It’s a matter of days, if not hours until Israel strikes Iran. But it won’t be Bushehr the fuel was delivered today.
“BUSHEHR, Iran – Trucks rumbled into Iran’s first reactor Saturday to begin loading tons of uranium fuel in a long-delayed startup touted by officials as both a symbol of the country’s peaceful intentions to produce nuclear energy as well as a triumph over Western pressure to rein in its nuclear ambitions.
The Russian-built Bushehr nuclear power plant will be internationally supervised, including a pledge by Russia to safeguard it against materials being diverted for any possible use in creating nuclear weapons. Iran’s agreement to allow the oversight was a rare compromise by the Islamic state over its atomic program.
Western powers have cautiously accepted the deal as a way to keep spent nuclear fuel from crossing over to any military use. They say it illustrates their primary struggle: to block Iran’s drive to create material that could be used for nuclear weapons and not its pursuit of peaceful nuclear power.
Iran has long declared it has a right like other nations to produce nuclear energy. The country’s nuclear chief described the startup as a “symbol of Iranian resistance and patience.”
“Despite all pressure, sanctions and hardships imposed by Western nations, we are now witnessing the startup of the largest symbol of Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities,” Ali Akbar Salehi told reporters inside the plant with its cream-colored dome overlooking the Persian Gulf in southern Iran.
In several significant ways, the Bushehr plant stands apart from the showdowns over Iranian uranium enrichment, a process that can be used both to produce nuclear energy or nuclear weapons. It also could offer a possible test run for proposals to ease the impasse.”
Of course this drivel was written by an AP writer named, wait for it, “Ali Akbar Darien”. Our Hillary-run State Department is worthless as usual.
“We recognize that the Bushehr reactor is designed to provide civilian nuclear power and do not view it as a proliferation risk.”
Right.
Little matter though, Israel has thrown down the gauntlet and will not Iran develop nuclear capability. While Bushehr isn the immediate target, proliferation targets are already on Israel’s map. It knows that Bushehr is a head fake. Iran is testing Israel beginning a battle they are sure to lose.
This is sure to get Israel off the stump:
“Ahmadinejad said. He realized Israel would like to destroy the plant, but would not dare, because it realized that Iran “is a fortress that cannot be destroyed.” And besides, he added, “I don’t believe their American masters would let them attack.”
Keep talking moron, it’s going to happen sooner than later.
