Truthout has the story The “Possible Military Dimensions” Bomb That Could Blow Up the Iran Deal.

The Obama administration has been under heavy pressure from the Israelis and their supporters in Washington to insist that Iran confess to having carried out nuclear weapons research and development as a condition for sanctions relief.

That pressure is the result of several years of news media coverage that has treated allegations that Iran carried out research and development on nuclear weapons, published by the IAEA in 2011, as established fact. The media have constantly repeated the theme that Iran has been “stonewalling” the IAEA to cover up its past nuclear weapons experiments.

Absent from the media narrative is the fact that the allegations that the IAEA is demanding that Iran explain are all based on intelligence that is now known to have come from Israel and which the IAEA itself suspected of being fabricated, from 2005 to 2009.

Put this together with my previous post NBC’s Conduct in Engel Kidnapping Story is More Troubling than the Brian Williams Scandal, and you no longer have to wonder why I am skeptical about everything I read including the Truthout article.  I might as well be reading the Ripley’s Believe it or Not section of the paper as anything else.  At least Ripley warned you about its stories.
