Won't be the 1st time US Intel got it wrong.

So, explain why all the Uranium Enrichment Centrifuges ?

Also click on the "Nuclear" link for that website.

Also, what about the 15+ years of the IAEA reports showing a steady march in technology purchases focused on building basic small 100+K-ton nukes?

#4 Dollars to doughnuts that multiple nations already have EMP satellites in geosynchronous orbits

If the goal is to permanently eliminate any future reproduction or inhabitation.

Then use a Dirty Nuke with a very long Half-Life of ##,### years.

BTW: the USA has had a number of such scares in the last 30 years.
eg.. José Padilla

#6 It looks like at least parts of Trump 47 are aligned with the woke / anti-western right.

If Israel acts they should expect everything the US knows about such an action will be made known to Russia-Qatar-Iran-NK-China.

In any case the Trump 47 administration's position on Russia in Europe and Russia's allies outside of Europe is self-contradictory and not viable.

US allies outside of Europe should be prepared for a worst case US attempt to sell them out.

#7 Parselspeak. Not building a nuke = producing the necessary parts before the putting-them-together party.

#8 From the people who failed to predict the collapse of the Soviet empire, pick up on 9/11, and have engaged in regime change in our own country. Yeah, right.

#9 US allies outside of Europe should be prepared

JD Vance taunts Greenland in latest attack on European 'freeloaders' and says he will join his wife on controversial visit - but Denmark claims diplomatic win as war of words heats up

Trump team who declared European nations 'pathetic freeloaders' have 'absolutely got a case', UK defence secretary admits

#10 I recall the 2007 Intelligence Estimate when Bush came to power and the IC said the same darn thing, that Iran was not pursuing a path to nuclearization.

#11 "US Intel" told us the bug came from a wet market, and the only cure was Remdesivir.

#12 IC said the same darn thing,

I believe it was in 2003 that they made a really big deal about it, to keep President Bush from going after Iran.
