It was an excellent idea to shut down the patty-cake with Iran

Those documents that Mossad pilfered from an Iranian warehouse last January have been gone over and senior Israeli intelligence officials have briefed the world on their contents and implications.

They show that the West's mortal enemy never intended to abide by either the spirit or the letter of teh JCPOA:

There are some cherished myths held by pro-Iran nuclear deal partisans that appear to have been exposed. First, the notion that Iran had "suspended" its nuclear program in 2009 has surely been debunked. Second, the notion that no foreign country would offer Iran help in building a bomb is clearly not true. In this case, it is almost certainly North Korean engineers and techs helping Tehran with their nuclear program.

Third, the idea that Iran couldn't hide any major nuclear-related facilities from western intelligence or UN inspectors is a joke. Taken together, the wishful thinking -- or deliberate self-delusion -- of the Obama administration about Tehran's nuclear program makes the deal look even worse.

So what did the courageous Mossad agents find?

Iranian nuclear scientists, two of whom later were assassinated under mysterious circumstances, are quoted in one document discussing the need to distinguish between “overt” nuclear research activities, which could continue because they could be shown to have peaceful purposes, and “covert” activities that had to be hidden because they could only be attributed to a nuclear-weapons program.

A series of other documents and photos purportedly involve one particularly sensitive Iranian facility, within a military complex known as Parchin, which the IAEA long suspected housed a firing chamber used to test explosives that could be used to ignite a nuclear explosion.

When the IAEA finally gained access to the facility in 2015, it found no such chamber, but said extensive demolition and refurbishing of the site had seriously undermined the agency’s ability to determine whether such a chamber had been there.

The new materials include more than a dozen photographs of what Israeli intelligence officials said was the explosives chamber at Parchin, as well as reports on experiments conducted there.

Obama made a big deal about the nuclear deal forcing Iran to accept inspections at Parchin. It had long been thought that Parchin was a major center for nuclear research made off limits to international inspectors because Iran claimed national security. The "inspection" included the Iranians themselves presenting IAEA inspectors with soil samples "proving" Parchin was not a nuclear site.

Now, if the Very Stable Genius can be persuaded to drop this absurd dance he's doing with Kim . . .
