Iran renews nuclear weapons development

Nuclear experts responsible for monitoring Iran's nuclear programme have discovered that enough enriched uranium, which if processed to weapons grade level could be used to make up to six atom bombs, has disappeared from the main production facility at Isfahan.

American spy satellites have identified a number of suspicious sites, which the Iranians have not declared to nuclear inspectors, that intelligence officials believe are being used for covert research.

The new discoveries emerged as it was revealed that Israel had asked America for military supplies, including "bunker buster" bombs and re-fuelling planes, suitable for an attack on Iranian nuclear installations.

The Israeli paper Haaretz reported yesterday that Israel has also asked for permission to use an air corridor through Iraqi airspace, currently controlled by America, to Iran.

So far the requests have been turned down by Washington, which is currently not as keen as Israel to consider a military strike against Iran.

But concern that Iran has resumed work on building atom bombs has deepened following the revelation that large quantities of uranium has gone missing from Iran's conversion facility at Isfahan.

The Isfahan complex, which enriches raw uranium "yellow cake" into material that can be used for either nuclear power or atomic weapons, is supposed to be subject to close supervision by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy ... >>>

THANK YOU IRAN (if you are building the bomb !)

For deterent purposes, Iran needs the atomic bomb. If mullahs are smart enough to realize that and build them, thanks to them. Lets not forget that due to to it geopolitical area and resources, Iran is not North Korea to be treated that same way. We live in a dangerous area and at a very dangerous time, and we need to be protected. If it takes atomic bombs, let it be !

The hypocrisy and true

by Farhad Kashani on Fri Sep 12, 2008 11:25 PM PDT

The hypocrisy and true intentions have been exposed!

 

1-     You can’t be praising the regime for developing nuclear weapons after all this time spending trying to fool yourself and claim that the IRI is NOT developing nuclear weapons. If you really had any argument or point, you should’ve stuck to praising IRI from the beginning, not making the claim that pursuing nuclear weapons is wrong and the IRI is not doing that, and now coming around and saying, well, thank you IRI for developing nuclear weapons! That’s the ultimate hypocrisy and irrationality, and confusion too!

2-     Lets add: “Thank you” IRI for killing Iranians, “Thank you” IRI for imprisoning “Iranians”, “Thank you” IRI for torturing Iranians, “Thank you” IRI for killing democracy in Iran, “Thank you” IRI for taking our freedom of speech away, “Thank you” IRI for applying fundamentalist religious laws in our country, “Thank you” IRI for stoning our women, “Thank you” IRI for taking our basic rights away, “Thank you” IRI for all the poverty, corruption, insecurity, bad International reputation, crime, prostitution, inflation, unemployment you have caused, “Thank you” IRI for inspiring, supporting and becoming the center for Islamic Fundamentalism Terrorism,….and now that I “Thanked you” for all of that, and although I’ve been saying all along that you are not developing nuclear bomb because its “wrong” to make nuclear bombs, and you are too righteous of a government to do that, “Thank you” for building the bomb so your bargaining ability and your oppression strength and Iranian people fear of you increases dramatically, so you can stay in power even longer and longer and do all the great things you did above! THANK YOU indeed!

Re: A-Bomb bring no security, wise foreign policy does.

The key word is "deterent". Of course no one is going to claim (or be believed) that  they have the bomb unless and until they test it and show it. . That test is (normally)  the evidence that a country has it. Like claiming you have a super-super-dooper sonic plane built. You need to show and fly from one point to another point to prove it. As for your claim of superiority, Iran will never be a super power (at least not in my or possibly your life time). If Iran had the bomb in 1980, USA would not even think of unleashing its mad dog (was saddam at the time) to attack iran. Saddam himself would be stupid to attack even if his masters wanted him to. It is the same story today with respect to the Zio-Nazis, Afghanis, or Pakis, or you name them. They would not dare to threaten Iran in those circumstances, becasue they know what will be coming to them.

A-Bomb bring no security, wise foreign policy does.

I think it is a very stupid move to develope Atom bomb. It is of no use to Iran or Iranian people.
It brings iran more isolation, more sanctions, more sufering, more poverty but no security.
what will you do with the A-Bomb???????????
Do you want to threat a superpower (USA) or a small superpower (Israel) or both with a single small not ever tested and probably not even functioning A-Bomb.
these guys are sitting on an arsenal of thousends of Super A Bomb and can deliver them anywhere in the world if they want.
I hope the Government of Iran is not that stupid.
Bomb does not bring you security, a wise foreign policy does. I live in switzerland, we are neighbour to Germany, france and Italy but we had never a war in the last 2 hundred years, not even during WWI or WWII.
this is a wise foreign policy
