Don’t be fooled by the Jew-hating Iran apologists

That’s rich

Following the new recently, I have been more than slightly dismayed by the number of supposed ‘reporters’ and supposed ‘experts’ who have claimed that the Israeli attack on Iran was unprovoked. The (IMHO) lying, propagandist, anti-western scum at Channel 4 News have been particularly vociferous in their condemnation of Israel. The basis for criticising the Israeli action seems to be the claim that there is no proof that Iran was developing nuclear weapons and that Iran’s nuclear research was only intended for peaceful civil power generation.

So, let’s lay out some very simple facts:

Fact 1: For most civil nuclear power reactors, the uranium fuel needs to be enriched to 3-5% U-235. This enriched uranium is used in light water reactors, which are the most common type of nuclear power reactor. Natural uranium contains only about 0.7% of the fissile isotope U-235, and the enrichment process increases this concentration to the level needed for a controlled nuclear reaction. 

Fact 2: You only need uranium to be enriched to about 3% to 5% for power plants, while you need above 90% for nuclear weapons

Fact 3: Iran had hundreds of centrifuges enriching uranium to over 60%

That poses some questions:

• If Iran was only enriching uranium for peaceful purposes, why did the country need to enrich the uranium above 60%?
• why did Iran hide much of its enrichment activity deep under a mountain where it would be protected from attack?

What the mainstream media has missed?

There are a few other Iran-linked issues I believe the mainstream media has missed:

• Army vs IRGC – I suspect that officers in the regular Iranian army absolutely loathe the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and that the feeling is mutual
• Army contacts with Shah’s son – I suspect that some senior Iranian army officers have already been in contact with the Shah’s son and have pledged allegiance to him in the event of a coup against the mad mullahs. If the mad mullahs’ regime is to be overthrown, it will not be through street protests as the useless mainstream media thinks will be necessary, but by the Iranian army moving against the IRGC
• An Entebbe-style raid – while all the ‘experts’ in the mainstream media witter on about America’s bunker-busting bombs being the only way that Iran’s Fordow site can be destroyed, I suspect that the Israelis have long been planning and practising an Entebbe-style raid to put troops on the ground to destroy the Fordow site

Of course, the Iran apologists and the assorted witterers in the mainstream media may be right and I may be wrong. But we’ll soon see.
