Iran Nuclear Program
I) Introduction
Iran started their nuclear program since 1979 and claimed that the purpose is “for peaceful” but the West believes that Iran is developing weapons. The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency published a report which complained that it had been unable to “provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared material and activities in Iran” and that it continued to have “serious concerns regarding military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear program”.
II) Content 1) The military force
_ Iran wants to build deliverable nuclear weapons quickly and it may well want, at some points, to develop the bombs themselves. This is deeply worrying to Israel ( tai vi sao).
_ It also alarms nearby states, which fear Iranian power and could lead some of them - Saudi Arabia, Egypt, perhaps Turkey - to seek nuclear weapons of their own. Many fear that this would make the region which is not stable much more terrible.
_ The possibility of an Iranian bomb comes closer with every revolutions of the centrifuges in its underground enrichment plants. Israel’s director of military intelligence, General Kochavi, says that Iran has obtained 4 tones of uranium enriched to 3.5% and another 100kg enriched to 20%. It could possibly enrich from 20% to 90% and thus, the uranium would be enough for up to four nuclear weapons.
General Kochavi says that it would only take the Iranians a year to make a crude device and another one or two years to put together a nuclear warhead that would fit on a ballistic missile.
_ For Israel, there is no more opportunity to effectively deal with the Iranian. Although Iran has shown some intent to return to the bargaining table with the West, little progress made in the past and Iran continues expand its uranium-enrichment capabilities with the ongoing installation of centrifuges at Natanz and Fordow, which is known as its two enrichment plant.
_ Although Israel likes the use of sanctions to make Iran stop its nuclear activities,
