(Thread) Honestly, I'm surprised Bibi has had such a successful political career. It's so easy to see through him. He had an audience of one tonight: the man who gets his intel briefing from TV theatrics (@POTUS)
2/ Also, it is clear that if he had a smoking gun, he'd have been able to blow a large hole in Iran's credibility and standing in the world. He could have pushed the @iaeaorg to pursue a few of the clues and come up with hard evidence
3/ But all Bibi wants is to make sure that the 3Ms (@EmmanuelMacron, @theresa_may, and @AngelaMerkeICDU) fail in the attempts to salvage the Iran deal (watch out for our report on Wed)
4/ We knew most of what he already said. In fact it was public knowledge: iaea.org/sites/default/…
5/ It appears to me that what Israel has done is that it has probably hacked the @iaeaorg and gathered some new details from what Iran responded to the agency to close the outstanding issues in 2015: iaea.org/newscenter/new…
6/ But even if for a minute one believes everything that Bibi said, it vindicates the #IranDeal, which has established the most rigorous inspection regime ever implemented. We need the deal to verify Bibi's claims, without it Iran can do whatever it wants
7/ And Bibi is the worst messenger for this. Not only he represent a state that to this day continues to lie (big time) about its nuclear arsenal, but he also has a long history hyping this issue. Also remember this:
8/ And his target is an administration that has not set the bar higher, and has a casual relationship with facts washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…
9/9 So all is all, this is a pretty clear attempt at recycling old info to create new hype and push @realDonaldTrump to pull the plug on the #IranDeal and push Iran and the US into a military conflict to weaken and contain Iran. Read more here: crisisgroup.org/trigger-list/i…
