Throwback, Senator🇺🇸 Chris Murphy:
‘In our closed-door briefings, we learned that destroying Iran's nuclear program is NOT a goal of the war. Which is of course not surprising because you can't destroy Iran’s nuclear program from the air.
You can’t destroy knowledge. You can’t hunt down every single Iranian scientist that knows how to build a nuclear reactor with missiles.
The material is buried so far under ground that it is immune to an air campaign. So why is the President and the Department of Defence telling us that a goal of the war is to destroy Iran’s nuclear program?’
The stated objective of ‘destroying Iran’s nuclear program’ was nothing but a cover for Donald Trump dragging the US into a daft, failed regime change war for Israel…
A war that was categorically not in the interest of the US, since Iran does not pose an existential threat to the US. This war served only the interests of Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet of fanatics.
Prof. Theodore Postol: ‘NO CHANCE Israel’s brutal, immoral strategy of killing Iran’s nuclear scientists can stop Iran’s nuclear program.’
‘There have got to be tens of thousands, if not more, of these Iranian nuclear scientists. You can’t erase cultural capability.
All societies have vast numbers of people who are extraordinarily capable, some of whom are in positions where they’re working at it and some of whom are in subordinate positions who can take over if someone else is killed.
You have people with great talent everywhere, and when you have a society that’s under threat, all of a sudden political differences become irrelevant. Your society is under threat and you do what you need to do to protect your country. That’s what happens.
And you can’t kill everyone. You’d have to kill tens of thousands of people. You don’t even know who these people are. So if you have people modifying and running these centrifuges and you kill them, there’ll be others who come beneath them, who have been mentored by them, who have been around, who have studied.
There’s no way to kill enough of them to stop the programme. This is just a bizarre approach.
I don’t think what the Israelis have done has any chance of working. It’s just a brutal, immoral strategy which, unfortunately, has been the way Israel has conducted itself over the last few years. maybe earlier than that if you’re anti-Zionist, but certainly in the most recent years, certainly in the last five or ten years, especially with Gaza.
The Israelis have been totally out of control. They have a messianic group of people who would have been considered brutal 5,000 years ago according to the culture then, living now, who somehow think that there should be something like a Greater Israel.’
—Former US Chief of Naval Operations Adviser at the Pentagon Prof. Theodore Postol
