The Spin

Iran’s intelligence breakthrough exposes Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program and proves the regime’s vulnerability. The covert operation extracted millions of classified documents revealing 189 nuclear specialists as well as secret military sites, demonstrating Iran’s superior intelligence capabilities against a crumbling adversary.

The so-called documentary aired on Wednesday is nothing more than an Iranian propaganda exercise. After losing the 12-day war against Israel and suffering its own considerable nuclear setbacks, Iran has desperately sought a psychological victory against Israel, knowing it cannot best the Jewish state in open conflict.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 1% chance that Iran will possess a nuclear weapon before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
