Is concern over Iran’s nuclear program repeating the mistakes that preceded the Iraq War? Nuclear weapons expert David Albright: “Not at all.” “I was engaged in criticizing the Bush administration’s assessments on Iraqi nuclear fantasies… There’s very concrete evidence that while there was nothing to be found with Iraq... show more

A U.S. war with Iran would not be about Iran's nuclear program but rather the interests of Israel. In this clip, Pres. Georg Bush made clear that a war with Iran would be for Israel. It was only after the Israel lobby asked Bush to keep that a secret that politicians began emphasizing the nuclear program.

Listen to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sound almost exactly like George W Bush did in 2002 and 2003, right before we attacked Iraq for having "weapons of mass destruction." History is repeating itself, and Republicans are doing it again. George Bush in 2002: “the Iraqi regime possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons.” GWB in 2003: “Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.” Pete Hegseth Today: “I would just simply say, the President has made it very clear. He has looked at all of the intelligence and all of the information and come to the conclusion that the Iranian nuclear program was a threat.”

U.S. President Trump announces that the United States will meet next week with Iran, but adds that he doesn’t think there needs to be further negotiations or a new nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran, because the the Iranian nuclear program was “destroyed” in this past weekend’s strikes by the U.S. Air Force and that there will be never be another attempt to build nuclear weapons again by Iran.

Joe Kernen of CNBC: What makes Iran different from Iraq is that Iran "almost does have a nuclear bomb at this point, no one was saying that about Iraq at the time." Epic memory-holing. Dick Cheney literally said on March 16, 2003 that Saddam had "reconstituted nuclear weapons"

Kaine: "America was lied into a war in 2002 against Iraq with a Republican administration giving us false information about Iraq's weapons program. I have grave concern that we're going down the same path ... there was no imminent threat to the United States ... it was an offensive war of choice."

Reporter: Netanyahu told Congress in 2002 Iraq was developing nuclear weapons—this was a lie—and wanted regime change in Iran. How can we trust someone who goaded us into war based on lies & how can we be confident he won’t do the same with Iran? Patel: I’m not sure I understand

“This isn’t retaliation for what they did years ago in Iraq or Afghanistan. This is about what Israel wants. This is about nuclear weapons that probably don’t even exist. Tulsi Gabbard testified in front of Congress that there is no evidence that Iran is building any sort of nuclear weapon. The director of the IAEA also said there is absolutely no evidence that Iran possesses or is in the process of possessing a nuclear weapon.” Michael T. Lester

MILLS WARNS IT’S VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO REPEAT THE MISTAKES OF IRAQ. Curt Mills: Iraq had weapons inspectors they found no weapons and there weren’t any. Hardliners need to signal for their own security but don’t actually have the weapons. Iran is under constant surveillance. Israel has 200 plus nuclear weapons all trained on Tehran. We don’t need to make an unforced error here.

Senator Chris Murhpy on Iran's nuclear program: The president has also said over and over again that a goal of the war is to permanently deny Iran the ability to have nuclear weapons. But in our closed-door briefings, we learned that this is not actually a goal of the war plan. It is not a goal of the war to destroy Iran’s nuclear program — which is not surprising, because you cannot destroy Iran’s nuclear program from the air. You cannot destroy knowledge. You cannot hunt down with missiles every Iranian scientist who knows how to build a nuclear reactor. And much of the material is buried so far underground that it is immune to an air campaign. But then why is the president and the Department of Defense telling the American people that the point of the war is to destroy Iran’s nuclear program?

Orthodox prophecies of the saints are saying the same thing that Bill Ryan leaked in 2010 — they are all predicting Nuclear World War III, which will be triggered in the Middle East once Israel strikes Iran’s nuclear program. Bishop Neophytos of Morphou from Cyprus, in 2024, shared this prophecy that he has gathered over the last 20 years. This was before the U.S./Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear program. He says that the “New World Order” will push China and Russia into using nuclear weapons and that the Iran–Israel conflict will be the trigger. They believe we are close to the end-time prophecies.
