Iran Steps Closer to Building the Bomb

Iran has begun processing a new batch of uranium at its Isfahan facility, the Islamic state announced on Friday, 18 November. The move is another step closer to producing a nuclear weapon.

Work at Isfahan was suspended in 2004 after an agreement with England, France and Germany. The three European countries, known as the EU3, have been trying to broker a deal with Iran to allow UN inspectors to monitor its nuclear program.

In a setback, Iran resumed activity at the plant in August of this past summer, causing the EU3 to halt its negotiations.

Meanwhile, the UNâ??s nuclear watchdog group, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is planning to hold its next meeting in the coming week. The organization will assess Iranâ??s level of co-operation since September and consider referring Iran to the UN Security Council.

If it decides the country has not improved its standing with the IAEA, the organizationâ??s referral could lead to economic sanctions.

As Iranian officials continue to say they will never give up their atomic program and that its function is for peaceful purposes only, the international community continues to be worried Iran is simultaneously using the know-how to build the bomb.

Though the US and Israel have said they hope the situation can be resolved diplomatically, they have not ruled out a military operation to avoid a nuclear Iran, which would be a threat to both countries as well as other western nations.

Israel will NEVER allow Iran to get to the point of having the bomb! It's actually for the best!!! :thumbsup:

According to German reports, Israel is acquiring another two German Dolphin class submarines. The subs may provide Israel with second strike capability, essential for deterring nuclear conflict.


Two German weeklies, Der Spiegel and Focus, have reported that Israel will be purchasing two Dolphin class submarines from Germany. The purchase will cost $1.17 billion, with one-third of the cost to be covered by the German government.

Germany provided Israel with Israel three Dolphin class submarines after the first Gulf War. Two of the subs were supplied free of charge after it was revealed that German companies helped Saddam Hussein develop his weapons program. The third submarine was purchased at a cost of $350 million.

During that war in 1991, the Iraqi leader fired 39 Scud missiles onto Israeli territory.

According to media speculation, the new submarines will provide Israel with second strike capability, in the event that Iran, or any other state, attacks Israel with nuclear weapons. Some reports suggest that the torpedo hatches on the Dolphin submarines acquired by Israel have been widened to accommodate nuclear missiles.

Second strike capability is essential for deterring nuclear attack. The underwater subs, which are very difficult to detect, would ensure that Israel could strike back and devastate any country that launched a first strike against it.

The fact that both the United States and the Soviet Union possessed significant second strike capability is largely credited for preventing nuclear war between those two states.

Subs capable of launching nukes....seems their getting ready for something...maybe Iran?

Im telling you dude WWIII will break out all over if Iran is attacked.. Im not on the side Of Iran, but if israel allowed to have NUKES, then so should everyone else. As jesus said to Judas one day "do it quickly."

I agree, NOBODY in that region should have ANY access to nuclear weapons. Now what country was responsible for setting up Israel with nuclear technology???

No one should have access to nuclear weapons.

if we have nukes, everyone must have nukes, if we have no nukes, everyone had better get rid of theirs.


i hope every fucking world leader adopts a better mindset, or im gonna have to fucking shoot their bastard asses.

Israel felt the time was right to approach France for assistance in building a nuclear reactor. Canada had set a precedent a year earlier when it had agreed to build a 40-megawatt CIRUS reactor in India.

So the French deemed it o.k. to spread nuclear technology AFTER Canada set the standard by supplying this same technology to India.

And still no information on how the U.S. was behind all this!

very interesting.......

And then what...since the U.S. has the best tanks and helicopters we either share that or get rid of ours. Do you own a gun...I don't...buy me one or throw yours away!

I don't see anyone saying that the U.S. was responsible, man.

There is a problem in Iran that has been discussed and the issue always leads to U.S. support for Israel and the fact that they are a nuclear nation. So where did the nukes come from and who was responsible for it? Thats my only question. Iran WILL have to be dealt with and the people initially responsible for putting nuclear technology into that area will also be the first to bury their heads in the sand.
