The Iran Nuclear Program thread

[jon-nyc]

Something tells me we’ll be needing this thread over the next few months.

Qatar has opinions.

They also said that an attack on Iranian nukes will contaminate the water supply of the gulf states.

[Mik]

That's an interesting wrinkle.

[jon-nyc]

B-2s.

[89th]

I wonder what that might..........signal?

[Mik]

Willingness to act.

[jon-nyc]

@89th I see what you did there.

Ask Maggie Haberman. I think it’s her turn to monitor the NatSec group chat. Though I hear it’s been moved to Discord.

A sustained effort, not just a hit and run.

A B-2 can fly a mission from Missouri to the Middle East and back non-stop, with in-flight refueling.

If you set up a base in Guam with all those planes, you are probably planning to stick around for a while.

I wouldn't worry about it. We've got bigger fish to fry.

Did Vance say "thank you" or not, while on the Signal call?

[Axtremus]

Should have left the Iran nuclear deal intact.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have privately informed Tehran they won’t allow the U.S. to use their air bases for strikes on Iran.

Privately?

Why?

[jon-nyc]

Best comment: They won’t go after Iran today, everyone would think it’s a joke.

[jon-nyc]

And then there were two.
