Some worry about plausible deniability:
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is concerned over a missing radioactive device from Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactor, Saudi-owned Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported on Thursday. Aside from the security concerns, at the forefront in the GCC’s mind is what impact the radioactive device—wherever it may be today—could have on water supplies. According to the newspaper, the device went missing after the car transporting it was stolen. Thankfully, the vehicle was recovered, but the radioactive nuclear device was not so lucky.
The GCC has contacted the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over the incident—both organizations are concerned that Iran’s nuclear program may pollute the waters in the Gulf, Asharq al-Awsat quoted GCC Emergency Management Center chairman, Adnan al-Tamimi, as saying.
Seems a strange thing to lose. Some worry it has been misplaced to Israel, to get a lick in before the Muslim POTUS leaves the White House while preserving Iran’s plausible deniability.
Of course it could just as easily have been misplaced by Saudi Intelligence somewhere important to drive up the price of oil. The Saudis are having real problems meeting domestic spending to keep their own population pacified, while fighting the rebels in Yemen.
How is Obama’s Iran deal working out?
r/K Selection Theory, because liberals are stringy like chicken but taste like rabbit
Don’t overlook the possibility that it’s been misplaced by> Israel, to embarrass Iran, discredit the Iran deal, and allow an Israeli false flag operation. Steal the device, create a furor. When the furor dies down, have the device discovered in another middle East country, say Jordan or Saudi Arabia, with fingerprints pointing to an Iran allied third party. Israel plays “lets you and him fight” all the time to keep it’s enemies divided.
