Iran has enough fuel to make a nuclear bomb: NYT |
Iran has created enough nuclear fuel to make a rapid, but a risky sprint for a nuclear weapon, according to American intelligence agencies. The new intelligence reports
delivered to the White House say that the country has deliberately stopped short
of the critical last steps to make a bomb, The New York Times reports. The American
ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency declared on Wednesday that
Iran now had what he called a "possible breakout capacity" if it decided to enrich
its stockpile of uranium, converting it to bomb-grade material. Ambassador Glyn
Davies was intended to put pressure on American allies to move toward far more
severe sanctions against Iran this month, if it failed to take up President Barack
Obama's invitation for serious negotiations. But it could also complicate the
Obama administration's efforts to persuade an increasingly impatient Israeli Government
to give diplomacy more time to work, and hold off from a military strike against
Iran , the paper reports. Iran has maintained that its continuing enrichment program
is for peaceful purposes, that the uranium is solely for electric power and that
its scientists have never researched weapons design. |
