"the EU also asserted that Iran appeared to have had a past nuclear arms program despite denials from Tehran"
The NIE said that last year. It also said Iran stopped in 2003.
"its stonewalling of IAEA attempts to follow up on intelligence suggesting it was developing a nuclear arms program up until several years ago"
NIE, anyone???
"But Israel says the Islamic Republic could have enough nuclear material to make its first bomb within a year."
Not with the stuff that Iran is making.
It`s all low-level enriched, and IAEA inspections makes it impossible for Iran to feed it back into a new cascade.
Or, in short: the IAEA is doing its job.
"That means, he says, they can produce more enriched uranium faster."
Note the trick: he isn`t saying Iran is now able to MORE HIGHLY ENRICH THE STUFF, but that they are now able to make THIS LOW LEVEL STUFF FASTER.
Stuff that isn`t a threat to anyone. |
