The Obama administration has signaled a change in it’s policy towards Iran from that of the Bush administration.
U.S. policy “will seek an end to Iran’s ambition to acquire an illicit nuclear capacity and its support for terrorism,” Rice told the 15 council members.
Not! And Iran is not happy with that. Tough! Deal!
Obama might be willing to talk with them but that’s as far as it goes for now. Good. Mind you, Iran is still enriching uranium and has almost enough to make a bomb.
It currently has close to 4,000 machines pumping out the low enriched uranium and has produced enough material to bring it at least close to 1,100 kilograms. But in a little noted observation, the IAEA report also said Tehran has 1,600 more centrifuges for enriching uranium gas feedstock on standby.
…With 5,600 centrifuges enriching, Iran could add about 100 kilograms — more than 200 pounds — to its established stockpile within a month; or even more, considering it is setting up additional ready-to-go centrifuges every day.
Even those 100 kilograms would give it an estimated low-enriched uranium stockpile of just over 1,100 kilograms — the minimum experts believe is required to yield the 25 kilograms, or 55 pounds, of highly enriched weapons grade uranium needed to build one bomb.
Disquieting. Iran must be stopped. Hope the Obama administration has the will to do it before it is too late. Of course, Iran pays no heed to the U.N. Security Council. Not sure we could do any better.
