La columnista israeliana Caroline Glick, ho deixa molt clar en un article de gran interès que publica al "Jerusalem Post".
The agreement stipulates that the European-3 will provide Iran with light water reactor fuel, enhanced trade relations and more nuclear reactors. In exchange, the Iranians agree that for the duration of the negotiations toward implementing the agreement – including a European push for Iranian ascension to the World Trade Organization – it will not develop centrifuges and will not enrich uranium. At the same time, the Europeans accepted Iran's claim that it has the legal right to complete the entire nuclear fuel cycle – meaning, it has the legal right to enrich uranium. Strangely, in a separate Iranian agreement with the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, the Iranians announced that they would cease enriching uranium effective Monday, November 22, rather than immediately. This apparently annoyed the Europeans, but it wasn't a deal breaker.Per confirmar les males intencions de l'Iran, fa només unes hores que diplomàtics acreditats a les Nacions Unides a Viena, en concret a l'Agència Internacional de l'Energia Atòmica, han revelat que Teheran està fabricant importants quantitats d'un gas radioactiu que pot ser utilitzat en la fabricació d'armes nuclears.
The Weekly Standard this week explained that light water reactor fuel of the type that the Europeans have agreed to give Iran can be used to produce bomb material within nine weeks. Since the IAEA inspectors only visit Iran every three months, it would be a simple matter to divert enough light water fuel to produce a bomb between inspections. And so, the agreement itself holds the promise of direct European assistance to Iran's nuclear weapons program.
While the Europeans were congratulating themselves for their feckless diplomacy, the Iranians were taking to the airwaves and arguing that they gave up nothing in the deal and received everything. Hamid Reza Asefi, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said the suspension of nuclear activities would last only until Iran and the Europeans reached a long-term agreement. For his part, Iranian chief nuclear negotiator Hassan Rowhani said that enriching uranium is "Iran's right, and Iran will never give up its right to enrich uranium."
Iran's interest in making the deal is clear. The IAEA governing board is set to meet next week to discuss Iran's nuclear program. By agreeing to the deal with the Europeans, Iran has effectively foreclosed the option, favored by the US, of transferring Iran's nuclear program to the UN Security Council for discussions that could lead to sanctions on Iran.
VIENNE (AP) - L'Iran met à profit les derniers jours avant la suspension de son programme d'enrichissement d'uranium pour produire des quantités importantes d'un gaz pouvant être utilisé dans la fabrication d'armes nucléaires, ont rapporté vendredi à Vienne des diplomates. Selon ces diplomates, qui ont requis l'anonymat, l'Iran a récemment entamé la production d'hexafluorure d'uranium à son usine d'Isfahan, dans le centre du pays. Passé à la centrifugeuse, l'hexafluorure d'uranium permet d'obtenir de l'uranium enrichi à des degrés divers.
L'enrichissement de l'uranium consiste à augmenter la proportion d'uranium 235 contenu dans l'uranium naturel. Hautement enrichi, l'uranium est utilisé pour fabriquer des charges nucléaires. Moins enrichi, il alimente les centrales nucléaires. L'Iran dispose d'importantes réserves d'uranium et a annoncé ses projets d'en extraire plus de 40 tonnes par an, de quoi fabriquer en théorie environ 100kg d'uranium hautement enrichi, quantité suffisante pour confectionner cinq armes nucléaires.
A Washington, le porte-parole adjoint du Département d'Etat Adam Ereli a déclaré que ces nouvelles informations "ne font qu'accroître" les "inquiétudes" des Etats-Unis au sujet du fait que "l'Iran poursuit ses activités nucléaires et n'honore pas ses engagements". AP
