For the anon asking about the F15s over NY….just caught this on a CT page.
D'OH!!!!!!
Forgive me if this has already been confirmed before!
Operation Merlin was a United States covert operation under the Clinton Administration to provide Iran with a flawed design for a component of a nuclear weapon ostensibly in order to delay the alleged Iranian nuclear weapons program, or to frame Iran.
Iran finds out about deception by the USA and threatens to expose them to the world - that the US supplied nuke designs to Iran.
Timeline:
1) Delivery of the designs to Iran on March 3, 2000.
2) Risen wrote in his book that President Clinton had approved the operation and that the Bush administration later endorsed the plan.
3)Earlier publication of details on Operation Merlin by the New York Times in 2003 was prevented by the intervention of National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice
4) 2013- CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling imprisoned for leaking information to New York Times journalist James Risen.
5)The U.S. announced the controversial nuclear deal with Iran on July 13, 2015. At a news conference on January 16, President Obama […] stated that the U.S. would return $1.7 billion to Iran, as agreed in the negotiations at the Hague
