(The New American)—The United States is close to getting embroiled in a full-on, offensive war against Iran — possibly over a nonexistent threat.
The Pentagon has been moving carrier strike groups into the Middle East, and President Donald Trump has been considering offensive military attacks on Iran. But recent news reports suggest that before Israel launched its attack on Iran last Thursday, U.S. intelligence didn’t believe the Islamic autocracy was close to building nuclear weapons.
When the Israelis told American intel officials that Tehran “was conducting renewed research useful for a nuclear weapon,” the Americans “weren’t convinced that the information pointed to a decision by Tehran to build a bomb,” according to a Wall Street Journal article published Tuesday.
The Israelis presented information about “a multi-point initiation system” and Iranian work on “neutron particles to generate a chain reaction — a critical part of nuclear fission — as well as on plastic explosives and on integration of fissile material in an explosive device,” according to the report. But the Americans, despite agreeing that Iran has made some progress in developing nuclear weapons, believed the intel “only showed Iran was still researching nuclear weapons, including revisiting work it had done before its nuclear weapons program shut down in 2003.” Moreover, “the consensus view among U.S. intelligence agencies is that Iran hasn’t made a decision to move forward on building a bomb.”
U.S. Intel
The Journal report is based on conversations with senior intel officials, another U.S. official, and two congressional staffers familiar with the conversations. It corroborates a major point in the annual threat assessment that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard delivered to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 26. “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003,” the assessment said.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
