Iran’s nuclear buildup is not being taken seriously enough by the international community. Soon it will be too late to bring the regime’s aspirations for a nuclear weapon under control. The consequences could be catastrophic, especially given the fact that the Iranian mullahs ascribe to Shia doomsday theology.
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin “called on the international community to recognize the situation, and to take an uncompromising position on Iran’s nuclear plans and its support of terrorist organizations.”
An Iran deal is not the solution. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the idea of reinstating the Iran deal “truly a head scratcher.”
“Iran enriching uranium at underground plant at Natanz, says UN watchdog,” WION News, March 17, 2021:
Iran has started enriching uranium at its underground plant in Natanz, according to a report by the UN’s nuclear watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Reuters reported that the enrichment at Natanz was of the second type of advanced centrifuge, the IR-4.
The IAEA report claimed that Iran has indicated that it plans to install a second cascade of IR-4 centrifuges at the Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP), although the installation hasn’t begun as yet.
“In summary, as of 15 March 2021, Iran was using 5,060 IR-1 centrifuges installed in 30 cascades, 522 IR-2m centrifuges installed in three cascades and 174 IR-4 centrifuges installed in one cascade, to enrich natural UF6 up to 5% U-235 at FEP,” Reuters quoted the IAEA report as saying.
Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a video conference with the European Policy Centre think tank had said: “Europeans are used to compromise. Iran and the United States are not. The Americans are used to imposing, and we are used to resisting,” asserting that a compromise was needed to end the nuclear deal deadlock.
The US had walked out of the 2015 nuclear deal under the Trump administration in 2018 and reimposed punishing sanctions on Tehran.
The Biden administration along with its European allies have been trying to salvage the pact as Iran said it was ready to go back to the JCPOA immediately after the United States goes back to the implementation of the agreement.
“The current US administration or the next administration will not be able to achieve a better deal with Iran than the JCPOA. Not with this government and not with any future government. This is the best possible deal,” Zarif said….

I wonder if there could be a way to scatter barrel loads of plutonium in and around Natanz and Fordow? Absolutely no-one could work safely there for months, or even years, until it was all cleared up. No need for ‘bunker busting bombs’ or explosions of any kind. Silent, non-functional labs underground. Just the sound of clicking Geiger counters and the distant hiss of desperation from Iranian Ayatollahs. Clowns!

That belligerent Islamic “Republic: of Iran that is officially headed by its mullah president Rouhani along with the other mullahs and ayatollahs who have such terrible influence and control over Iran’s parliament , without doubt,have aggressive and hostel Islamic sinister intentions regarding enriching uranium for nuclear weapons . For they hate ,detest and despise the State of Israel which they call “The little Satan.” Likewise ,they hate , detest and despise the United States which they call ” The great Satan.”
So their malice-filled scheming to obtain many nuclear missiles is a strong reflection of the truth revealed in the Bible which informs its reader that “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord.”
Proverbs 15;26. [N.K.J.V.]

Last year, in Aug 2020, there was a massive explosion in Beirut because someone made a decision to store massive amounts of ammonium nitrate on a harbor along with fireworks. Something sparked, and the whole city went Kaboom. If Iranians are not careful with all these enrichment equipment, that might happen to them.

Israel will not wait for the rest of the “free world” to take action…

Israel didn’t wait when threatened by Iraq back in 1981. Good thing, too.

Will learning this lead Biden to stop forking money over to the Mullahs? I would not count on it…
