US Preparing To Bomb Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities As Soon As Next Month: Report

US Preparing To Bomb Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities As Soon As Next Month: Report thumbnail

As the White House convenes a policy meeting on Iran Thursday involving senior Pentagon officials and cabinet advisers under national security adviser John Bolton, and after a week of intense saber-rattling by President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani, a new bombshell report by Australia’s ABC says the White House is drawing up plans to strike Iran’s alleged nuclear facilities as early as next month.

Senior figures in the Australia’s Turnbull government have told the ABC they believe the US is prepared to bomb Iran’s nuclear capability. The bombing could be as early as next month. —ABC report

Crucially, Australia is part of the so-called “Five Eyes” global intelligence partners which includes the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and plays in a key role in hosting top-secret facilities that guide American spy satellites.

According to the breaking report, ABC [Australian Broadcasting Corporation] has learned the following based on statements of key senior defense and intelligence officials:

  • Senior Government figures have told the ABC they believe the Trump administration is prepared to bomb Iran
  • They say Australian defence facilities would likely play a role in identifying possible targets
  • But another senior source, in security, emphasizes there is a difference between providing intelligence and “active targeting”

The report cites high level Aussie government officials who say that secretive Australian defense and intelligence facilities would likely cooperate with the United States and Britain in identifying targets in a strike on Iran.

One particular facility, the Pine Gap joint defense facility in the Northern Territory, would play a significant targeting role in joint US-led strikes on Iran, according to the report, it’s “considered crucial among the so-called ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence partners… for its role in directing American spy satellites.”

And further, other agencies are expected to play a role:

Analysts from the little-known spy agency Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation would also be expected to play a part.

Canada would be unlikely to play a role in any military action in Iran, nor would the smallest Five Eyes security partner New Zealand, sources said.

However, though officials speaking to ABC on condition of anonymity say intelligence plans for targeting suspected Iran nuke sites have begun, Australia’s foreign ministry is still seeking to avoid war through intense diplomatic efforts.

“Australia is urging Iran to be a force for peace and stability in the region,” Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told ABC’s AM program on Thursday.

The report comes after President Trump’s all caps twitter tirade on Sunday which warned Iran to “NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE…”

    Iran doesn’t have nuclear capabilities..The international atomic energy association confirmed they were not building any nukes and were complying with the agreement..Then that fucking evil bastard Nutandyahoo of Israel and Trump lied and said they were (without evidence)..

    Trump is bowing down to the deep state and sucking them off dry now..He is turning into a raging globalist NeoCon of the worst kind..

  2. Bloomer on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 8:51 pm 

    I am not convinced that Iran has nukes or even the ability to make them. We heard these same allegations that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction as a pretext for war. Those allegations were a big lie and Iraq was destroyed along with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as a result of that lie.

    The US and its western allies are guilty of genocide against the people of the Middle East. Their blood and the blood of our own service men and women are on our hands.

    This country is falling apart so fast I can’t believe what I am seeing..

    Retail collapsing, Restaurants collapsing, Auto sales collapsing, Movie sales collapsing, wages flat, record income inequality, record drug deaths, record suicides, record alcohol deaths, record mass shootings, record school shootings, record low babies born, record heat and climate change, record hate groups/crimes, record young people at home, record debts government, student, corporate, consumer, etc..

    MM, I think Trumpet is the weapon of choice by the One Worlders to take down the Us. The “Great Leveling” I talk about. I suggest you read this and give it some thought.

    I would prefer the exceptionalturd stay exactly where he is. In his swamp in missishiti. There is no country for old men, and certainly not for stark raving MAD old yankee men, from fly-over swampland uSa. Hopefully president drumpf gets working on that wall asap to contain all the inmates inside the free-range asylum, otherwise known as the united snakes of amerika.

    The exceptionalturd can stay right where he is, screaming into his cell phone, with his still-to-be-completed outhouse, and his goats. (poor things).

    Greg

    Please stop pushing your prepper cult on me..I am not going to flee to some cabin in the woods and become a prepper..I have argued many reasons for why that is not a logical way out..And even if I did it wouldn’t make your cult anymore reasonable..

  9. GregT on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 10:15 pm 

    MM,

    I’m not the one complaining about the country that I live in falling apart. You are more than welcome to continue to watch that country fall apart all around you if you prefer.

    Just trying to pass on a little friendly advice dude.

  10. Makati1 on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 10:15 pm 

    MM, Didn’t I read that same rant from you yesterday? Memory slipping? Running out of insults?

    You have already prepped. Normal people call it ‘suicide’. BTW: 22 or 12 gauge? I recommend the 12 gauge. You cannot miss. A 22 might just leave you brain dead, but alive.

  11. MASTERMIND on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 10:19 pm 

    Greg

    So I am not allowed to complain about my own country unless I flew to the woods and become a prepper? Okay..

  12. GregT on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 10:30 pm 

    Did I say that you weren’t allowed to complain about the country that you live in falling apart? Which isn’t yours by the way. Who am I to tell you how bad that country has become?

    Most well adjusted people would change their environment when that environment becomes toxic, but you are more than welcome to continue to complain until the goons show up at your door.

    Have you picked your weapon of choice yet MM? It’s always a good idea to be prepared well in advance.

    Practice makes perfect dude.

  13. GregT on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 10:46 pm 

    ” I recommend the 12 gauge. You cannot miss. A 22 might just leave you brain dead, but alive.”

    Agreed. I would recommend double-ought buckshot, but please MM, find a remote location to off yourself. Your friends and family members will likely have enough problems of their own, without having to clean up your mess.

  14. print baby print on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 11:00 pm 

    Iran doesnt have nukes, but they do have know -how, and they have centrifuges , they could have a detonator as well they do have 1000tons of uranium and the most important they have means to delivered it ballistic missile and for Israel two nukes are enough. So everything in position this is it.

  15. MASTERMIND on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 11:00 pm 

    Greg

    You just can’t stop can you? You keep criticizing my exit plan because you want to try elevate yours..You are going to be killed or starve to death..and goons will rape your kids and wife right in front of you..

    Go be a homesteader in a place like Syria and see how long you and your hairy wife last..

  16. Makati1 on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 11:18 pm 

    Mm, there are many places in the world that would be a good place to relocate. You could move to almost any country and marry a citizen there and become a citizen of that country. You want to support your decision to blow your brains out with irrational arguments.

    No one would want to move to Syria, but many of the wealthy ARE moving to New Zealand, and many other better places than the Us. Like the many thousands of Americans moving to the Ps. I guess they are just “cultists” also?

    You are lost, MM. I hope you do not do it in front of your mother. That would be a last slap in her face. Go out in the woods and do it in private. Maybe the scavengers will enjoy what is left of you.

  17. GregT on Thu, 26th Jul 2018 11:41 pm 

    I’m not criticizing your exit plan MM. Again, just trying to be helpful. I have a fair bit of experience with firearms, and I’ve seen firsthand the mess that a gunshot wound to the head leaves behind.

    Unless a runaway greenhouse event is in the not so distant future, I won’t be starving to death anytime soon, and the goons have far more to worry about with my family, then my family has to worry about the goons.

    And MM, I don’t live in Syria, and other than a full head of long hair, my wife isn’t hairy at all, but please don’t let reality get in the way of your usual psychotic paranoid delusions,

  18. duh on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 12:16 am 

    Bigly awesome goodness. Let’s get the party started. The end is queer

  19. GregT on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 12:20 am 

    And MM,

    I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for people like yourself, and I’ve spent a great deal of time in my life doing outreach. I’ve grown rather fond of you MM, in a convoluted and dysfunctional sort of way.

    If you wouldn’t mind doing me a favor; If the Internet is still up and running when you off yourself, please post a suicide note on PO.com. I promise to hang it in a somewhat prominent location to remember you by.

    So Australia volunteers to help the US with the immanent US rape of Iran? And sin against the First Law of Australian elder statesman Malcolm Fraser, namely that the US are poison for Australia’s independence and could cause Australia to end up as a Chinese province:

  25. Cloggie on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 12:57 am 

    Well, well, well, it looks like that the US are about to initiate irreversible geopolitical events with yet another war-of-choice.

    Iran has already announced that in case of an attack, it will halt all shipments from the Gulf. This threat is credible, both in terms of intention as well as means. A single tanker sunk with an old missile will suffice to achieve the intended effect until the war is over. There is nothing the US can do to prevent that.

    And since the US are energy autark within the context of the Americas, this would mean that for the Europeans and Chinese, economic life will virtually come to a stand-still. This will be (correctly) interpreted as an American act of war against European and Chinese interests. Both China and Europe will become entirely dependent on supplies from Russia, that can’t believe its luck, with its economically potent neighbors, who both will harbor hostile feelings against the US for the situation.

    On top of that we have a Brexit process that almost certainly will go hostile and voila, the boundaries of WW3 will have been drawn: Eurasia vs Anglosphere (“Five Eyes”).

    There are always other alternatives MM. You could simply change your location, but please, don’t take that as a personal attack against your decision to stay where you are and simply off yourself.

    You’ve obviously already made your mind up.

  29. MASTERMIND on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 1:08 am 

    Its all an illusion..Iran can just smuggle their oil onto tankers in the middle east…They do it all the time..see the website “tankertrackers.com”..

    Trump is just doing what he is told by his Kosher bosses..He is not fighting the deep state he is bending over and letting them sodomize him..He’ll do anything for money..

    He isn’t, he is fooling everybody. He is intentionally setting up the US for a war that the US is bound to lose. Trump, the last president of European America is not only destroying the US vempire, but the US itself as well, a completely rational act if you are a white nationalist and I think Trump is a closet white nationalist, not a deep state puppet. Just ask Wolf Blitzer.lol.

    It has always been the intention of the US deep state to destroy the ME in order to make it safe for Israel:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RC1Mepk_Sw

    That plan was born in the nineties and gradually implemented.

    But since 2005 Russia and China reacted to these events and begin to organize Eurasian defenses:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Cooperation_Organisation

    But Trump can still use this neocon plan for his own plan. Under the veil of attacking Iran he is building an anti-US counter coalition of Europe, Russia and China.

    The koshers don’t like it at all what Trump is doing:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/25/opinion/trump-bully-allies-nato.html

    He is blowing up the old liberal order, with the West in the lead.

    We are back to square one again..I am not going anywhere.And if society collapses as hard as i think it will..there will be no way to get gas or go anywhere..it will be either starve to death for a week, or kill yourself..Either way i am going to die, so might as well make it quick so i dont have to suffer…

    we both know 911 was a false flag because they knew peak oil was coming..and that is why they created homeland, fema, nsa, ICE..all of these services will be used over the next decade to bring the hammer down on the public..i doubt it will work but i assume the elites feel like they have to try something..

  33. GregT on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 1:20 am 

    MM,

    Then by all means, off yourself. I’m not telling you what to do with your life.

    Please, stop telling me what to do with mine. I will be just fine.

  34. GregT on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 1:23 am

    Hard not to agree with you on that MM, but there is no DHS, FEMA, NSA, ICE here, at all. I live in a completely different reality from what you do.

  35. GregT on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 1:44 am 

    And MM,

    I’ve travelled extensively throughout the US over my lifetime, and always enjoyed it, until recently. My wife and myself will no longer travel to the States unless absolutely necessary. We don’t appreciate being treated like common criminals. The US has now become a police state.

  36. Makati1 on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 1:47 am 

    Hmmm. There are none of those alphabet agencies here in the Ps either. I’m sure that they do nor exist in most of the world outside the Us and, maybe, the UK. But if a person is not willing to relocate to stay alive, (s)he is not very intelligent.

    I prefer life to death. Ergo*, here I am in the Ps building a new life. A better one than I could ever have in the Us. A place where freedom is still a reality, not a fiction as in the Us.

    *A Latin word meaning “therefore”

  37. Makati1 on Fri, 27th Jul 2018 1:53 am 

    GregT. I too hate to travel to the Us. I once bid on construction work in a Us prison. The security procedures to get in an out of the prison was easy compared to visiting the Us from outside.

    My future Us visits will be counted on one hand. I don’t want to be there when the cell door clangs shut and it is impossible to leave. That day is coming.

    Obomba struck a very smart deal with Iran. The problem with Iran is not whether or not they can get nukes. Afterall let’s admit it, everybody’s got em. Germany could squirt out a few nukes tomorrow if it wanted. The idea that the US could defeat Iran in a military conflict is as laughable as it is ridiculous (we are not talking religo-ethnic division here). So what is it? WHY is trump going to strike Iran? Imho its nothing to do with Israel (outside of hizbollah) and everything to do with Saudi Arabia. Consider if you that the Persian gulf is worlds central oil hub, the global gas station. Qatar and Iran have to biggest almost untapped reserve of natural gas on earth……

    Iran have a RIGHT to develop civilian nuclear facilities, they are signatories of the Non Proliferation Treaty. Nobody in the UN has suggested for a second they have violated this Pact. Then again international law means nothing in the age of collapse.

    Eurasia vs Anglosphere, its coming.

    Iran + Brexit could become the initiation point and DJT could be initiating it on purpose.

    When the Gulf area is on fire, both Europe and China only have Russia left as a (limited) source of fuel. The three of them could be pushed to create a new multi-polar world order and become the carrying pillars of that order, just like the US was the sole carrying pillar of the original uni-polar NWO. Eurasia, that is 2 billion IQ100 people. The US that is 330 million IQ100 people (I’m benign here). You feel it coming?

    Officially Europe, Russia and China are all three of the multi-polar mold. America loves to think it can have it all for itself, and hence the rationale behind the MIC.

    They can’t.

    And WW3 is going to prove that.

    It has to be said. Threatening ‘conventional’ weapons use to destroy any nuclear facility
    in the world is a de facto nuclear attack.
    Any such attack warrants in-kind response.

    Translated; Deep Down We all Knew Trump, if permitted, would eventually kill-us-all.

    The difference, Fundamentalist Christians, Jews, Muslims etc will simply call it ‘God’s will’.

    One hour ago:

    (Trump marshaling his ‘troops’)

    President Trump warned on Sunday that he would be willing to “shut down” the government over border security.

    “I would be willing to ‘shut down’ government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT!” he said in a morning tweet.

    “We need great people coming into our Country!” he added.

    The president in an earlier tweet on Sunday morning said “many” border crossers are using children for “sinister purposes.” He also blasted existing U.S. immigration laws and urged followers to vote for Republicans.

    “Please understand, there are consequences when people cross our Border illegally, whether they have children or not – and many are just using children for their own sinister purposes. Congress must act on fixing the DUMBEST & WORST immigration laws anywhere in the world! Vote ‘R,’ ” he said.

    The tweets come amid backlash to the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which led to the separation of thousands of migrant children from their parents at the southern border.
    A court had ordered the government to reunite the families by last Thursday, but hundreds of children remain apart from their parents.

    A Department of Homeland Security spokesman said “good faith” efforts to reunite all families will continue.

    The president has frequently criticized U.S. immigration laws as he cracks down on illegal immigration and called on Congress to act.

    Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), the chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, said after the president’s tweet that he doesn’t think “we’re going to shut down the government. “

    “I think we’re going to make sure we keep the government open, but we’re going to get better policies on immigration,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.” “ The president – wants us to have policies that work for America and work for Americans, and I think that’s what we are going to move forward with.”

    Oh, if Iran or Saudi Arabia want nukes, they could just trade for oil to Pakistan or North Korea.
    Any one who believes they haven’t already is fooling themselves.

    Relax. Nukes are so early 20th century. Destroying
    the World’s oil would be akin to humanity suicide.

    More to the point; taking out infrastructure using
    cyber attacks. A few key strokes and this board and every FANG stock in the world goes as dark as North Korea. Every phone, TV, computer, useless. Bottom line, Trump wins again.
