The United States warned on Thursday, April 10, against an Iranian misstep after a senior aide to the country’s supreme leader threatened to expel UN nuclear inspectors ahead of weekend talks with the United States. “The threat of that kind of action, of course, is inconsistent with Iran’s claims of a peaceful nuclear program,” State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters. “Also, expelling IAEA inspectors from Iran would be an escalation and a miscalculation on Iran’s part.”

Honestly, at this point I trust the Ayatollah with nukes a lot more than I do the US president.

Sadly, I must agree. Trump is an unpredictable, unreliable wild card. I don’t think he has enough humanity in him to care about how devastating a nuclear war would be. To him, they’re just brown people on the other side of the world, so whatever happens, happens.

I expect them to use nuclear weapons in a strike against Iran’s nuclear program. Iran’s enrichment facilities are buried so deep in the hearts of mountains that it’s probably the only way they could actually take it out. And they’ll probably drop a few on Iranian military installations that happen to be right next to or within major cities as well. 80 years of respecting the nuclear taboo, shattered because of one fool’s pride. See nuclear bunker buster.

Ok, but what’s going on with the nuclear inspections of the zio regime? How come we never hear about it? That’s like the whole reason that Iran wants nukes but somehow imperial news NEVER talks about it. Just nonstop anti-iran propaganda.
