Since then, Iran has stepped up its uranium enrichment far beyond the limits of the accord. The construction comes five years after then-President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the nuclear accord. With Iran now producing uranium close to weapons-grade levels after the collapse of its nuclear deal with world powers, the installation complicates the West’s efforts to halt Iran from potentially developing an atomic bomb as diplomacy over its nuclear program remains stalled. The Islamic Republic denies it is seeking nuclear weapons, though officials in Tehran now openly discuss their ability to pursue one. Excavation mounds at the site suggest the facility could be between 80 meters (260 feet) and 100 meters (328 feet) under the ground, according to experts and AP’s analysis. Photos and videos of Iran’s new facility from Planet Labs PBC show Iran has been digging tunnels near the Natanz nuclear site, which has come under repeated sabotage attacks over the years. He has said international diplomacy should be accompanied by a serious military option and hinted that Israel would be prepared to strike Iran on its own if necessary. Hegemony, subjugation and coercion always fail in the end, as we saw amply.Israel considers Iran to be its greatest enemy and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said he will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Justice, equality in norms application and peacemaking beget same. TPNW must be universalized and accepted by all countries (highly unlikely). It has and will lead to only more global instability, arms race and conflict. The self-selected classification of nuclear weapon haves and have-nots is unsustainable. Nuclear Weapon States and their umbrella States are violating Article VI with impunity. As to nuclear proliferation, it is time that facade of NPT is abolished. Is there one thing that signals any smart American or Israeli policy maker that Iran changed its policies in the face of massive pressure, sanctions and incursions that have been used against it? US, Israel and their allies will certainly be pushed further in conflict quagmire unless a fundamental policy rethink occurs (highly unlikely). Conflict has only intensified between them. Sure enough, Pakistan went nuclear and exploded its own nuclear bombs, one more to ram the message. India thought the same, greater deterrence with nuclear explosion and Pakistan would immediately be cowed down. Staggering to see same naivete of State department officials despite failures in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and beyond. Biden wanted to put “diplomacy first and see where that takes us,” adding that “if diplomacy fails, we’re ready to turn to other options.” Bennett made clear that Israel’s goal “is to permanently keep Iran from ever being able to break out to a nuclear weapon.…We will never outsource our security.” In their banter, Biden and Bennett occupied positions eerily similar to those of Bush and Olmert. Iran’s nuclear program was at the top of the agenda as President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took questions from reporters. What at first blush seems to be a historical footnote takes on new meaning in the shadow of the August 2021 White House meeting between today’s US and Israeli leaders. Your strategy is very disturbing to me.” Two months later, Israeli aircraft struck and destroyed the reactor. “I told him I decided on a diplomatic option backed by the threat of force.” Olmert’s response was direct: “I must be honest and sincere with you. In his memoir, Bush reports that on July 13, 2007, after extensive consultation with his national security staff, he conveyed his answer to Olmert. Bush to attack Al Kibar, a suspected nuclear reactor for military purposes that Israeli intelligence had discovered in the remote Deir al-Zour region of northeast Syria. LOS ANGELES – “George, I am asking you to bomb the plant.” Fourteen years have passed since Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called upon US President George W.
