Iran has material for 1-2 atom bombs: ex-IAEA aide

At what point is somebody going to throw in the Towel , or cry Uncle on this whole screwed up situation ?

It is beginning to look like The United States really does not have much leverage in the whole Scheme of things , We are always portrayed as the Bad Guys no matter what we do .

Israel is holding Back (Maybe a change of Heart , or a lot of Pressure?)

Forget the U.N.

I say let em go ahead with their Nuclear Dreams , Just Wipe them from the Face of the Earth when they Finally Strike someone .


(Reuters) - Iran has stockpiled enough low-enriched uranium for 1-2 nuclear arms but it would not make sense for it to cross the bomb-making threshold with only this amount, a former top U.N. nuclear official was quoted as saying.

In unusual public remarks about Iran's disputed nuclear programme Olli Heinonen, the former chief of U.N. nuclear inspections worldwide, told Le Monde newspaper that Iran's uranium reserve still represented a "threat."

Until he stepped down earlier this month for personal reasons, Heinonen was deputy director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency and head of its nuclear safeguards department, which verifies that countries' nuclear programmes are not being diverted for military use...


In the interview published on Thursday, Heinonen said the Islamic Republic now possessed three tonnes of low-enriched uranium, material which can be used to fuel nuclear power plants, or form the core of a bomb if refined much further.

"In theory, it is enough to make one or two nuclear arms. But to reach the final step, when one only has just enough material for two weapons, does not make sense," Heinonen said in the interview carried out just before he left office.
