Obama to Israel: Iran is piling up fissile material for 4-6 bombs - in Natanz too
Barack Obama this week clued Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu in on the latest US intelligence input confirming
that Iran will have enough enriched uranium for 4-6 bombs by March 2013,
debkafile reports
from its Washington and intelligence sources. His update, which took
place in the framework of quiet US-Israeli intelligence-sharing on the
state of Iran’s nuclear program, was Obama’s first acknowledgment that
sanctions and diplomatic pressure are not having any effect on that
program.
It is now clear to his administration that Iran’s leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei will press on toward a nuclear weapon capacity at any price -
even if faced with a military threat. No pause is to be expected in
Iran’s drive to accumulate enough enriched uranium to fuel a nuclear
bomb arsenal, while advancing at the same time along a second track
toward a plutonium bomb.
