The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare from Harper's Magazine
Gareth Porter on the true history of Iran’s nuclear program. "Are you saying that the claim of secret work on nuclear weapons is equally fraudulent, and that the Iranians have never had a nuclear-weapons program? Yes. In Manufactured Crisis, I show that the claim of an Iranian nuclear-weapons program has been based on false history and falsified records. ... According to the worst-case scenarios conjured up by conservative U.S. think tanks and others promoting the myth, Iran has had the same theoretical capacity for breakout — a month or two — since 2010."
Regular readers know that I have been VERY skeptical of the real threat the Iran nuclear program has posed to the US or anyone else. This author really puts the entire "bomb bomb bomb Iran" crowd on the spot. We'll see if this book holds up under what promises to be a LOT of challenge.
