Four-star general reveals Iran's Ayatollah isn't cutting peace deal as Trump's countdown begins

Iran isn't cutting a US-brokered peace deal with Israel because its leaders are confident they can rebuild its nuclear program even if it's wiped out, a retired general says.

General Jack Keane, the former Vice Chief of Staff to the US Army, told Fox News that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei believes the country will be able to restart its hydrogen bomb with relative ease after the ongoing conflict with Israel ends.

The US has not joined the conflict. President Trump says he'll decide whether to do so in the next two weeks, after urging Iran to halt its nuclear bomb building. 

'The nuclear enterprise is vast, and it is resilient,' Keane told Fox News. '(There are) multiple sites, centrifuges, so you can spin up enriched uranium.

'They did that to survive.'

Keane said the Ayatollah has 'never made a deal' because 'he has built an enterprise to survive an attack' that he believes is strong enough to withstand airstrikes even if President Trump decides to join the conflict.

'He believes they can absorb an attack, survive it, recover from it, and then rebuild. That is where this guy is,' he said.

'I don't see him, in the near term, making a deal here whatsoever.'

Therein of course lies the problem, Iran is never going to be contained nor restrained and will continue on building their nuclear arsenal.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, of course... that's the logical progression of nuclear weapons fabrication.

But... the iranians haven't yet mastered even the more basic techniques of building a U-238 "shotgun" bomb (such as the "Little Boy" weapon used on Hiroshima).

If they had a working example, they'd have either used it (on us or on Israel), or at least detonated one as a "public display before the world" (to demonstrate that they were now a fully-fledged "nuclear power").
