Reply #72: The article talks about Russian assistance

[Julien Sorel]

to Iran's nuclear weapons program; not Iran's nuclear power plant program. I haven't seen any credible evidence that Russia has had anything to do with any Iranian nuclear weapons program.

I will say that I can show you paranoid theories about Iran and nuclear weapons going back several years. The J Post in particular has a habit of posting bogeyman stories about Iraq, Iran, and Syria, in collusion whenever they can, despite the divisions between them. If you throw enough mud against a fence, some of it will stick, but most of it will fly right through. For example, in 1998 the J Post printed an article claiming Iran had bought nuclear weapons from one of the former provinces of the Soviet Union; of course, the story turned out to be BS. It's just business as usual for 'little Israel' as someone put it. The more menacing they make the countries around them look, the more they justify their own behavior.
