Iranians took to the streets to celebrate Revolution Day and hear President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proudly declare the country is now a “nuclear state.” Its Natanz plant successfully produced 20% enriched uranium, capable as fuel for nuclear power plants but also as atomic weapons. Guess which purpose Ahmadinejad has in mind?
‘We have the capability to enrich uranium more than 20 percent or 80 percent (the level needed to create an atomic bomb),’ he said in a speech broadcast live on state television.
‘But we don’t enrich (to this level) because we don’t need it…
‘When we say we do not manufacture the bomb, we mean it, and we do not believe in manufacturing a bomb,’ he told the crowd. ‘If we wanted to manufacture a bomb we would announce it.’
More electricity for Iranians? Give me a break. To do what, ensure the Internet and cell towers stay up all the time for its citizens?!
I am sure that we’ll be hearing about a nuclear bomb from Iran in the not-so-distant future. And the sad thing is that we shouldn’t be surprised when that happens because he has been telling the world about his nuclear ambitions.
See the photos of the demonstration? Notice that many signage are done in English. Yes, they know America is watching.
They know America is doing nothing. They are taunting us. Or specifically, the Obama administration.
President Ahmadinejad has publicly threatened our ally Israel and voiced his determination to become a nuclear power. Well, he has reached one of his main goals.
The world has just become a more dangerous place.
