SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: The U.S. IC assessed that Iran was not seeking a nuclear weapon, yet unverified information from pro-Israel groups dominated the intelligence reaching POTUS in the lead-up to the war.

The White House posting a graphic from the pro-Israel think tank, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), illustrates just how influential the pro-Israel lobby is within the Trump administration.

The U.S. IC assessed that Iran was not seeking a nuclear weapon, yet unverified information from pro-Israel groups dominated the intelligence reaching POTUS in the lead-up to the war.

The tragic part is that the successful Iran policy Trump enacted in his first term—and was enacting this time around—was working, and he was on his way to securing a much better deal than the JCPOA.

This was a threat to Israel’s goal of getting the U.S. to provide the combat power for regime change in Iran. Groups like FDD, members of the media, donors, and key Israeli officials played a key role in convincing Trump that his policy should shift to zero enrichment and that the Iranian regime would quickly crumble if he struck now.

Hopefully, POTUS will look at the results of the advice he has received from FDD and the Israel-first/neocon lobby and correct course.

You are a complete moron, Pete.

First, Obama's "agreement" basically gave Iran unlimited cash to harden their terror proxy network and stockpile ballistic missiles while simply delaying the inevitable — large-scale LEGAL enrichment with zero breakout time and the military power  x.com/peterbakernyt/…
