Iran targeted Diego Garcia with a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile, Israel’s military said Saturday. This refers to missiles with at least two rocket engines, one allowing the missile to reach space, and the other propels it to its target, at a range of up to 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles).

 “These missiles are not intended to strike Israel. Their range extends to the capitals of Europe — Berlin, Paris, and Rome are all within direct threat range,” Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said

But days prior to the war released this:

In the period leading up to Operation Epic Fury Feb. 28, Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed, "We intentionally kept the range of our missiles below 2,000 kilometers so we don’t have that capability. And we don’t want to do that because we do not have hostility against the United States people and all Europeans

The new Baghdad Bob!

Umm, so Iran not only has ICBMs that can read Europe but is/was couple weeks of enough fissile material for one bomb, combined with the fact that have recently killed tens of thousands of their own citizens for protesting and there are those who oppose taking them down?

I was on the fence about this when it started the more I learn the more I think I support it.

If Iran can make Diego Garcia, it can bomb london. It can bomb ramstein. 

This is about to get very interesting.

So you are saying trump lied to you through his **** biscuits the LAST time he launched an unprovoked attack on Iran. 

And if trump lied to you then, why do you now believe him about anything?

I mean, let's face it - he CERTAINLY lied when he promised the immediate and unredacted release of the epstein files. And when he said he was the peace candidate. But you still credit his utterances - as if you were without the capacity to idenify a liar.

It's so easy, even other countries can do it. 

And since it IS so easy, you are well advised to take ANYTHING your own government says with a grain of salt.

That includes the rather unlikely claim that Iran went after Diego Garcia.

The more you learn, the less you should support it. 

Iran's crime is trying to defend itself against 80 years of interventions in its nation state. And it has - until now - imposed a 2000km limit on itself. 

But you should never have been on the fence - or even close to the fence.

We ran homosexual torture dungeons in Iraq. That should require a time out for the love of God. 

We have men and women sharing prison cells in violation of the Geneva Conventions. 

We haven't even got the stink of *** sex out of our barracks yet, and trumpypoo wants to play Sun Tsu's retarded kid brother.

This has never been about Iran. It has always been about China. Just as Syria was about Russia.

Still lazy I see:

Why would the Biden admin lie?Blinken says Iran’s nuclear weapon breakout time is probably down to 1-2 weeksUpdated 8:21 PM EDT, Fri July 19, 2024


CNN — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said that Iran’s breakout time – the amount of time needed to produce enough weapons grade material for a nuclear weapon – “is now probably one or two weeks” as Tehran has continued to develop its nuclear program.The assessment marks the shortest breakout time that US officials have ever referenced and comes as Iran has taken steps in recent months to boost its production of fissile material.“Where we are now is not in a good place,” the top US diplomat said at the Aspen Security Forum Friday.

And Obama said it was 2-3 months in 2015

I see The Five has been busy with the whaddabouts...

1. Did Iran’s nuclear program pose an imminent threat? In a Feb. 28 video announcing that the United States attacked Iran, Trump stated that Iran had “attempted to rebuild their nuclear program” and that the strikes will “ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.” But when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, there was no evidence that Iran was engaged in nuclear activities that would pose an imminent threat to the United States. Neither U.S. President Donald Trump nor Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented any evidence of an ongoing weaponization effort and, in a March 2 press conference, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said “we don’t see a structured program to manufacture nuclear weapons” in Iran. The following day, in an interview with CNN, Grossi was asked if “the Iranians were days or weeks away from building a bomb.” His response was "no." 

Trump also stated that Iran was attempting to rebuild its nuclear program, after the United States and Israel destroyed key nuclear facilities during June strikes (also without evidence of weaponization). Iran has continued activities at nuclear facilities that were unaffected by the June strikes, including the Pickaxe site near the Natanz uranium enrichment complex, which is deeply buried and could, when operational, pose a risk. There are also indications that Iran may be cleaning up or stabilizing some of the nuclear sites that were struck. But there is no evidence to suggest that Iran is resuming proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities, such as uranium enrichment, that would be necessary to produce nuclear material for a bomb.
