Iran Rushing to Build Nuclear Bomb: West, Act NOW

Peloni:  The time to stop Iran is not today, but a decade ago, or a decade before that.  Indeed, the window of opportunity has drawn to all but being closed and yet the West continues to act as if either they have time to accept delay or that they have an honest partner in negotiations in the Mullahs ruling Iran.  The truth is that both of these beliefs are false, and it does appear somewhat transparent that this is actually the case.  The Mullahs mean to subjugate and destroy not only Israel, but the entire Western world, and to prevent this from taking place, action against Iran’s nuclear capabilities needs to be taken NOW, as the author explains.

• Iran has also been installing more advanced centrifuges, increasing its capacity to enrich uranium faster than ever.

• A nuclear-armed Iran poses an existential threat not only to the “Little Satan,” Israel, and the “Great Satan,” the US, but to all the oil-rich Gulf countries in the Middle East.
• The task is not just about protecting Israel, Europe and the US; it is about preventing…. the mother of all arms-races throughout the Middle East.
• The least the West can do is help to prevent one of the most dangerous regimes on Earth from obtaining weapons of mass destruction – before it proceeds to a nuclear breakout.

Iran is moving at an alarming speed to develop nuclear weapons and advancing its uranium enrichment at an unprecedented rate. The latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provides a chilling confirmation of Iran’s intentions.

According to the IAEA, Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% purity — just a short step away from weapons-grade material — has increased by 92.5 kilograms since November. This brings its total stockpile of highly enriched uranium to approximately 275 kilograms, an amount sufficient to produce at least six nuclear bombs if further enriched to 90%. Iran has also been installing more advanced centrifuges, increasing its capacity to enrich uranium faster than ever.
