A March 2009 WikiLeaks cable which, at the time of its release, probably would have been spun amongst officials as a major “smoking gun” about Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program, was released today. Two years later, the same information appears to demolish the various administration allegations against Iran.
That’s because in March 2009 US officials were fretting over Iran’s capability to enrich uranium to the weapons grade levels “if it so chose” and, consequently, had the capability to make the nuclear weapons that the US has been making such a big deal about.
The capability of the Natanz facility, which the document is referring to, to enrich uranium to this level was never in serious doubt, though it is worth noting that Press Secretary Robert Gibbs rejected the notion that they had such a capability in early 2010.
But the cable only really becomes interesting when you take into account several additional documents released by the IAEA, all of which detail the operations at Natanz and all of which, despite raising other questions, are able to verify with absolute certainty that Iran never has enriched uranium above 20 percent (and that in very small quantities), far below the level needed for weapons (which experts put in the 90-95 range).
In other words, the Obama Administration confirmed, two years ago, that Iran had the capability to produce nuclear weapons, and they simply didn’t. All of the administration’s rhetoric since March 2009 falls apart in the face of this one, unavoidable fact, that despite the program’s ability to theoretically produce nuclear arms, it has continued to exclusively operate for civilian purposes.
This will continue as illegal states wants illegal acts against democratic govt. America needs unknow enemies for their public consumption like afghanistan, irak and pakistan as well as iran.
Iran is the perfect example of what the power of propaganda can do. Well, that is after Iraq, of course. These bastards have taken a lie and continue to run with it relentlessly. In the process, they've managed to convince more than half the idiots that indeed they're a big threat and are about this close to making a bomb and blah blah blah while the whole time the complete opposite is consistently coming out of Iran. Israel better hope that this one pays off for them or Iran could be the one that does their paranoia in once and for all.
Part 3
2- Iranian culture and traditions has still a small (if not profound) influence on decision making process of Iranian rulers (no matter of many are financially corrupt). Refer to Rumi’s or Saadi’s poetry. For instance in the Hall of Nations of UN one of Saadi’s poems is inscribed where it reads:
If you don’t have sympathy for Human Pain
The name of Human you can not retain..
3- In the mind of Iranians the enemies (especially Israelis) are distinctively ruthless. They might think when Iran is ready to test its first atom bomb is also the time when the process of “total obliteration” of Iran statrts.
4- Other reasons Khatami and Ahmadinejad have expressed during their interviews with Western Media which are in accordance of above items 1 and 2..
Part 2
Nobody was listening to Iranians telling the same. Read the following recent piece by Dr. Marandi of University of Tehran published in RaceForIran.com.
http://www.raceforiran.com/the-islamic-republic-o…
“….It is critical to note that Iran never used or produced chemical weapons either during the war or afterwards, despite the technological capability to do so. This alone, Iranians regularly point out, is evidence that the Islamic Republic of Iran is honest when it states that it has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons…”.
Why Iran is not after the bomb? That is a complex question. The answer might lie in realizig the following:
1- In Iran-Iraq war the scenes of soldiers with burnt lungs or pains from gross blisters (or nerve gas) were so appalling the Iranians who always claimed having a higher moral standard decided not to stoop that low as Saddam
Part 1 of 3
Iran not being after the bomb was known to American and Israeli insiders for quite some time
Watch the following video to see how Hillary Mann Leverett describes that to Amy Goodman :
)
“ ….when we look at Iran…how Iran behaved during Iran-Iraq war in 1980's…an eight year war where more than half a million Iranians were killed in part because Saddam Hussein using chemical weapons against them…..the Iranians decided…..took a decision……we actually know…..there is archival material ……that it shows some of the debate within the Iranian leadership…..they took a decision not to use chemical weapons back against the Iraqis……so we have actually some sense of an ability by Iranians to take some pretty severe hits and to not go first use some unconventional weapons….option to use even against its archest foe in 1980s…”.
I expect Obama to reflect on his major slogan during Campaign by witdrawing all troops from
Afghanistan because they are only killing innocent civilians and thieir blood will keep on hunting
American progress in every aspect of life, econmically,politically etc. American can only acheive
true peace by going bak to the teachings of Allah & His messanger. Iran continue to attain a milestone in every aspect of science due to their core beleives in Allah and themselves, May Allah continue to streighten them.
