FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Tehran’s research reactor is small but this development would allow the
facility to produce medical isotopes for the treatment of disease.
If the majority of Iran’s store of 20 per cent enriched uranium has been used
to produce these rods, the threat posed by the rapid development of nuclear
weaponry would be lessened.
Alternatively, Dr Asculal adds, Iran may have advanced centrifuges for uranium
enrichment to replace their current weak models. This innovation would be of
much greater concern as it would guarantee a faster production of more
uranium.
Brigadier-General Uzi Eilam, former director general of Israel’s ministry of
defence, warned Israeli leaders against taking Mr Ahmadinejad’s inflammatory
announcement too seriously.
“The way [this achievement] was announced and where points to it being
another PR effort from the Iranian president,” General Eilam said.”I
would not be too disappointed if this balloon turned out to be empty. I am
one of the few who does not accept this urgent need [for military] action
[against Iran]”.
The United States has led the international community in applying tight
sanctions to persuade Iran to halt the nuclear programme.
In January, the EU agreed to ban oil imports and to freeze the assets of
Iran’s central bank. The sanctions have already inflicted serious economic
damage – Iran’s currency has plunged by 80 per cent – but the country’s
leadership remains defiant. Tehran continues to insist that its nuclear
development is for peaceful purposes.
As Mr Ahmadinejad spoke on Saturday, Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s foreign
minister, told journalists: “This nation will never ever yield to
pressure from outside. When you can’t differentiate between people and the
government, what does pressure mean?”
While the US and Israel have refused to rule out military action should
sanctions fail, a recent NBC report claims that Israel is already taking
covert action. The report quotes US officials supporting Iran’s accusation
that Israel is responsible for the assassination of several of its key
nuclear scientists, including Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan killed last month in
Tehran by a bomb attached to his car by a motorcyclist.
The unnamed officials claim these attacks were carried out by Iranian
dissidents trained, armed and funded by the Mossad. The Obama administration
is said to be aware of the operation but not directly involved.
Iran has warned of a “painful” response to Israeli or US military
strikes, a message that was reiterated on Saturday. “If attacked by the
Zionist regime (Israel), we will turn it to dust,” Mohammed Shirdel, a
commander in the Revolutionary Guard, warned.
