Fallout from the press conference Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave Monday evening in which he unveiled a treasure trove of intelligence on Iran’s renegade nuclear program continued to surge Wednesday, with Iranian officials reacting with what some commentators described as “hysteria” and some European leaders reluctantly beginning to acknowledge the significance of the revelations. In an interview aired Tuesday evening on US network CNN, Netanyahu said Israel is not looking for a war with Iran, but rather “Iran is the one that’s changing the rules in the region.”

A speech made by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas before the Palestinian National Council in Ramallah on Monday, in which he said that Jewish “social behavior related to interests and banks” had motivated various European populations to massacre them over the centuries, culminating in the Nazi Holocaust during WWII, drew sharp rebukes this week.

Friedman tweeted on Tuesday that Abbas “has reached a new low in attributing the cause of massacres of Jewish people over the years to their “social behavior relating to interest and banks.” To all those who think Israel is the reason that we don’t have peace, think again.”

Israel’s defense ministry announced on Tuesday that a test of the Arrow-3 intercontinental ballistic missile defense system scheduled to take place this week in the US State of Alaska is once again being postponed.

It is quite amazing how certain commentators with a political ax to grind will write anything to justify their pre-determined political viewpoint and, at the same time, get their material published. Today, some call the broadcast of such canards “Fake News.”

Overlaying a schematic included in the Israeli intelligence tranche from the AMAD archive on the Qom, now called Fordow, a deeply buried enrichment plant, we find that the schematic matches the entrances and expected layout. Iran was building this plant at a time when US intelligence agencies were stating that Iran’s nuclear weapons program had ended.
