1. What's with the B. S.
arne ,   chicago usa   (02.23.15)
Iran can build a bomb in the same time it took ford to build a car (30 minutes).. It's not the bomb that worries Israel it's the technology that they might pass on to Israels foes.Iran, would be stupid to even think of droping or sending even one missle anywhere.Israel on the otherhand if it were backed up to the sea would have no choice but to use everything in their arsenal.
2. The Guardian is on Irans payroll.
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.24.15)
END OF QUOTE.
3. just goes to show nobody sure what iran is doing
(02.24.15)
How many secret facilities and centrifuges does Iran have ? how quickly have they or can they uprate their enrichment without anybody being sure. how honest and open have they been about their nuclear and ballistics programs. How much hard information does Mossad have? Why would they share their best intel with South Africa or other intelligence agencies about what they truly know. A lot of these leaks sound uninformed or false low grade in accurate decoy material.
4. It's all fine on Academic level.In real life we must destroy
(02.24.15)
Iran NOW!
5. The source? Al-Jazeera and South Africa.
Jake   (02.24.15)
Al-Jazeera obtained the documents from leaked South African intelligence made between 2006 and 2014. What does this have to do with the Mossad?
6. Netanyahu is a liar
Me   (02.23.15)
"U.S. intelligence agency officials interviewed by The New York Times in March 2012 said they continued to assess that Iran had not restarted its weaponization program, which the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate said Iran had discontinued in 2003" (wikipedia, NYT "U.S. Faces a Tricky Task in Assessment of Data on Iran", March 17, 2012) "Netanyahu has been warning the world of Iran's "imminent" nuclear threat for more than 20 years. In 1992, Benjamin Netanyahu, then a parliamentarian, warned that Iran was three to five years away from being able to produce a nuclear weapon. He implored that the threat should be, "uprooted by an international front headed by the US". Twenty years later, Netanyahu still calls for action against Tehran, "before it is too late". He claims that Tehran is "running out the clock"." (Asia Times Online, "Rouhani's outlook riles Israeli hardliners", June 26, 2013) "Sarkozy tells Obama Netanyahu is a "liar"" (Reuters, Nov 8, 2011)
7. Politicians lie? Shocker!
Kurtis Engle ,   Centralia   (02.24.15)
In other news, Osama bin Laden did not rig WTC #7 for demolition.
8. Really??
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (02.24.15)
This so-called leak omits the very strong possibility Iran is slow walking on its path to acquire a nuke. This to discredit Bibi and allow negotiations to progress. The negotiations, Iran only knows too well, will yield it a better outcome the longer it can stall them. Iran plays chess while Kerry and obama are still learning how to play checkers.
9. Team Obama
rozie   (02.24.15)
They are at it again. Using all sorts of propaganda to show that PM Netanyahu is wrong. Obama really wants to appease Iran. The Iranians are playing all of us. They religion calls for lies, lies and more lies. The question is what is Obama going to get to make a bad deal with a horrible dictatorship that has the word Islamic in its name. Obama is really set to make deals with enemies of Israel and USA. The worst POUS ever.
10. The Guardian is a well discredited source of factual news
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.24.15)
11. Al Jazeera's report is false
CJK   (02.24.15)
the actual report states that iran was continuing and increasing uranium enrichment both at 5% and at 20% with 10,500 centrifuges installed. the writers of the report are very concerned that iran is making great efforts to activate the IR-40 reactor to produce weapons grade plutonium.(IR-40 reactor=heavy water reactor at arak). iran increased r&d on advanced centrifuges which would allow uranium enrichment threefold. under head of mohsan fakhrizadan of iran agency spnd, r&d continued on nuclear weapons. in this context, a large explosive containment vessel was constructed at parchin in 2000. iaea reports state that iran has refused access to the parchin site. all iaea reports of board of governors make it clear that iran has not provided information on its weaponisation programs and has not abided by its obligations under the additional protocols.

i suggest you read the reports of the iaea.
13. if it's true....
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (02.24.15)
I don't know if the Guardian has seen the documents or only follows rumours. Another question: if it's true, who was talking about or leaking that matter? Former directors of our services (Mossad, Shin Beth,...) are talking too much. Even if they have health problems or are depressive it's against THE principle that once they leave their function, they must avoid public statements, appearances,... I agree with the investigation about the expenses of the premier or the president, but leaking secret documents... for me - or, am I wrong? - it's a heavy, serious crime, for my point of view: high treason! Be brave: do an inquiry about such leaks!
14. And you believe the Guardian
steve from raleigh   (02.24.15)
And you believe the Guardian quoting an unnamed third party source that claims Mossad said so and so?
15. Not Mossad
Brod ,   USA   (02.25.15)
Information garnered from foreign sources that are enemies of Israel. They are not from Mossad. Israel's enemies like to recycle the crap to undermine Israel's government.
