The Israelis would keep pretending you have nukes so they have an excuse to bomb you?

Sun 1 Jun

Iran has ramped up its production of highly enriched uranium to near weapons-grade levels, according to a confidential report by the UN nuclear watchdog.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called on Saturday, local time, for Tehran to urgently change course and comply with the agency's probe.

The latest report from the IAEA, seen by the Associated Press and AFP, says as of May 17, Iran has amassed 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60 per cent.



Iran has maintained its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

But the IAEA chief, Rafael Mariano Grossi, warned Tehran has enough uranium enriched to near-weapons-grade levels to make "several" nuclear bombs if it chose to.

In a separate in-depth report also released Saturday, the IAEA criticised "less than satisfactory" cooperation from Tehran over the agency's scrutiny of its nuclear program.

It specifically noted Iran's lack of progress in explaining nuclear material found at undeclared sites.

"Such a level of enrichment exists only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever," a statement from the office said.

Iran? Tellembuggerem.

Iran has been urgently signalling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the US via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.

In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the US doesn’t join the attack, the officials said.

They also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

But with Israeli warplanes able to fly freely over the capital and Iranian counterattacks inflicting minimal damage, Israeli leaders have little incentive to halt their assault before doing more to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites and further weaken the theocratic government’s hold on power.
Israeli strikes have killed key military leaders, including much of the top echelon of Iran’s air force, leaving Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei increasingly isolated. But the impact on nuclear facilities has been modest and analysts say it could take a long air war to get the results Israel wants.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the attacks will continue until Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles are destroyed, and he has shown no indication he is ready to stop. He has also said regime change isn’t a goal but could be a result given the Iranian leadership’s weakness.
