"Does Iran Have Nuclear Warheads?  Part 2"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
There was a 'rumor' out last week about Iran having nuclear weapons.
 
Ron Reese had a letter on this.  (I sent in a Doves letter last week - but it missed getting posted.  Hopefully, it will make it in this week's letters. :))
 
IF Iran has nukes, which I believe they do, is actually reported as true...this will change everything!  President Trump and PM Netanyahu have based their treatment of Iran and negotiations with Iran on 'keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon'.  Wouldn't that be a kicker if they already had nuclear weapons!  Remember the big surprise to our nuclear weapons experts when India, followed shortly by Pakistan, announced they were nuclear!  Big black eye for the U.S./Israeli nuclear agencies!!  They totally missed India and Pakistan's nuclear work.  So it wouldn't be a surprise if THEY missed Iran's!
 
In this letter, I included an interview from May, 2026, with Ret. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence Officer and U.N. Weapons Inspector and  an interview on Redacted  with Larry Johnson - former CIA analyst (along with Pepe Escobar) that broke the nuclear Iran story last week.  (I took notes if you'd prefer a quick read instead of watching the interviews.)
 
And I included an article co-authored by Theodore Postol, Professor of Nuclear Science and International Security at MIT.  The man Wilkerson refers to in his interview.  Postol co-authored an article about what an attack on a city would look like.  He used the example of Midtown Manhattan.  Very sobering.  That article is from 2015.
 
Add that to the odd events that occurred in Manhattan recently - Queens and Brooklyn.  With men entering the manhole covers into the sewers at night.  No one knows why or what they were doing.  They were in there for several hours.  Sleeper cells?  Planting bombs?  An attack on 250th Anniversary, July 4?  Looking for jewelry?  Interesting this happened in Manhattan. Which some believe is Mystery Babylon.  A nuclear weapon could weigh 50 to 100 pounds - it could be contained in a suitcase or a backpack.
 
 
Ret. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson Interview: 
 
Wilkerson said that Iran is probably getting ready to conduct a nuclear test. It's about 60% assured.  We knew it was going to happen.  We knew once the Ayatollah was killed, this probably changed Iran's stance on nuclear weapons.
 
He was asked if he corroborated what Larry Johnson and Pepe Escobar said -- that Iran does have a nuclear weapon.  "Not just that, Prof Emeritus at MIT, Ted Postol  (physicist) and I have been talking about this for a long time.  And I agree with him."  Wilkerson did the negotiations with North Korea years ago - at this meeting NK said to 'put your economic package away, we already have nuclear weapons."  Six to twelve of them.  "Boy what a shock that was!..."  That's how quickly they got them.  And we thought they were still months to a year or two away."
 
Ted's theory is Iran has something deep underground - unknown to any intelligence service except possibly China and Russia.  They had all the ingredients there and have done that now.  Ted said this is a 60 - 80% probability that they have gone nuclear.
 
Wilkerson said U.S. nuclear missile submarines are all over the world - and usually there is one in the Middle East - the best spots on Earth for subs are the North Arabian Sea and Sea of Oman - salinity of water, temperatures, opacity, almost negate passive and active sonar.  He said the North Arabian Sea is probably full of subs, particularly Chinese diesel subs which are trailing our aircraft carriers and are ready to shoot if they have too -  its mostly intelligence gathering.  There are subs everywhere...this weapons system maintains virtual invulnerability.  This is one of the closest guarded secrets in American military -  where our both attack and ballistic subs are.
 
Subs can get within torpedo range of carriers - carriers are passe' - not needed any more; 5,000 Americans will die when it's proven they are absolute.  Yet, we keep making these.
 
They also talked about Albania - next to NK and Ukraine - it's the number one criminal state on the face of the Earth.  And Jared Kushner has fallen into that den of thieves.   Wilkerson called him a reprehensible human being.

Iran May Already Have a Nuclear Bomb – Israel Is Now a Strategic Liability | Lawrence Wilkerson - YouTube

Then Clayton on Redacted You Tube channel asked, "Does Iran already have a nuclear weapon?"  Multiple sources are reporting that Iran has multiple bombs or the parts to quickly build multiple bombs.
 
Scott Ritter had said Iran had already enriched uranium beyond 60%.  Clayton said his sources said Iran had over 80% enriched uranium. Then President Trump said 'we needed to collect Iran's nuclear dust'.  This was odd.  Then Iran told the Americans that 'nuclear' is not a part of the discussions any more.  Possibly meaning - like with North Korea - 'we are already nuclear'.  "Take it off the table, that ship has sailed." 
 
According to Clayton's sources, Iran had enough enriched uranium for 8 - 12 nuclear weapons.  Last week, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said the US intelligence community believes Iran already has a nuclear weapon, possibly multiple weapons.  And last week Netanyahu fired the head of Mossad.  And the new head of Mossad fired his deputy.  Was this an intelligence failure and that's why heads rolled?  
 
Larry Johnson and Pepe Escobar worked on this report together.  He doesn't know how Israel missed this.  Johnson and Escobar have a senior level advisor in Pakistan.  They were told that the Iranian Supreme Security Council were livid with attacks of the U.S. on Iranian naval small boats and a communication center, plus other attacks.  The President of Iran was told to call Pakistan Prime Minister - Pakistan was to tell the U.S. all talks are off until blockade is lifted and no more attacks on Lebanon.  And no talks on Iranian nuclear program - no talks on nuclear devices, no talks on enriched uranium.  And if attacks don't stop, Iran will detonate a nuke so everyone will know Iran has nuclear weapons.  SOS Rubio was contacted.  
 
He believes this conversation was intercepted by the National Security Agency.  And this was verified by Robert Barns, a Trump lawyer, through his contacts in the White House.    This doesn't prove that Iran has a nuke, but President Trump has completely changed in his approach to Iran now.  
 
Clayton noted, this changes the world - and he believes this news is true.  And his sources say Iran has enough nuclear material for 8 - 12 nuclear warheads.  Are they assembled?  Are they ready to go?  He heard that the mechanisms came from Russia.  Larry said he was told this four days ago.  Russia and China are helping Iran. There is a lot of things going on behind the scenes.
 
Johnson thinks they have three nuclear warheads ready to go.  Pakistan thinks that Iran and President Trump will  meet in Islamabad within a month.

What Would A Nuclear Attack on A City Look Like?:
 
Theodore Postol co-authored this article on "What would happen if an 800-kiloton nuclear warhead detonated above midtown Manhattan?".  This was published in February, 20215.
 
This is a very sobering look at nuclear destruction of a city:
 
Russia has about 1,000 strategic nuclear warheads that can hit the US less than 30 minutes after launching...some 700 of these are rated 800 kilotons - the explosive power of 800,000 tons of TNT.
 
'The warhead would probably be detonated about a mile above the city.  After detonation, the center of the warhead would reach a temperature of 200 million degrees Fahrenheit - 4 to 5 times the temperature at the center of the sun.  This would happen with in millionths of a second are detonation.  This ball of fire would expand outward at millions of miles per hour.  Creating a vast and powerful shockwave.  After one second - the fireball would be roughly a mile in diameter.  Fires would instantly ignite over about 100 square miles.  These fires would force gigantic masses of heated air to rise creating massive winds.  Individual fires would join together into one massive fire.'  "The energy released by this mass fire would be 15 to 50 times greater than the energy produced by the nuclear detonation."
 
The massive firestorm would move air at speeds of 300 mph - "these superheated ground winds of more than hurricane force would further intensify the fire.  At the edge of the fire zone, the winds would be powerful enough to uproot trees three feet in diameter and suck people from outside the fire into it."
 
'Inrushing winds would drive the flames horizontally along the ground - causing the fire to jump hundreds of feet swallowing anything not already violently combusting.'
 
This would produce a massive hurricane of fire.
 
With Midtown Manhattan as ground zero, the fireball would vaporize structures and the blast wave would crush heavily built concrete structures with in a couple of miles.  Asphalt would melt, paint on walls would burn off, metal surfaces would melt within half a second of detonation.  Then 750 mph winds would flatten buildings.  Everything would explode into flames.  At a mile from ground zero, the fireball would shine 10,000 times brighter than the sun.  All combustible materials would burst into flame.  Grass, vegetation, leaves would explode into superheated dust.  Four seconds later the blast wave would arrive.  All structures would be crushed.  Winds would be 400 - 500 mph that would last for seconds.
 
Two miles to two and a half miles from ground zero, thermal radiation would melt aluminum, tires would ignite, exposed skin would be turned to charcoal...then the blast wave would rip apart buildings.
 
Three to nine miles from ground zero fires would start becoming a single mass fire.  Clothes would burst into flames or melt, uncovered skin would be charred with third to fourth degree burns.  The blast wave would arrive in 12 to 14 seconds with winds of 200 to 300 mph.  Fires would rage within five miles of ground zero.
 
"Within tens of minutes, everything within approximately five to seven miles of Midtown Manhattan would be engulfed by a gigantic firestorm.  The fire zone would cover a total area of 90 to 152 square miles.  The firestorm would rage for three to six hours.  Air temperatures in the fire zone would likely average 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit."
 
Street pavement would be too hot to drive on for days.  "Buried, unburned material from collapsed buildings throughout the fire zone could burst into flames when exposed to air - months after the firestorm has ended."
 
Those who tried to escape on the streets would have been incinerated by the hurricane force winds full of flames.  And those in basements, underground shelters would likely suffocate from gases or be cooked alive.
 
"The fire would extinguish all life and destroy almost everything else.  Tens of miles downwind of the area of immediate destruction, radioactive fallout would begin to arrive with a few hours of the detonation."

Recent News in the Middle East:
 
Amir Tsarfati announced that Netanyahu informed Trump of Israel's intent to launch a massive attack on Iran.  And Trump said he would not participate.
 
Israel hit southern Beirut, Lebanon this AM, June 7.  Iran retaliated with a massive barrage of ballistic missiles on Israel - several waves of ballistic missiles. The IDF will respond to this attack.
 
President Trump keeps talking about a 'great deal' with Iran.  He seems to not know he's dealing with Twelvers - Twelvers that may have nuclear weapons.
 
 
Something is going to give.  Somebody is going to run out of patience.  Somebody is going to go nuclear. The 250th Anniversary of the U.S. is coming up on July 4.  This would be a huge target day for America's enemies.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
