab Sephardi Jews.
The ministry said in a statement that the 26-year-old Ishak Saidan of Iraqi background arrived at the Rehabilitation Department’s offices in Petah Tikva on Monday afternoon with a bottle full of flammable liquid, doused himself with it, and then set himself on fire in the entryway after claiming to suffer systematic discrimination in his claims processing .
These ashkeNAZI are horrible racist people and turned Indians against them with their boorish racist attitude. Now they don’t visit India as much.
PTSD … a veteran from 2014 … saw many of his brothers die
One poor bloke … it’s a shame
Brigadier-General Ali Fadavi was almost admiring in description: the gun had “focused only on martyr Fakhrizadeh’s face in a way that his wife, despite being only 25 cm away, was not shot.”
And that was the first thing the U.S. security detail said about Oswald when he shot Kennedy. They were amazed that Jackie O’ didn’t get a scratch on her. The BBC link did not attribute the source and even added, ‘this statement could not be confirmed’. This is the Mossad playing on Israeli / U.S. narcissism.
The TOS says something I do believe because it’s logical. They talk about physical sabotage that would require local operatives, one or two explosives placed at key locations to disrupt the power supply. This was not a ‘cyberattack’ but the myth of the brilliant cyberattack will be repeated over and over again. Iran’s not using Windows anymore and I’m certain they don’t have accessible controllers on the internet.
It’s possible that they could have issued the detonate command remotely over a separate wireless command or it could have been set to explode at a set time. We can bribe local Iranians with buckets of cash and promise of export visas. If only 1% of Iranians take the deal then local sabotage is always possible but the cyberattack scenario is getting less likely.
Each outlets are changing the scripts every hours.
First was “electrical accident” w/ not much material damage > “Cyber attacks” > “Sabotage” > “Terror attacks” > ” Large scale damage”.
Meanwhile, Iran isn’t showing any damage. Which it could to take itself off from the ongoing negotiations.
WHY and by WHOM an American President was MURDERED “We are concerned with the disturbing effects on world stability which would accompany the development of nuclear weapons capability by Israel. I cannot imagine that the Arabs would refrain from turning to the Soviet Union for assistance if Israel were to develop nuclear weapons capability–with all the consequences this would hold. But the problem is much larger than its impact on the Middle East. Development of nuclear weapons capability by Israel would almost certainly lead other larger countries, that have so far refrained from such development, to feel that they must follow suit”- John F. Kennedy. ——— under the Symington Amendment to the Foreign Appropriations Act and the Glenn Act, it is illegal for the US Government to send our tax money to any nation in possession of nuclear weapons technology that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or allow IAEA inspections. Symington Amendment: Since 1976, every single penny of “aid” to Israel money has been illegal; a crime committed by the US Government against the American people. all that money the US sends to Israel is a CRIME AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ——- The World should insist Israel live by the standards Israel demands of others. Be judged as Ye judge others. If Israel wants to be recognized, Israel must recognize the EQUALITY and HUMANITY of ALL People. Quit calling NON-Jews SHISKA, GOYIM, GENTILE. If Israel wants Hamas to ‘repudiate’ their charter, Israel must REPUDIATE their manual of hate, the TORAH, which openly proclaims that all ‘gentiles’ should be ‘Hewers of wood, and bearers of water’ …….. for Israel. Israel must recognize the Native People’s RIGHT to a Palestinian state. Israel REFUSES to sign the Non Proliferation Treaty or open It’s NUKES to inspection, Israel should have the exact same sanctions that were put on Iran
lol
In recent years quite a lot has happened. People like us are living in a surreal world, where “Af’al atzmecha” is way of doing things. I’ve been looking at these events as they unfold vis-a-vis Iran and middle east.
Last june when a fire explosion reaped through a section of Natanz facility, the average turn around from that accident was estimated to take 2 years. Meaning, Iran’s nuclear capability has been delayed for “another 2 years”. Given the significant damage that happened to IR1 variant fuel rods and the section that was storing them. All seems to be lost. At least on paper that is!
Now, come April 2021, “National Nuclear Day” has commenced with marking the injection of IR6 rods and unveiling of IR9s. An advanced variants which can process 6 tonnes to 9 tonnes of enriched Uranium annually compared to earlier generation IR1/2/3 which could enrich 1 to 3 tonnes respectively. This means, the previous claims of delaying nuclear program back to “2 years’ has proven to be null and void. An anti-dote to delayed program is supplemented with advanced centrifuge rods.
This attack was a gift for Iranian hardliners and IRGC. In fact it couldn’t come at a better time! With the repeated sabotage along with pressure for a deal, meanwhile Iran has reduced access of IAEA to their key sights and removed older rods with more yield based rods in the likes of IR6 and IR7s. In fact Iran is using this as a pretext to increase their production capacity to an unprecedented level. Now with “9 months” delay as keyword, those lost months can be compressed with more yield based rods and reduced commitments.
This incident/s serves two purpose 1) Smoke and mirrors 2) Brings Iran ever closer to a nuclear threshold and helps a section of IRGC. 3) Serves as Netanyahu political desperation with short term goals.
Given the low blows from israel and repeated talks of “delaying program” . I think, either Iran is playing us as fools or israel is playing rash like “Af’al atzmecha”!
Because JCPOA actually doesn’t serve Iran in short term or even in the medium term.
All I am waiting for now is some snide remarks and spiteful rebuttals.
Mordekha-hee, rods are not inserted into centrifuges, UF6 gas is!……lol
Kindly educate me, as to how is Iran coping with these sabotage?
but mr mordekhahi, you can’t stop mossad recruitment of Iranians who travel to the EU or turkey or Malaysia. The Mossad knows the guy makes $1000 per month, but they put a million in front of him no? with a US passport no? What would you do mr Mordekhahi?
Buying out Iranians has become this easy?
Perhaps 5 years down the line I may even buy out Iranians with fesenjan with little pieces of chicken in them.
to be honest, I don’t believe anymore that anything even happened at Natanz……If you go even 10 miles close to it, the Vevak will stop you, cuz they watching like hawks. Now here we are being made to believe a local employee of tavanir somehow avoided/ evaded 10 million layers of security and stuck a mossad supplied bomb on a power substation located within the Natanz complex?……lol…..really?…..this narrative even put james bond to shame no?…..lol…..I think its all just total rubbish and nothing happened.
Self-delusion it’s called … eh?
Smoke crack … it’s easier on the brain than worrying about things that’ll upset you
next
Your time’s up brah……lol……just an acknowledgement of it left no? You can’t do diddly no?…….just run to daddy US no?…..lol
It’s y’all that will burnt for crossing the Jews / Zionists /Israelis … eh?
Never……Koroush Kabir released them from slavery and a certain death…….they will always bow down to the mighty Iran. They dare not even make a wrong move. And thus far, they haven’t.
Cyrus the Great was an infidel ….
the Ayatollah / IRGC are vile Shia Jihadis bent on World domination and the destruction of the Jewish State ….
Reliving your past is good for daydreams …
but, the past has a strong bearing on da future no?…..lol…..yeah sure, on the global stage the country’s falsely portrayed as ‘vile’ and ‘hard-core’……but when yous go there its totally not religious. Nobody cares what religion you are in Iran.
Except … the Ayatollahs are in charge … and keep women down and Sharia law rules the state … nobody cares but EVERYBODY is Shia
Israel is the same … nobody cares except everyone is Jewish
but yous neither, yet here you are beyond obsessed no?…..lol…..come on no?…lol….Most of yous are apolitical now in the local irrelevant communities, but secretly only care about a Sassanian resurrection. Here, Iran’s handing it back to you on a platter, yet you nag incessantly?…..lol….just hilarious doc….yous a funny guy.
Wow … are all you louts disturbed?
next
lol…..you can run doc, but ya can’t from me…….
Perhaps IRGC did it to avoid future nuclear talk.
Create a pretext so that Iranians can put IR6 to a good use?
of course…… I bet you any money this scam that Iran pulled on Natanz is just part of the learning curve. And why not? if the west can pull scams and false flags, then so can Iran. Simple as that.
Joke aside, Iran can only do so much to prevent next phase of incidents.
Denial …
Natanz has been attacked TWICE … hello?
The reality is … however it was pulled off … the Mossad has capabilities that are INCREDIBLE and lethal
Take that chip off your shoulder …
Iran will be attacked when Yossi says ‘it’s time’
“the Mossad has capabilities that are INCREDIBLE” – access to the U.S. Treasury Dept to pay local operatives.
Iran has more uranium than they want. They are producing higher levels just to show that they can and that there is a price when others break the agreement. Iran is hopelessly naïve. They should build nuclear weapons because they will always be treated as if they already have them. They might as well at least get some of the benefit.
Are you naive? lol
If they had them … they would have had a test FIRST …. hello?
They’re inept …
The fact that Natanz has been hit twice shows how inept they are … the IRGC is filled with believers NOT those who are the sharpest pencils … that’s the issue!
It’s NOT a meritocracy but a loyalty to the regime issue … full stop Sure the cadres are loyal but NOT of the best quality … eh?
I did not say that Iran has nuclear weapons. I said that Iran should build nuclear weapons. If Iran wanted nuclear weapons, they could have had them 20yrs ago. The damage on Natanz is about as serious as a pillow fight.
Netanyahu knows this, he figures he can kick Iran around as much as he wants to because he can always count on them being well behaved and claim to be the victim.
Rationalizing much?
Pillow fight? lol

Iran does already have a nuclear weapon against Israel and it is far more powerful then the nuclear weapons Israel has andit is much easier to use .
Iran’ nuclear weapon is Israel’s Dimona nuclear weapons plant. If Iran were to ever destroy it all of Israel would be uninhabitable for over 100 years.It will give off 1000 times the radiation of a regular nuclear bomb for centuries. Look at Fukishima and Chernobyl. The no go zones are larger then Israel and the Chernobyl no go zone won’t be inhabitable for probably another 500 years.
ROTFLMAO
Israel hasn’t thought about that Einstein?
C’mon Man! Wake up …
You’re playing checkers … they’re playing 3D Chess …
next
Then why is the plant still there numnuts??
I am sure you had visions of 3 d chess before Israel was defeated by Hezbollah in 2006 and before the invasion of Iraq which made Iraq an Iranian ally. Everything Israel has been doing with regard to Iran has been mistake after mistake and only made Iran much stronger. Israel has made Iran so strong that Israel’s USSA slaves can no longer project military or economic power into the middle east and are now being driven out by Iran.
All of Israel’s military and economic infrastructure will be destroyed by Hezbollah in any new war including Dimona Hezbollahs nuclear weapon against Israel.
I am laughing at the alleged superior master race intellect
Muslim… braggadocio
It was Nasrallah who cried after the war: ‘Had I known this would be the Israeli retaliation … I wouldn’t have started the war’ … hello?
Lebanon is still lacking sufficient electricity 15 years later … hello?
More dead Lebanese than Israelis …
I predict 200,000 dead Lebanese in the first 48 hours should there be war … ‘We are ALL Hezbollah’ will bury the Lebanese along with Hezbollah … count on it
Wrong. Iran does already have a nuclear weapon against Israel and it is far more powerful then the nuclear weapons Israel has and it is much easier to use.
Iran’ nuclear weapon is Israel’s Dimona nuclear weapons plant. If Iran were to ever destroy it all of Israel would be uninhabitable for over 100 plus years. It will give off 1000 times the radiation of a regular nuclear bomb for centuries. Look at Fukishima and Chernobyl. The no go zones are larger then Israel and the Chernobyl no go zone won’t be inhabitable for probably another 500 years.
“Never interrupt you’re enemy when he is making a mistake”
Napoleon …
The Mullahs have crossed the Jews / Zionists / Israelis … that was their mistake … full stop
Iran, is winning defeating the racist supremacist global Jewish satanic slave empire dictatorhip on every front. Who would have thought it possible in 1979? God truly is on their side against Satanic Jews and israel.
Iran is winning?
Yes … the NEGATIVE Lottery lol
If it wasn’t for bad luck Iran would have no luck at all
next
Iran is now at the borders of Israel.
Iran is militarily much stronger then they have ever been.
Iran now has an alliance with China negating Zio empire sanctions forever.
Iranianian economy now more sefl sufficient then ever.
Iraq now close ally of Iran.
Syria now close ally of Iran.
Zio puppet Saudis losing war to Houthis and soon to collapse to be replaced with pro Iran government which will mean all the Zio puppet gulf countries to fall as well to revolutiion.
So Saudi and gulf countries soon to be close allies of Iran.
Russia to sign alliance with Iran.
Hezbollah now stonger then ever much stronger than 2006 when they defeated Israel now they are able to destory the Isreali military and economy on their own.
USSA and EU slaves of Israel which Israel needs to suck off of to survie on verge of total collapse.
I don’t believe the government of Israel as it exists today a racist supreamcist Jewish government will exist in 10 years. it will be a majority Arab, African government with a majority Arab, African population.

Lebanon is a bankrupt failed state … their missiles will be their doom
Do get me wrong Israel will suffer but their enemies will be destroyed …
Inshallah
Your racist supremacist global satanic slave empire dictatorship just suffered its greatest defeat in Alaska at the hands of the Chinese, since Abraham Lincoln broke the Jewish confederacy and the Zio slave trade in the Americas.
Your tribe is just as deluded as the Persians were when they were stupid enough to pick a fight with Ghengas Kahn.
China is now the number one economy, China is the number one trade partner of EU, Russia, Turkey etc. etc. The Zio empires decline accelerates every day. In 5 years, China will be twice the size of the rapidly declining USA economy and Russia will pull even further ahead in military technology.
The United States the slvae muscle of your empire already fails to meet a number criterion imperative for the status of superpower, among which a military one is crucial. If some American military “strategists” still exercised a suicidal idea of fighting Russia conventionally in Ukraine in 2014, today in 2021 such an idea is downright mad, because the United States cannot win conventional war in Russia’s vicinity and any US force will be annihilated. This leaves the United States only two options:
1. Indeed, believing its own propaganda, try to unleash mayhem in Ukraine, provoke Russia into a direct military operation and then introduce whatever the force US and NATO will muster into the theater of operations. Any such plan is bound to fail miserably because not only such a force will be annihilated but participating NATO nations will face the possibility of their military installations destroyed by stand-off weapons. That raises the possibility of US escalating to nuclear threshold which means that the United States and its Israeli lei masters may cease to exist as a country. This is an undesirable plan and majority of US policy makers, bar some severe cases of psychological
Russophobic disorders which are numerous in the current Administration and America’s Zio elites, understand what it means. So, while not completely impossible, a probability for such a plan being implemented is fairly low. Not to mention the fact that for the US to fight conventionally around Russia will require assembly of the force which will dwarf whatever was assembled for the First Gulf War. There, the United States had almost 6 months to do so.
2. So, what’s left realistically is to push Ukraine into the suicidal campaign with Russia being designated aggressor before even the first shots are fired. What the United States does not recognize is the fact that this unties Russia’s hands who already has an overwhelming escalation dominance not only over Ukraine, but whatever might be attempted in terms of “support” for irrational regime in Kiev. Russia has many options, the United States has one—it needs war in Donbass, which, Washington’s thinking goes, will allow to drive Europeans into submission, which allegedly should allow the United States and its Zio slave masters to save her hegemonic status. It will not even if Europe is driven into submission. United States today has the only one resource left which allows it to stay relevant—virtual reality of both money “printing” press and of the Zio media propaganda which is increasingly ineffective. One could hide America’s decrepit cities, mass riots, destruction of the education system, incompetence of political and military top echelons, suicidal social practices and breakdown of law and order, aggravated by huge lines to food banks for only so long. Now it is in the open and even subjugation of Europe and, allegedly, opening Europe’s markets to those few items the United States can still provide for its clients there, does not change the fact that the United States as it exists today has no future with or without Europe and that it still has to recon with China’s immense manufacturing capacity and Russia’s advanced military might which drive unification of the Eurasian market whether the United States unleashes war in Ukraine or not. Even without EU this market dwarfs whatever the United States will be able to “salvage” in order to avoid relegation to a lower league. It cannot stop a process which was ongoing for years now, once Russia, after, the bloody coup in Ukraine, understood that there is nobody to talk too in the combined West which apart from losing its military and economic power, started to disintegrate from the inside due to Western societies becoming increasingly totalitarian and unable to face the reality that we still live in the highly industrialized world which needs energy, industrial plant and weapons which will defend them. Both China and Russia seem to accumulate all that and with it the fate of the United States is sealed. Bill Clinton may have thought that he “charted the new course for a new economy” in 2000, too bad for him, and the US, the “new economy” turned out to be an old one. What? You didn’t think that jeans, smartphones and rocket engines grow on the trees, did you?
3. Europe is not anymore, a crucial trade partner for Russia and mutual trade plummeted in the last few years. The trend will continue and it is not only due to America’s pressure, albeit that too, on EU but is a result of Russia steady change of both economic model and her reorientation towards Asia which is now largely complete. Russia simply doesn’t need anymore many goods she used to buy in the EU. The policy of import substitution on average is a success and Russia economically insulating herself from the West will continue.
4. A much-discussed pipeline of Nord Stream 2 is, actually, not a crucial economic project for Russia anymore. Russia can absorb losses if the project eventually sabotaged by the United States and its European poodles such as Poland, but for Germany, and EU in general, this sabotage will result in catastrophe, due to European greens’ suicidal energy policies which make European goods costs extremely energy-dependent. In realty, America’s attempts to sabotage Nord Stream 2 are primarily directed against EU in general, and Germany in particular, not against Russia per se.
5. The United States and its masters the racist supremacist global Jewish slave empire dictatorship lost the arms race. America’s weapons acquisition process and military doctrine-mongering cannot be viewed anymore as a normal, that is logical and justified, process. While still being able to produce some state-of-the-art platforms and enablers, such as signal processing, combat computer and communications networks, recon assets, in terms of actual weapons the United States begins to lag behind Russia not just in years but in generations. As recent, February 2021, Congressional Budget Office report on missile defense admitted, the United States is defenseless against salvo of combination of new Russia’s cruise missiles and that there is nothing to stop them. There isn’t. US air defense systems lag behind Russian ones dramatically and the gap only grows with Russia’s S-500 getting into serial production and the latest S-350 already being deployed into the first line units.
You’re in the ‘Twilight Zone’ …
Do not get me wrong …
hello? with computer simulations you don’t need to do a live test in 2021. Also they can get such test data from North Korea if they really needed it.
These attacks help Iran same as in Syria, Iraq etc.and are not strategically significant even when they do partially succeed which is not often
“”Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” – Napoleon Bonaparte

Now Iran will have a much greater nuclear arsenal then Israel’s many times the size of Israel’s, with much more advanced delivery systems like ballistic and cruise missiles to carry them,
then Israel has.
Along with iran’s ace in the hole, Israel’s totally exposed and defenceless Dimona nuclear weapons plant
lol
Incompetent IRGC … lol
Israel will attack Iran directly BEFORE they acquire a Nuclear Bomb
You Iranians / Muslims always need someone to rescue y’all … ain’t no cavalry coming … Iran is friendless
dude you yelling…….calm down….Iran won’t throw you in the ovens. Settle down now…..lol
YOUR IRGC have it out for the Jewish People …
I will NOT be calming down until the IRGC are burnt … full stop
but doc yous just a private Indian fella no?……lol….come on brah, where yous and where the shyster no? nothing in common no? Stop all this anti-Iran rhetoric. Be a good boy no? getting angry over something so foreign to you no? yous got Iranian genes no……be respectful of Iran.
Respect? Respect?
I have nothing but HATE for the Ayatollahs / IRGC …
yeah, but from your perspective, your only hope is a greater Iran with the diaspora resurrecting Persepolis. It’s the only way that Iran brings them all back and declares a Zoro Vatican, as a small semi autonomous city state near Shiraz. There is nothing else left to prevent extinction.
Too sad my Iranian-centric khar
Your civilization died and will be buried finally ….
Inshallah
The Iranian ‘clown’ farbat is clinically insane
A running off the mouth sicko … hopefully he get Covid and die
These sabotage seems to affect Iran’s nuclear operational and tactical capability.
However, strategic and long term calculus will remain unchanged.
With each incidents (done by IRGC or mossad) will only close the loop holes or better yet designed to make dialogue less of a pressing need.
