Sahit Muja: Iran's nuclear power reactor has reached full capacity, a senior official said Saturday.Iran's deputy nuclear chief, Mohammad Ahmadian, said the reactor at the Bushehr power plant was brought to its "full capacity of 1,000 megawatts" Friday evening.
Iran may have doubled its uranium enrichment capacity in an underground facility "Iran appears to be continuing to encounter problems in its testing of production-scale cascades of advanced centrifuges," a U.S. think-tank, the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), said.
According to Reuters "A confidant of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that U.S. President Barack Obama had yet to present a credible military threat that could deter Iran from seeking nuclear weapons".
According to Reuters "The latest criticism was voiced by Tzachi Hanegbi, an influential former legislator who quit the opposition Kadima party in July to join up with Likud and Netanyahu, with whom he has always maintained a close relationship".
"I don't see that there is a credible threat for American action, the rhetoric of the U.S. president is too vague, very amorphous ... I don't see that (Obama's words) will be translated into more tangible intentions and therefore this is probably why the Iranians don't take it seriously, they speak out against it and they dismiss it," Hanegbi said.
It was another sign of Israeli impatience with its closest ally, the United States, which has urged Israel not to attack Iran on its own and to give international diplomacy more time to try to curb Tehran's nuclear programme.
The endorsement of Iran's right to a full nuclear fuel cycle to enrich uranium was included in the lengthy NAM summit final declaration, adopted yesterday.
The heads of state from at least 29 countries, including Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Qatar and Zimbabwe, participated, as well as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Other countries were represented at lower levels.
NAM stood with Iran just a day after the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Iran has accelerated its program, installing many more enrichment centrifuges in recent months, and refusing to disclose details on current and planned activities at nuclear research and development sites across the country.
The US historically has defended the international order. When Iraq attacked Kuwait, we defended Kuwait. When North Korea attacked South Korea, we defended South Korea. When Nazi Germany attacked France in WWII, we defended France, US defended Bosnia and Kosovo .
President Obama shares my convictions about the preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. To his credit, President Obama is clearly not rushing to start another war.
President Obama has said the United States will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. The tensions between Iran and Israel continue to escalate.
Iranian President Ahmadinejad told demonstrators in the state organized protests that "In the new Middle East there will be no trace of the American presence and the Zionists".
The thousands of Iranians shouted "Death to America, death to Israel", Ahmadinejad called Israel a "cancerous tumour" for its occupation of Palestinian land.
Sadly Iran is self-destructing. The radical Iranian government is leading its citizens on a death march. If Iran attack Israel or US oil cargo a mini-Hitler wannabe Ahmadinejad will join Saddam and Bin Laden.
Iranian policies of "Death to America, death to Israel", will cause the nation of Iran to vanish from the pages of history.
If Iran dared to even attempt to "Wipe Israel off the map" use such a thing, they'd get annihilated by the 300+ nukes that Israel already possesses, never mind the combined nukes and regular armaments of Israeli allies.
US has more than 5,000 nuclear warheads. If Iran go to war the whole country will be occupied, have all their oil taken, and that would be the end of a very ancient civilization.
President Obama resent Israeli efforts to bully the US into war on its behalf. Israel should go to war alone and take advantage of its nuclear arsenal to deny the Iranians the opportunity to exterminate the Jewish state.
In my opinion, the American people and specially Obama's voters the democrats will be against another war at this time, no matter how sympathetic We are to Israel. More importantly, the U.S. will never allow anyone to destroy Israel.
As a note to you war advocates "attack Iran now" You are product of foreign manipulation . I am deeply committed to the best interests of The United States first.
Frankly, some of you war- mongering advocates attempts to stir up war should join the IDF and fight for Israel if you are as committed to Israel as you say.
I'm sure Israel love to have you. Some of you war-mongering so obviously pretending to be American are spreading your divisive, un American ideals and your extremist ideology.
You pretend to care about America and Americans, but your facade is transparent. Finally, as a US citizen I am deeply concerned about why our men and women are sent to fight.
They better be for good reasons and not just to dance to the tune of Netanyahu a foreign government.
If Iran attacks Israel, we must defend Israel. Both countries should know, in advance, that US will take these positions, and back Israel up with our military, if necessary.
