Iran must produce a bomb
World Friday, December 25th, 2009“Whether Iran is aiming towards a nuclear military capability is obviously beyond me. However, after reading David Aaronovitch, it should. Iran must produce a bomb as soon as possible. Deterring the Jewish state and its allies is the only key to peace in the Middle East. Sadly, that’s the only language that is understood,” Gilad Atzmon in Hasbara author va Iran’s bomb.
The members of Israel Hasbara Committee are busy churningg myths and creating new dangers from Iran’s future nuclear bomb. Five of these myths were discussed by Joseph Cirincione in one of the Jewish Lobby’s mouthpiece, The Washington Post, on October 18, 2009.
1. Since 1990s, Islamic Iran has been accused of being a few years away from boms. In 2007, US intelligence agencies claimed that Tehran had discontinued its military-related nuclear research in 2003. Now the western experts believe that Iran is in the position to build a crude-type bomb in 1-3 years (former Mossad head claimed it to be not earlier than 2015).
2. A military strike by either Israel or the US will increase the possibility of Iran developing a nuclear bomb. According to Robert Gates it would take three years to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities while much weaker Israeli attack could only damage, not destroy, Iran’s facilities. That’s why Tel Aviv wants American soldiers to die in Iran for Israel.
3. Sanction rarely, if ever, work their own. There is no silver bullet that can coerce Iran into compliance or collapse. No nation has ever been forced to give up nuclear programs, but many have been persuaded to do so, including Brazil, Argentina, Ukraine, Kazakistan, South Africa, etc.
4. No matter how the West paint the ruling class in Iran – it does has broad support in the matter of nuclear program. Any regime-change in Tehran is not going to change the public opinion. 2007 NIE report stated that Iran’s nuclear program is based on country’s low-cost energy source than its use for military purpose.
5. While Israel’s possession of nuclear weapons has not spurred the other countries in the area to develope their own, over the past three years a host of western puppet regimes including Saudia Arabia, UAE, Egypt have begun their civilian nuclear programs. The real danger is not a nuclear-arm Iran but a Middle East with more nuclear-armed nation (which could pose a threat to Israel with Islamists getting power in some of those countries). Without solving territorial, economic and political problems in the region, Washington cannot play nuclear whack-a-mole.
“Iran is threatened by Israel, America and the West on daily basis. Unlike Israel, a nation spiritually guided by suicidal biblical and historical narratives such as Samson and Masada, Iran’s military nuclear project only be realized as a defensive one. Iran needs its bombs to deter Israel, America and Britain. Iran is not going to launch a nuclear attack against Israel risking the life of millions of Muslims in the region. It has no reason to do so and it won’t. For Iran and every other state in the region, except Israel, nuclear weapons can only be understood as means of defence and deterrence,” – Gilad Atzmon.
