The big question these days is whether Israel will attack Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactor before the Russians load it with fuel rods on the 21st of this month. We know that the Iranians have a detailed plan in place to attack yet any attack at any time by any one will be tricky and unpredictable. The Iranians will not defer their plans for nuclear weapons and it seems that the world can’t afford to let them have them. I personally believe that if they do acquire nuclear weapons that will not hesitate to attack Israel. I think that am not alone in this belief. The president of Iran feels that it is his duty to blow Israel off of the map. I am not taking sides here just stating the obvious. everyone has the right to defend themselves but everyone shouldn’t be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
Once the reactors are loaded bombing them will result in a deadly release of radiation throughout the region so if the Israelis are going to make a move they need to do it quickly. Israel has made several attacks in the region in the past for the same purpose. They had to conduct bombing raids into Iraq, and Syria for the same purpose. In both instances they conducted the attacks before the nuclear rods were loaded so if history is any indication they will have to make a move very quickly. Once the reactor becomes operational it will only be a short time before it can be used to produce weapons grade plutonium.
The Russians claim that they have an agreement with the Iranians where Iran will return all of the spent fuel rods but the military ring man doesn’t believe that for one minute.
We will see in the next few days what the Israelis or the US will do for that matter but we are at a crucial point in history. Something has to be done by someone and the outcome probably won’t be very pretty.
