Growing concerns over Iran’s nuclear facilities may prove to be all for naught. Officials from the global intelligence company Stratfor allegedly discussed that Israel may have already destroyed the Iranian nuclear facility, according to one of the emails released by Wikileaks Monday.
“In one of the over five million emails leaked, the conversation centered on Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak praising the news of deadly munitions blasts at a base of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards.
“I think this is a diversion. The Israelis already destroyed all the Iranian nuclear infrastructure on the ground weeks ago,” one intelligence official wrote in an email dated November 14, 2011. “The current ‘let’s bomb Iran’ campaign was ordered by the EU leaders to divert the public attention from their at home financial problems. It plays also well for the US since Pakistan, Russia and N. Korea are mentioned in the report. ”
One other Stratfor official allegedly indicated a similar finding.
“Israeli commandos in collaboration with Kurd forces destroyed few underground facilities mainly used for the Iranian defense and nuclear research projects,” he wrote on November 13, 2011. “Even if the Israelis have the capabilities and are ready to attack by air, sea and land, there is no need to attack the nuclear program at this point after the commandos destroyed a significant part of it.”
Stratfor released a statement on Mondaycondemning the leaks.
“This is a deplorable, unfortunate – and illegal – breach of privacy,” the company said. “Some of the emails may be forged or altered to include inaccuracies; some may be authentic. We will not validate either.”

lol at this so-called “think-tank”
It sounds like they have some stoned Ron Paul Conspiracy Theory Kook cultists making up their intelligence briefs. ” Yeah man, Iran doesn’t even exist anymore, don’t you get it bro? They are like off the solar system dude.”
I think it is more embarrassing for Stratfor that they are shown to be a bunch of half-baked novelists grasping in the dark in their memos, no different than any everyday American citizen throwing darts or imaginin what is really going on behind the scenes (where they would like people to believe they are actually behind the scenes, not just dreaming up scenarios about it), much more embarrassing than the mere fact that wikileaks hacked them.
