Israel is in possession of around 200 nuclear weapons and they are “all targeted” at Iran, according to a leaked Colin Powell email.
In the leaked 2015 email exchange, former Secretary of State Colin Powell discussed Israel’s nuclear weapons with a friend, shedding light on Israel’s longstanding efforts to lure the United States into war with Iran.
Powell, in an exchange with US Democratic party donor and business partner Jeffrey Leeds, revealed the real size of Israel’s massive nuclear arsenal while discussing a speech by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu concerning the latter’s opinion of the dangers of the Iran nuclear deal.

In the email, Powell asserts that Iran would not use an atomic bomb even if they could obtain one, because “the boys in Tehran know Israel has 200, all targeted on Tehran, and we have thousands.”
“We’ll blow up the only thing they care about—regime survival. Where, how would they even test one?” Powell wrote.
Sputnik reports: Israel has never publicly confirmed that they have nuclear weapons, though it is an open secret that the nation is well-armed.
In 2014, the Federation of American Scientists estimated the nation had between 80 and 400 nuclear weapons, but reported that the number is probably closer to 80 than 400. Powell’s figure in the email, sent in March 2015, more than doubles their figure, the Times of Israelnotes.
“I don’t trust Iranians — almost went to jail over Iran-Contra,” Powell also asserted in the emails.
Powell also doubted estimates on how long it would take for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
“They [the Iranians] say, correctly, that they have every right to enrich [uranium] for energy. Russians helped build a power reactor at Busher. Can’t get enough sanctions to break them. Lots of bs around about their progress. Bibi likes to say ‘a year away,’ as do our intel guys. They say it every year. [It] ain’t that easy to do,” Powell stated.
In the emails, Powell also referred to Donald Trump as a “national disgrace and an international pariah,” called Hillary Clinton “greedy, not transformational,” and asserted that Bill Clinton is “still dicking bimbos.”

I am not a fan of any politician, and that includes Trump, but if this bozo Powell thinks trump is a disgrace, then just what in the hell is he? This traitor went on record and national television holding a vial claiming it was something it was not, and gave other false testimony to lead many into believing Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, when they turned out to be nothing more then weapons of mass deception. Every human regardless of what country, religion or belief that died over this is one that not only Powell, but GWB and others should be held responsible for, taken to trial, found guilty and then shot or hung. It would give me great pleasure to be the executioner. You Powell are a lying piece of garbage.
So General Powell, former Secretary of State, who participated in Desert Storm I & 2, is in the news. Its true what they say ” the only thing you can take to your grave is integrity”
General Power lost all integrity when he back and voted for that queer muslim obama.
” The Worship of Police Officers and members of the military being portrayed as heroic figures has become a National Mental Illness, glorifying incompetence, stupidity, and criminality, perpetuated by exagerated media propaganda and fear mongering. General Powell is a Zionist stooge and should be charged with Crimes Against Humanity for his lies and deceit supporting the phony war of terror, he belongs in a mental institution for the psychopathic criminally insane.
