Wikileaks: Stratfor emails reveal low-grade intelligence on Iran

The leaked info from rent-a-spy agency Statfor both highlights the intel that Israeli forces wiped out Iran’s nuclear infrastructure –and casts doubts on the report’s validity.

According to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange,both Stratfor’s methods and the quality of their information gathering raise eyebrows. Speaking at a press conference in London,Assange drew attention to examples from the company’s communications.

Over 5 million emails have been released – but one has already caught international attention. In November 2011,Stratfor employees discussed the increasing tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions  and the possibility of a military strike against the Islamic Republic by Israel. The source,who was commenting on the rumors of a ground offensive against Iran,said “I think this is a diversion. The Israelis already destroyed all the Iranian nuclear infrastructure on the ground weeks ago.”
