Iran: close to the nuclear edge


Iran has Nuclear Fuel for One Weapon -William J. Broad & David E. Sanger

Iran has now produced enough nuclear material to make a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, which has been conducting inspections of Iran's main nuclear plant at Natanz, reported that as of early November, Iran had made 630 kilograms of uranium.

When they think they have a bomb ready, they will have 2 choices. Test it, and the world has the technology to know this has occurred and the world MUST act. Or try to get it to Israel and test it there, where it may not make it through, and may not detonate, but could very possibly draw a nuclear response, that while it will be condemned by the rest of the world, will leave Iran laid to waste. It will not be so easy or safe for Iran to go nuclear and go after Israel as it may believe right now.

Or they wait and build more, building a strong nuclear arsenal. Then they sell their technology to Al-Qaaeda...or to Hamas...or...

You can see where that may lead.
