Iran And The Bomb

Western intelligence sources have reported that Iran has perfected the technology to create and detonate a nuclear warhead, and is merely awaiting the word from its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to produce its first bomb.

Iranian scientists have been trying to master a method of detonating a bomb known as the “multipoint initiation system” — wrapping highly enriched uranium in high explosives and then detonating it. Sources say that should Ayatollah Khamenei approve the building of a nuclear device, it would take six months to enrich enough uranium and another six months to assemble the warhead.

I had been expecting this news to be made public, having been saying for sometime that I expect a move to be made on Iran by the end of this year. A nuclear armed Iran would be to dangerous to contemplate, things have been quiet in the Western media because they were hoping that protests over the rigged Elections  may have achieved something, possibly regime change, now that is looking increasingly unlikely, it is forcing concerned nations to act.

As I write this I expect that the Israeli’s are finalising their plans to deal with this,whether it be alongside the American’s, or just with covert US backing I cant see how military action can be avoided, Israel has long since learned not to rely on anyone for their security, history has taught them some harsh lesson’s.

I suspect it is to late now for dialogue and even if Iran decided to come to the table and talk  Israel could not, one way or another this nuclear issue has to be dealt with, you cannot live with a neighbour bent on your destruction, now that they are achieving the means to bring that about.
