Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
Indeed and he seems to have got many things wrong. Anyway never heard of him so I won't be going to him for facts.
What you should be asking is why the two pro Trump pro Putin posters at the very exact same time started pushing the “Iran has nukes” narrative citing a clear conspiracy theorist who happened to work for CIA
Don't forget another nuclear armed state also publicly threatened to end Iran's entire civilization in one night. Given we have been told they are only two weeks away from making a bomb would it be any surprise if they did given that threat ?
Following the missile attack on an Iranian tanker and bombing of one of the islands, Centcom's statement was that all missiles were intercepted the other day have been shown again to be fabricated. Latest satellite images of the before and after clearly show a large destroyed building at the U.S. Air Force Base, Ali Al-Salem, in Kuwait.
Check the amount of things he's made up over years, there's plenty of examples on the page you linked… He has a proven track record of making up nonsense. He also appears to do plenty of pro war propaganda for the Russians too.. So nope, you're pushing conspiracy theories.
You're coming across as a tad silly, you didn't attempt any fact checking and leapt to a rant about the far left. I and other posters tend to happily call out nonsense wherever it's coming from. Random YouTube videos are by default suspect.
Yeah, they'll get what North Korea got - oh!
Why even waste time fact checking clear conspiracy theory nonsense? I’m glad you see right trough clear Russian propaganda nonsense too and called it out, if only more people done that even when it might not fit their political view
Reports a Serbian UNIFIL soldier killed by a missile strike.
An 'interesting' source indeed. A summary of Mr Johnson's previous scoops:-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_C._Johnson
According to The New York Times, Johnson is "best known for spreading a hoax... in 2008 that Michelle Obama had been videotaped using a slur against Caucasians".[12] On May 16, 2008, Johnson posted an item entitled, "Will Barack Throw Mama From the Train?" which alleged that a tape existed of Michelle Obama "railing against 'whitey' at Jeremiah Wright's church."[13][non-primary source needed] Johnson claimed that Republicans were in possession of the tape and it "is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time." In a subsequent post, Johnson claimed that Obama's appearance had occurred when she was on a panel with Louis Farrakhan. He also explained that he himself had not seen the tape, but had spoken with "five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape."[14][non-primary source needed] The Obama campaign's "Fight the Smears" website denied the rumor, saying, "No such tape exists. Michelle Obama has not spoken from the pulpit at Trinity and has not used that word."[15] On October 21, 2008, Johnson said that, according to one of his sources, the McCain campaign "intervened and requested the tape not be used."[16][non-primary source needed]
In 2013, Johnson falsely accused John Kerry of war crimes in Vietnam, alleging that Kerry had "raped some poor Vietnamese woman."[17] To support his claim, Johnson used a YouTube video[18] that contained audio clips from a 1971 debate on The Dick Cavett Show between John Kerry and John O'Neill. The original interview[19] audio[20] was altered to piece together words that Kerry spoke at different times during the debate, falsely making it sound as if he said, "I personally raped for pleasure." When the falsehood was exposed by a reader of Johnson's blog, Johnson deleted the article without apology.[21]
In March 2017, Andrew Napolitano said on Fox & Friends that GCHQ, Britain's signals intelligence service, had wiretapped Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign on orders from President Obama.[12][22] Johnson was the source for Napolitano's claim.[12][23] Sean Spicer, President Trump's press secretary, repeated the claim.[12] Fox News later disavowed the statement by Napolitano.[12]
Johnson defended Russia from allegations that it interfered in the 2016 presidential election.[24] Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Johnson has made regular appearances on Russian media and expressed support for its war effort. He has been cited hundreds of times in pro-Kremlin Russian media, including Izvestia, Sputnik, and RIA Novosti.[25] In March 2025, Johnson was one of three media personalities invited to interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.[26]
I'm not pushing anything.
I'm saying what he and Pepe Escobar have said on that show. The same show also features Mearsheimer, ray McGovern and Aaron Mate. It's generally quite interesting. They get some things wrong and many things right.
An Iranian nuclear arsenal would be Middle East MAD although I given Iran's reluctance to kill civilians, I wonder would they retaliate. Hopefully the Israelis won't test that equation. I believe the Israelis have enough nukes to do serious damage not just in Iran but to other countries they hate.
I'm saying that a guy who has previously altered audio to implicate John Kerry in rape during the Vietnam war is not a credible source. You have a tendency to post sources that lack credibility. There's no evidence that Iran has successfully developed nuclear weapons and no credible outlets are claiming that they do. Claiming they're about to use one is up there with anything Alex Jones claims.
Also it's sort of hilarious that you always seem to link to sources that also hold completely batshit views on Russia.
The Iranians have no reluctance to kill civilians, all they and their proxies ever do is target civilians.
Iran's reluctance to kill civilians. 😂
I mean that's obviously not true. Even when the Iraqis were using western supplied chemical weapons the Iranians refused to respond in kind as chemical weapons were forbidden in Iran.
I appreciate you have assoft spot for genocidal Israelis but there's no need to twist the facts. Iran don't target school children like USrael.
I'm not here to defend Johnson but do you have evidence he altered video? That sounds strange to be honest if true.
I think it's sad that you are intent on ignoring the OSCE

and countless other sources that suggest Ukraine's not a paragon of democracy. I don't support the government of Ukraine or the government of Russia. I support Ireland. Insults are unlikely to change that. Fwiw, this is not the Russia thread.
And yet somehow you manage to constantly link to questionable characters and take a dig at Ukraine when not busy cheering for Russian puppets like Trump or their Iranian allies
As for corruption
Out of 181, so please spare us the corruption angle
Maybe you should do better in terms of who you choose to use as a source. At the minimum, he falsely accused a man of rape based on poor research. Yet you're trusting him on this. It's the classic conspiracy theorist scenario where you'll inevitably not say anything when nothing happens.
Hold on a minute here, you are talking about a 1980s war between Iran and Iraq.
I am talking about the here and now, the last decade, when the only targets of Iran and its proxies have been civilians. They killed tens of thousands of their own citizens this year. Hamas and Hezbollah have repeatedly committed civilian atrocities, Hamas using hospitals and schools as human shields, despicable war crimes.
Iran is one of the worst regimes in the world, I know your blind anti-Israeli prejudice won't let you see that, and you have to excuse them at every turn, but the reality is that they are a truly horrible regime.
II never said I trusted him. I said what he said and is being promoted. It may be entirely untrue but thought it interesting he and Escobar were both singing off the same hymn sheet.
Israel committed despicable war crimes and Israelis used evidence free justifications for mass murder similar to what you repeat.

Interesting statement from President Trump that Iran was provoked. The US has realised that it has to stay out of the swamp that Russia got itself into.
https://news.meaww.com/in-rare-public-statement-khamenei-urges-unity-as-trump-signals-ceasefire-still-intact
President Donald Trump suggested that Iran’s recent attack on Kuwait was partly a response to American military operations against Iranian targets. Speaking at the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said some observers could view Tehran’s actions as retaliation for earlier US strikes.
“Some people would say they were slightly provoked because we took a strong action for a different reason, so they were reciprocating that,” Trump said.
When asked whether the ceasefire with Iran remained in force following the latest attacks, Trump indicated that the agreement was still holding despite the exchange of strikes.
You've repeatedly implied they're credible in spite of the fact your sources both have poor reputations. Find me a single well regarded publication that claims Iran has nuclear weapons... Not some lads who do propaganda for Russia in their spare time.
You probably can't see it but it's possible to view the Israeli and Iranian regimes as being as bad as each other. But maybe you buy into the 'only democracy in the Middle East' / 'Most moral army in the world' bollocks.
Russian President reiterates for the third time since June 2025 a solution to the enriched nuclear material. A guarantee was also offered for no nuclear weapons once the treaty between the two sides was ratified in January 2026 which stated that Iran would not pursue a nuclear weapon.
Unfortunately Trump rejected both offers.
The general vilification of Iran may very well be justified. But to avoid the same vilification of Israel one has to ignore/wave away
And they're just the highlights.
Where did I imply they're credible?

Well firstly, it would be a bit weird for you to sharing it if you didn't think they were. You didn't preface it with the fact that he often makes **** up. You also then went out of way to backup his credentials while omiting the fact he's a notorious liar.

Germany didn’t get a seat on UN Security Council due to their unwavering support for the Zionist terrorist regime.
I certainly don't believe the vilification of Iran is justified. Our Iranian friends were highly educated, balanced, mannerly and excellent hosts.
If you've ever gone back packing, you've likely met gangs of savage Israelis completely disrespecting the cultures in which they find themselves. (Fwiw, I met some nice Israelis too but by and large the IDF doesn't seem to have a good effect.)
The Israelis are plumbing the depths of depravity and can easily infiltrate Lebanese and Iranian society through torture, dog rape, blackmail, etc. because those societies do not stoop to those levels of depravity.
The British fighting the nazis were imperfect. In that analogy Iran = Brits, Israel= Nazis.
