TheSunUK – DONALD Trump is preparing to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities as early as next month with America’s allies expected to play a key role, it was reported.

The US president tore an agreement earlier this year designed to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons, claiming the Islamic republic had broken the deal.

Earlier this week, Trump warned Iran it would suffer ‘consequences’ if it threatened the United States.

Sources in the Australian government have told the ABC, the country’s military facilities would play a role identifying targets as would those of Britain.

The UK and Australia are part of the so-called ‘five eyes’ intelligence partnership that also includes Canada and New Zealand, though the latter two would not play a role.

Analysts from the little-known spy agency Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation would also be expected to play a part.

A senior security source told the ABC there was a difference between providing accurate intelligence and analysis on Iran’s facilities and being part of an attack mission.

“Developing a picture is very different to actually participating in a strike,” the source said.


“Providing intelligence and understanding as to what is happening on the ground so that the Government and allied governments are fully informed to make decisions is different to active targeting.”

The Australian Prime Minister said he didn’t believe the US was preparing for a military confrontation.



“President Trump has made his views very clear to the whole world, but this story … has not benefited from any consultation with me, the Foreign Minister, the Defence Minister or the Chief of the Defence Force,” he said.

The UK’s Ministry of Defence declined to comment.



What has Donald Trump tweeted about Iran?

On July 22, Trump has warned Iranian President Hassan Rouhani he will face dire consequences for threatening the United States.

Trump tweeted about the dangers to Iran of making hostile threats after Rouhani made inflammatory comment.

The Iranian president had said: “America must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”

Tweeting in capital letters, furious Trump responded by saying: “NEVER EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKE OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE.”

In response, Rouhani said: “American must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”

What was the Iran nuclear deal?

The deal was an agreement between the Islamic Republic and a group of world powers aimed at scrapping the Middle Eastern country’s nuclear weapons programme.

It saw Iran agree to eliminate its stockpile of medium-enriched uranium by 98 per cent.

According to the deal, Iran would receive relief from the US, European Union, and the United Nations Security Council on all nuclear-related economic sanctions.

The agreement was reached on July 14, 2015, and the world powers signed it in Vienna.

However, on May 8, 2018, President Trump announced the US will withdraw from the agreement – which he has repeatedly called “insane” and ridiculous”.

The America’s withdrawal from the agreement mean crippling economic sanctions will once again be placed on Iran – further heightening tensions between the two countries.

Iran terror story a hoax
"Infowars posted the following BULLSHIT headline: " BREAKING! IRAN CONFIRMS UNLEASHING HEZBOLLAH TERROR CELLS IN US, THREATENS TO ACTIVATE 5TH GENERATION WARFARE"
Only, not.

Here are the only two quotes Iran has made on this topic:

"In a statement read in English after a cabinet meeting yesterday, Mr Rouhani said it was not worth responding directly to Mr Trump's comments.

> He added: "The Iranian nation's steadfastness, unity, integrity and disregarding of their threats and plots and choosing the path of resisting and attempting to foil the enemies' plots are the most powerful response to the cheap remarks of US rulers."

Here is exactly what Iran's General Soleimani said, without the press manipulations inserted to twist what it meant:

"As a soldier, it is my duty to respond to Trump's threats. If he wants to use the language of threat, he should talk to me, not to president Hassan Rouhani. What could you have done against Iran in the past 20 years that you haven't done already? At the end, the victory belonged to the Iranian nation.

You know that this war will destroy all that you possess. You will start this war but we will be the ones to impose its end. Therefore you have to be careful about insulting the Iranian people and the president of our Republic.

You know our power in the region and our capabilities in asymmetric war. We will act and we will work. You know that this war will destroy all that you possess. You will start this war but we will be the ones to impose its end.

Therefore you have to be careful about insulting the Iran people and the president of our Republic. Trump should know that we are nation of martyrdom and that we await him.

My comment:
If they "are awaiting" Trump (in the form of an attack by Trump) he is clearly stating that America has to act first before anything is done. This is clear history for Iran, which has a defense only policy and has not attacked anyone for over 2 centuries. This alone proves there's no terror front about to be released. Iran is far beyond that type of warfare, they'll instead do something real if they do anything at all, like a 2 ton missile warhead through the capitol building. Technically on paper they can't do that yet, but I'd be very surprised if they did not have that via a black op. "terrorists" do not have an arsenal of 100,000 plus ballistic missiles with a range of 2000 plus KM, that's a national level deterrent.

He did say he'd destroy all Trump possessed, and that Iran is good at "asymmetric war" but when put in the context of them "waiting" and Rouhani's comments of "foiling plots", it is clear that Iran intends to at least try to resolve any threats from Trump peacefully. Therefore:

At this time Iran is doing nothing. Everything that provoked comments from Iran was the direct result of Trump running his mouth like Kim Jong. Seriously, that was not good, but no one is perfect so Trump is still my President. I seriously doubt there will be any "Hezbollah terror cells" in the U.S., there's nothing at all mentioned about this in their comments. And one thing is certain - if said cells are released it would only be in response to the U.S. destroying Iran, and in that context, there's no such thing as a terrorist, only soldiers, special forces, etc. You can't expect any nation to take a serious beating and then sit and do nothing afterward, any response would not be "terrorist".
