This week's report on Iran's nuclear programme by the UN's watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is its most alarming yet. Although no "smoking gun" proves beyond doubt that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, the evidence gathered in a 12-page annex is hard to interpret in any other way. Concerted efforts by Western intelligence agencies and the Israelis to sabotage the Iranian programme have been less effective than was previously believed. Iran has already begun moving part of its uranium-enrichment capacity to Fordow, a facility buried deep within a mountain near Qom. Intelligence sources estimate that if Iran opted to "break out" from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), it could have at least one workable weapon within a year and a few more about six months after that. Iran's leaders may not choose that path. But what happens next depends less on Iran's technical or industrial capabilities than on politics. For the time being at least, ambiguity almost certainly serves Iran's purposes better than a confrontation. But in Israel, talk of a pre-emptive attack against Iran's nuclear facilities is increasing. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
