Iran and the Bomb

According to a report issued by the United Nations Iran has enriched enough uranium to possibly make a nuclear bomb out of. The Nuclear capabilities of Iran have be a major issue in Middle Eastern policies, especially since no one knows the location of all of the nuclear facilities in Iran since they hid their program for 18 years from the international communities. This new information concerning Iran’s nuclear capabilities has cause some tension to develop between the US and Israel over what to do about it. The Israelis feel that this is a huge threat and must be dealt with as swiftly as possible while the US feels like it has time to take it slow and establish good relations. The Israelis have always been kind of pushy on this subject, during the latter part of the Bush administration the Israeli government put in a request for “bunker-busting bombs, the right to fly over Iraq and the refueling capability that they would need to take out Iran’s main enrichment plant at Natanz.” Israel feels that Iran’s nuclear program could be pushed back by six years with a good bombing while American officials believe that that would by us about three months since we don’t know the location of all of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Obama administration is playing it safe a waiting to see what they can achieve with the talks that they are going to open with Iran, after its elections, this is a good move because Americas relations with Israel has be source of conflict with other countries, who believe that America is too nice to Israel, this show that we aren’t afraid to go against them on some issues.
