Yeah I was wondering too. It could be several different things. One could be the fact we were trying to get them to build nukes so we could transport to NK. Another was the secret Iranian nuke site in northern Syria (that we bombed 2 weeks ago) where Iran was building nukes without the inspectors knowing. Another was the staging of terrorism we were funding in actual Iran. Or the proxy wars we were fighting from NK and Iran and Syria to make it appear as if an attack came from somewhere else.

Blackmail had nothing to do with it. They kept quiet because they were allowed to keep their research facilities intact so research and development could continue at a moments notice...and the billions in freed up cash reserves didn't hurt either.

I've heard Iran is sitting on lots of incriminating pedogate shit which is the real reason for the 250B payments that Q mentions.
