Ray McGovern : Is War in Europe Expanding?
"The Iranians are not building a nuclear weapon. Everyone says they have ambitions, but they don't have any ambitions. There's even a fatwa against them building a nuclear weapon. The IAEA, the inspection organization, has never stated, never stated that it possesses evidence showing Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons."
Vladimir Putin directly contradicted US and Israeli justifications for striking Iran, stating categorically that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons and that the IAEA has never found evidence of such a program. McGovern quoted Putin citing the Supreme Leader's fatwa and repeated Iranian public statements. This challenges the core rationale for the Trump-Netanyahu military campaign that began in February 2025.
