(This discussion with Alastair Crooke is definitely packed full of useful insights about Israel's invasion of Iran and the B-2 bombing involvement by the US. Crooke discusses the many layers of deception played by the  US & Israel against Iran. The intent of Israel's invasion of Iran was to collapse their government on the first day, yet that didn't happen. Iran quickly recovered and clearly showed that the Israeli defense was not omnipotent and inflicted major damage on Israel. The damage must really be severe since Israel has imposed a total news blackout about the damage.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provided an excuse for Israel to invade Iran, even though US & EU intelligence didn't believe that Iran was building a nuclear bomb. The IAEA was sharing info with Israel about Iran's uranium enrichment activities, which was illegal. Iran has now taken steps to expel the IAEA and no longer cooperate with them. The IAEA's integrity is now a big concern for Iran, Russia, and China.

Iran was not building a nuclear bomb. It is important to realize that the real objective of the US & Israel was to overthrow the Iranian government and install someone that the US could control. This is a wake up call for Russia & China. Although there appears to be 'peace' for now, this war if far from over. Alastair Crooke does an excellent job of explaining the underlying issues and what is at stake. Be sure to listen to the full analysis. — RAD)
