Israel’s attacks on Iran changed everything — or did they? @MarkTFitz @IISS_org

آژانس بینالمللی انرژی اتمی: ایران میتواند ظرف چند ماه غنیسازی اورانیوم را از سر بگیرد. آیا ایران هنوز یک تهدید هستهای است؟

In dark moments like these, I am reminded of Mike Elleman, a colleague at @IISS_org who passed away way too soon.
Mike was the greatest missile expert, and he taught me (a complete amateur in defence matters) a lot about missiles, missile defence and UAVs. Mike was much more than this, a nice man with the biggest heart ever. He would be studying tonight's attacks with "a cool head and a warm heart", able to analyse and explain complex technical matters in simple ways all while remembering the people suffering in the war. We miss you, Mike.

I've tried to keep an open mind about this story but this rebuttal and the others I've read are far far more persuasive the accusations themselves.
As @CrisisGroup's head of MENA, I have a pretty good understanding of what we publish, how we conduct research and how our findings are received, including on the Iran file.
This @nytopinion piece by Bret Stephens is shamefully inaccurate: 1/

I don’t focus much on Iran in my work but Dina was a colleague when I worked at the IISS in London. The attacks against her are ridiculous. She’s a great analyst. Disagreeing with her conclusions or recommendations is fine. Questioning her integrity or spreading falsehoods isn’t.

This is a key point. People who distrust everything about Iran's government are now taking the government's internal spin as gospel. They're using that to malign a group of independent researchers, like my colleagues @DEsfandiary & @AliVaez.

Over the past decade, I've been called an American agent, an Iranian regime sympathizer and a British stooge.
I usually choose to dismiss such defamatory nonsense.
But on this occasion, I'm going to respond, because this is straight up hatchet journalism.

This should be a target of sanctions: pressure nations allowing North Korean cyber army & procuring WMD equipment to eject Al North Koreans.
