Iran already has the nuclear bomb, according to a former CIA analyst
"Larry Johnson says that Pepe Escobar and he have been tipped off that Iran already has the bomb and that we may see a show of force with a detonation on Iranian territory." The leak, circulating in alternative intelligence circles, has shaken up the geopolitical board. The former CIA analyst, who in the past correctly predicted Russian moves, asserts that the Sarracinic Republic already possesses functional nuclear weaponry and could opt for an open test to stake out its position.
The rumor mill: from the CIA to YouTube
The information comes through Larry Johnson, a former CIA and State Department official, who in an interview with Garland Nixon claims to have first-hand contacts. Although the source is not specified —"an intelligence agent from an Asian country"— the core of the message is clear: the war in the Middle East, as it is being waged today, would change in nature irreversibly. Nevertheless, skepticism is widespread: "This reminds me of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," is repeated among alternative analysts. The comparison with 2003 is inevitable.
What if it's true? The implications
If the leak proved true, the regional balance would be blown apart. An Iran with nuclear deterrent capability would leave Israel and the Gulf monarchies in an awkward strategic position. "It's not the same for a nuclear weapon to land on a small country like Israel as on a large one like Iran," the argument goes. The paradox is that a theocratic regime with atomic weapons reassures no one, but neither do other holders like Pakistan or North Korea. Recent history is a reminder that the international community has already been deceived by intelligence reports.
The shadow of disinformation
The lack of verifiable evidence —beyond Johnson's words— calls for caution. "If a YouTuber's cousin says so..." some quip, while others argue that a former CIA analyst with contacts is not just any YouTuber. The source's credibility divides the fledgling debate. Without independent confirmation, the rumor remains just that: a rumor with explosive potential.
