The Dimona Deception and Reshaping the Region
If Israel really had operational control over its nukes, wouldn’t the IDF have acted by now?
Who Really Controls Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal?
There’s a strange pattern that emerges every time Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instigates war with Iran: a U.S. Navy battle group inevitably appears in the region. Despite Israel's reported military might, including its alleged nuclear arsenal, it seems that the U.S. continues to fund Israel’s missile defense systems: the Iron Dome, THAAD, and Arrow 3.
But that’s not all.
As I’ve previously noted, there’s reason to believe that Site 512 — a key missile defense installation near Be’er Sheva in the Negev desert — isn’t fully under Israeli control. According to Intelligence Online, the private military contractor Constellis is working for “a secret Pentagon base near Beersheva” that gives Israel advanced warning of missile attacks. They really aren’t hiding it anymore, are they?
Reports suggest Jeffrey Epstein may have been involved in blackmailing former Prime Minister Ehud Barak to secure U.S. military control over the site sometime before 2007. It’s a theory of mine that deserves more attention than it’s gotten.
Fast forward to June 12th, the U.S. embassy in Israel issued a security alert, restricting American government personnel and their families from leaving Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Be’er Sheva. Meanwhile, the State Department has fully evacuated non-essential staff from U.S. embassies in Iraq, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Is the reason American personnel were not evacuated from Israel, unlike other countries in the region, because we control the nuclear facility at Site 512?
Neoconservatives and hardline Zionists are pushing Donald Trump to launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. But here’s the contradiction: if Israel had operational control over its nukes, wouldn’t the IDF have acted unilaterally by now?
I’m not convinced by the mainstream narrative. The broader strategy may not be about defense at all, but about reshaping the Middle East. Despite the rhetoric, I don’t believe Iran is close to possessing nuclear weapons, and I suspect Israel’s arsenal may not be entirely under its own command.
What we’re seeing could be the Trump administration allowing both Iran and Israel to lob missiles at each other in order to weaken them both. It’s more of a cold calculation that could serve U.S. strategic interests more than anyone else's. We will have to see if Trump takes Benjamin Netanyahu’s bait to attack Iran. If he does, then MAGA is done. Stick a fork in it.
I guess it’s a ‘hurry up and wait’ situation.

Wasn’t Netanyahu in danger of losing his majority last week over a Haredi military draft avoidance deal expiring? The Haredi in his coalition were going to quit, and nearly simultaneously Bibi launches this crazy attack on Iran. It looked like an attempt at distracting his coalition from its internal squabbling and an effort to prolong his position as PM (and keep him out of jail with his ongoing corruption trials)
