Mossad predicts nukes for Iran

Countering U.S. intelligence analysis, Mossad predicts nukes for Iran coming in three years

Daily Star News reported Wednesday, Feb. 06, on Israel’s Mossad spy agency estimations of Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear bomb, stating it’s a matter of when: within three years.

The assessment added Iran would continue giving rockets to Islamic terrorists in the region, based on reports released Tuesday, and contradicts U.S. intelligence analysis of a departure by Iran from the nuclear weapon path.

Iran claims to want the nuclear enrichment to several hundred degrees of refinement for energy uses, and does not want to take the enrichment process one degree further to weapons-grade material.

Who should we trust, U.S. intelligence, which based their findings largely on conversations with Iranian leaders? Or, should we trust a foreign spy agency like Mossad?

Mossad director Meir Dagan, in an intelligence assessment presented to the Israei Parliament's powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday, said the Jewish state would face increased threats on all fronts, the Maariv daily said.

Dagan's estimate of Iran's nuclear ambitions differs sharply from an assessment by the US intelligence community late last year that said Iran had mothballed its nuclear weapons program in 2003.

That report compiled by 16 US intelligence agencies said that even it tried, the Islamic Republic would not be able to attain a nuclear weapon until 2015.

Israel has questioned those findings, claiming that although Iran may have temporarily halted its nuclear drive five years ago it has since relaunched it while pressing ahead with a public uranium enrichment program. It has offered no evidence for its allegations.

Tehran, afforded the right to peacefully enrich uranium under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has always insisted its program is for civilian purposes.

In Monday's report, Dagan also predicted that Tehran would "continue" to supply more and better rockets and training to Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip.

Dagan added that Iran's allies, Syria and Lebanon's Hizbullah, were also working to develop increased rocket capability.

"Syria is improving its surface-to-surface missile system and today the quantity of missiles and rockets is twice as large as two years ago," Dagan said, according to Maariv. 

Who should we trust? Perhaps we should consider who has the most to lose if they are wrong…

Perhaps it should be more than somewhat suspicious that a dominant oil producer wants nuclear energy – instead of putting the same money toward developing oil and gas refinement capacity to provide for their energy grid.
