Ex-Mossad Chief Credits Trump for 'Obliterating' Iran, Forgets Iran Not Obliterated
Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, architect of the 2018 raid on Iran's nuclear archives, tells Fox News that Iran's atomic sites are 'obliterated' and credits former President Trump. This bold declaration comes despite IAEA reports confirming Iran continues to enrich uranium, just at varying levels. It also overlooks the crucial detail that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), which Trump exited,
actually held Iran to much stricter limits. One might question the definition of 'obliterated' when the target is still actively enriching. This rhetoric, often amplified by certain media outlets, mirrors the ceaseless calls for military action against Iran that have been a staple of hawkish foreign policy circles for decades, often spearheaded by groups like AIPAC. For context, Senator Ben Cardin
(D-MD), a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a consistent advocate for a hardline stance against Iran, reported over $540,000 in career donations from pro-Israel groups, according to OpenSecrets.org. When a former spy chief declares a full victory (that isn't actually a victory) and credits a specific US president, it conveniently paves the way for continued geopolitical
aggression and sanctions that benefit arms manufacturers, not regional stability.
