We have heard this before, and it (apparently) did not turn out to be true. On the other hand, that doesn’t in itself mean that it isn’t true this time. Kahl is trying to make a case for the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, and is claiming that it actually stymied Iran’s efforts to make a […]
Israel refuses Biden administration request to transfer missiles to Ukraine
