A Miscalculation by Iran Led to Israeli Strikes’ Extensive Toll, Officials Say
14th June 2025
The New York Times, the Narative Paper of Record.
Iran’s senior leaders had been planning for more than a week for an Israeli attack should nuclear talks with the United States fail. But they made one enormous miscalculation.
They never expected Israel to strike before another round of talks that had been scheduled for this coming Sunday in Oman, officials close to Iran’s leadership said on Friday. They dismissed reports that an attack was imminent as Israeli propaganda meant to pressure Iran to make concessions on its nuclear program in those talks.
Perhaps because of that complacency, precautions that had been planned were ignored, the officials said.
It’s pretty obvious that Iran had no intention of working toward peace, but rather (a) making nuclear weapons and (b) using those weapons on Israel.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
