It was literally just talking points.

I mean, I don't even think it was portrayed as intelligence because this is what the Israelis, they're very good at- Are you fucking serious?

The Israelis are very good at doing this.

The Israelis will come and they will have engagements with our intelligence services, with our diplomats, and they will give information.

And they will say something like, well, this isn't an intelligence channels yet.

Because we, as you know, we formally share intelligence with the Israelis, but that makes its way through our own checks.

And it's not a perfect system, but it's at least a system.

And they'll say, hey, this isn't an intelligence channels yet.

And then we'll go back and we'll check it to see if it's actually an intelligence channels.

And a lot of times it's not.

And that's the way this enrichment talking point.

was really, really spun because they just basically said, no, no, America's policy has always been no enrichment.

And I went back and I looked and people can fact check me.

The only American official who ever said America's policy is zero enrichment was Mike Pompeo in the first Trump administration.

So the Israelis in this Trump administration came and they were basically like, here's President Trump's

It's from his last administration, and he contained Iran.

This is it.

This is the policy.

And they echoed it over and over and over again, whereas all President Trump had said was no nuclear weapon.

And so to short-circuit the agreement, essentially, that the Supreme Leader and Trump had that got them a negotiating table, the Israelis moved the red line by basically having their surrogates, their official government interactions, but then also the media echo that.
