Three months after US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, new satellite images show signs of construction work at two of its key enrichment facilities.
An analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery captured by Maxar Technologies on 18 September reveals work on a new perimeter and tunnel south of the Natanz enrichment complex.
Multiple construction vehicles are visible in an area south of the complex while digging work appears to be underway. Images also show work to extend a perimeter around that same area.
The Iranians responded to Trump’s threat of more bombing on Monday.
They called the U.S. “a law-breaking country”, and they made it clear that there will be no negotiations…
Iran’s foreign ministry on Monday branded the United States a “law-breaking” country, rejecting any prospect of talks with Washington after US President Donald Trump warned he would again bomb Iran if it resumes nuclear activities.
Trump’s public remarks amounted to an admission of “a criminal and illegal act” that only reinforced America’s image as a violator of international law, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei said during his weekly briefing.
“It will be clear to the international community and to the Iranian nation that the United States is a law-breaking country,” Baghaei added. “We have no plan for negotiations.”
The Iranians have clearly made their choice.
So how long will Trump wait before he pulls the trigger again?
We were surprised by Trump’s timing during the 12 day war, and we may be surprised the next time it happens too.
If we bomb Iran, one of the first places that Iran will hit will be our base in Qatar.
Interestingly, President Trump recently signed an order that makes any attack on Qatar a “threat to the peace and security of the United States”…
President Donald Trump signed an order Monday offering a U.S. guarantee for Qatar’s security — a significant commitment for the rising non-NATO Arab ally.
“The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States,” the order, made public Wednesday, read in no uncertain terms.
“In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures — including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military — to defend the interests of the United States and of the State of Qatar and to restore peace and stability.”
Recently, the U.S. military sent a whole bunch of air tankers to our base in Qatar, and that created quite a stir.
Because the last time we witnessed a deployment of air tankers of this magnitude, Iran got bombed…
Officials in Iran believe that the ceasefire with Israel will collapse and that conflict will resume in the future, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The assessment by the Washington, DC think tank outlined how Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SCNC) had directed military and civilian officials to designate successors in the event of leadership disruption to ensure continuation in the event of war.
If at some point the Iranians are convinced that an Israeli strike is imminent, could they actually choose to strike first in order to get the upper hand?
Israeli politician Avigdor Liberman is convinced that this is the case, and he is urging Israeli citizens to “be careful and close to protected spaces” during Sukkot…
Needless to say, October 7th is a very significant date for Israel.
Two years ago, the war in the Middle East started when Hamas terrorists came pouring across the border.
It looks like the conflict in Gaza may be wrapping up, but things with Iran are a long way from being resolved.
Before Israeli leaders sign a comprehensive Middle East peace agreement, they want the threat that Iran poses to be completely neutralized.
