The Iranians had announced to the IAEA that we had built a new facility here and we are going to introduce nuclear material into it within six months.

So here's your official notification.

And then a few days later, they just pretended to expose it when it was the Iranians themselves who had admitted to it in June.

in going along with their obligations under their safeguards agreement.

So it's just completely wrong.

Why do they bury them?

They buried them for protection because clearly the Israelis have indicated since the 1990s that they consider any nuclear program in Iran to be the same thing as an advanced nuclear weapons program.

You're hearing that today.

For them to have a nuclear facility at all is equivalent to them going ahead and breaking out and making a nuclear weapon.

And so, of course, they know that they have to have it buried to protect it from Israel.

That doesn't mean that they are trying to get nukes.

It does mean, as I already said, that they wanted to prove to the world that they know how to enrich uranium and that they

have facilities buried deeply enough where if we attack them, that would incentivize them to making nukes.

And then we might be unable to stop them without going all the way toward a regime change, which they're bluffing, basically betting that we won't go that far, considering how gigantic their country is and how mountainous and populous it is compared to Iraq next door.

Now, here's some more things that he said that weren't true.

So he said Iran has been killing Americans all this time.

Well, that's almost always a reference to Beirut 1983, which you can read in the book By Way of Deception by Victor Ostrowski, the former Mossad officer, that the Israelis knew that they were building that truck bomb to bomb the Marines with and withheld that information from the United States and said that's what they get for sticking their big noses in.

And that is in the book By Way of Deception by Victor Ostrowski.

And by the way, the Israelis were friends with them

With Iran at the time in all through the 1980s.
