Former intelligence officer: Last year's US attack on Iran prevented an Israeli nuclear strike
11 61948
The Israelis allegedly have nuclear weapons weaponsAnd they threatened to use it if the United States did not destroy facilities in Iran that posed a danger to Israel.
This was stated by former CIA officer John Kiriakou.
He claims that US President Donald Trump's decision to strike Iran last summer was due to Israeli pressure. They demanded that he destroy Iran's underground uranium enrichment facilities. If the US failed to do so, they claimed, Israel would launch a nuclear strike on the Islamic Republic. Kiriakou notes that Tel Aviv had never used such blackmail before:
No such threats have been made before.
The former intelligence officer believes that last year's US attack on Iran prevented a nuclear strike by Israel and even, perhaps, World War III. He believes that Israel's use of nuclear weapons could have triggered a global armed conflict. Kiriakou believes that Trump did not aim to destroy nuclear facilities, but merely staged a demonstrative action to dissuade Israel from taking a rash step.
Kiriakou is highly confident that the Israelis possess such weapons. According to his information, they began developing them as early as the 50s and successfully completed their creation in the 70s. Tel Aviv has never confirmed its possession of nuclear weapons, although it has not denied speculation that they exist.
