IRAN'S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS

A look at the Israeli response to Iran's nuclear ambitions

Nov 29, 2009
Iran announced 10 new nuclear facilities, supposedely for civilian power production. This announcement comes on the heels of the controversy over Irans secret facility discovered at Qom about a month ago. As one commentator sees it, "the U.S. has drawn a line in the sand and the Iranians have come up to that line and kicked the sand in our faces". The Obama administration is faced with some tough choices in future. If diplomacy fails, there will be no other choice but to bomb these facilities. If the United States does not act, the Isralies most certainly will.
