US still believes Iran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon, US officials say

"We assess that the Supreme Leader has not made a decision to resume the nuclear weapons program that Iran suspended in 2003," said the ODNI spokesperson, referring to Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The intelligence assessment could help explain U.S. opposition to any Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program in retaliation for a ballistic missile attack that Tehran carried out last week.

  • America (and Biden) are entirely culpable for the genocide in Palestine.

    They knew (we all did) what Israel was doing and would do with the arms, money, and protection provided to them.

  • Change
  • Did all the Americans stop caring that they're responsible for the genocide?

    Sounds about right, America never gives a shit about the pain and suffering it causes to the rest of the world.

  • Google Gemini refuses to answer questions about deaths in Gaza but has no problem answering the same question for Ukraine.
  • I find ChatGPT to be one of the better ones when it comes to corporate AI.

    Sure they have hardcoded biases like any other, but it's more often around not generating hate speech or trying to ovezealously correct biases in image generation - which is somewhat admirable.

  • Chinese AI - Double Standards
  • They either fall into two camps.

    50 centers paid or voluntold to spread the party line.

    Useful idiots who think in a binary West bad/Rest good mentality.

    Either way they're tools of propaganda warfare.

  • Gaza Health Ministry says over 29,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel-Hamas war
  • The United States, Israel’s top ally, says it is still working with mediators Egypt and Qatar to try to broker another cease-fire and hostage release agreement. But those efforts appear to have stalled in recent days, and Netanyahu angered Qatar by calling on it to pressure Hamas and suggesting it funds the militant group.

    israel doing everything in its power to keep the slaughter going and not get the hostages back safely.

  • Would a recognized Palestine help end the Gaza conflict?
    www.dw.com Would a recognized Palestine help end the Gaza conflict? – DW – 02/13/2024

    Calls to recognize Palestine as a state are much debated. Advocates say the move would have legal and symbolic power. But critics argue that it won't change the situation on the ground or solve the real problems.

    Would a recognized Palestine help end the Gaza conflict? – DW – 02/13/2024

    Although Germany does not consider Palestine a country, a majority of the world's states — 139 out of a total of 193 — at the United Nations do. What's significant this time, though, is that recognition is apparently being reconsidered by the US, a country that has previously vetoed almost every attempt to make Palestine a country.

    The UK also seems to be thinking about it even though in the past, the country has been just as opposed to the move as the US.
