Iran Ready To Build Bomb – Just Waiting For Ayatollah To Give The Order

By Tabatha, 3 August, 2009, 3 Comments

 

Iran now has the technology to make, and detonate, a nuclear warhead – so says an intelligence source speaking in The Times newspaper in London.

Er, hello? Israel has been imploring the international community to recognise this for the past year or longer. The world didn’t want to know. Now, suddenly, it’s important news?

The source also says that Iran is simply waiting for the Ayatollah’s order, at which point it would create the the bomb and then – well, who knows?


With a despotic little pipsqueak like Ahmadinejad  and the Supreme Fruitcake the Ayatollah on the scene, the spectre of a nuclear Iran is the stuff of nightmares.

Two years ago, a US National Intelligence Estimate declared that Iran had ‘ended’ its nuclear arms proejct in 2003, owing to the threat from the American invasion of Iraq.



Now, though, the aforementioned intelligence source has told The Times that Tehran stopped the nuclear research for a very different reason: namely, because it had reached its goal.
It had found a way of detonating a warhead that could be launched on its long range Shehab-3 missiles.


As Israel has been warning for years, Iran has been running a covert nuclear research department for years, and has utilised hundreds of scientiests and metallurgists in a massive bid to develop nuclear technology.



It is also possible that, in addition to the Natanz site, Iran has developed other, secret facilities. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency only keep tabs on fissile material produced at monitored sites – they don’t keep an eye on the number of centrifuges that Iran has constructed.




Is it just  me, or does that sound utterly irrational? To only monitor the sites that are….being monitored…..?
The Obama administration has given Iran until next month to ‘open talks’ on resolving the nuclear issue.



Hands up anyone out there who thinks the Iranians give a damn what America says…?
The question is: will Iran care, when and if the international community imposes harsh sanctions?

Israeli Defence Minister, Ehud Barak, last week stated again that a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities remained one option. Israel has estimated that a raid on Natanz, and another facilitiy at Arak, in central Iran, mightset Iran’s nuclear ambitions back by two, maybe three, years.


Israel is probably and understandably the most anxious of all the countries who are concerned about a nuclear Iran. Ahmadinejad has repeatedly reiterated his desire to ‘wipe Israel off the map’.


As is the case so often, Israel is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She can’t afford to just sit back and hope that Obama et al can ‘reason’ with Mad Mahmoud – and if she makes a pre-emptive strike then she’ll yet again be condemned by the world. Not to mention the conflict could escalate and plunge the world into even more chaos and mayhem.

    Hi Tabatha.

    Just been watching documentary about the world war two nuclear programs of both Germany and Japan.

    Before the atom bombs were drooped on Japan, the Japanese were close to lunching a so called "dirty bomb on California.

    While I most certainly am not calling for a nuclear strike on Iran, only Israel the survival of Israel may decide upon decisive action, and only Israel can make that choice!.

    "Oh year vanger.

    Regardless of what Iraq may or may not have had in 2003, its strange how very few today criticize
    Israel for striking against the reactor in Baghdad(1981)

    HI STEVEN :)

    That is an excellent point you make about Japan and the atom bomb.

    And yes, you are absolutely right – back when Israel did destroy the Iraqi facility at Osirik, the world yelled in rage.

    Fast forward a bit….. and suddenly Israel was 'gutsy' and 'courageous' for doing it…

    GREAT points STEVEN! Thanks for posting!
