Wanted Israeli war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed – again – that Iran is within ‘six months’ of having intercontinental ballistic atomic missiles that, with just a minor tweak, could strike cities on the US east coast.

Netanyahu: Iran, Iran, Iran

Speaking to pro-Israel mouthpiece Ben Shapiro, Netanyahu said that Washington, New York, Boston, even Trump’s Mar a Lago playground, would be within reach of these missiles – well, as long as they added another 3,000km to their supposed 8,000km range:

Netanyahu omitted to mention that the US already has nuclear missiles that could erase Iran if Iran tried to hold any US cities under its ‘atomic gun’, but then he would. He’s been making the claim that Iran is ‘this close’ to atomic weapons for more than three decades – every time he wants the US and its allies to attack Iran.

He first made the claim in 1992, then in 1995, then 1996, then again every two or three years – every time he sets his sights on having his US backers do his dirty work for him, as this handy summary by Riverwand shows:

US military and intelligence experts say not only that Iran is not ‘close’ to having atomic weapons, but that it is not even trying to develop them. Which is an astonishing illustration of restraint, really. With a warmongering, war criminal land-thief like Netanyahu and his fellow fanatics in your neighbourhood – who have repeatedly bombed you, assassinated your people and whipped up war against you, why wouldn’t you?
