Excellent reporting Gerald. Putting together pieces of this jigsaw puzzle a nuclear armed Iran is the last thing any normal state would ever want. Their aim was to also to clearly bide their time stalling like they have in past negotiations. According to an interview with Mark Levin and Steve Witkoff after three negotiating sessions, they reported back to Trump that the Iranians are lying to us. There are deceptions all over the place. The Iranian team said they didn’t have authority - the negotiators didn't have the flexibility or delegated responsibility to make decisions on the spot. They were hiding the ball. They wouldn't give our team a written agreement that they could share with the president of the United States, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, and our nuclear experts. Their position has never changed. They had an inalienable right, they told him, to their large stockpile of enriched material and would not give it up at the negotiating table what the Americans did not win in the 12-day war last June. So from the outset, the Iranians asserted that uranium enrichment was Iran's right, and they declared their large stockpile of enriched material was off the negotiating table. Now look at all the drone and ballistic missile attacks at Iran has launched against its neighbors. Sorry not sorry they are saying about that. Now imagine their coercion and willingness to use nuclear weapons. They love death more than life.
Israel has nukes. Israel didn’t sign the NPT. But that’s OK cause we are the good guys and the rest are just savages. Clearly the former empire failed to do what they always think as their contribution to the world:bringing civilization to the rest of the world. And the current empire had taken over that role.

Empires do what empires do: subjugate the world for their own benefit. Follow the money
Outstanding reporting Gerald.

Quite a scoop indeed. Terrific reporting and writing.
I keep thinking of A. Q. Khan and the nuclear marketplace we heard about in the 1990s. I assume that's still a thing.
A Seymour Hersh like revelation.
Has anyone else picked up on this ?
