Iran's Clenched Fist
[Chicago Tribune] Editorial - Is Iran unclenching its fist, responding to Obama's inaugural address? Or just posturing to buy more time for its nuclear ambitions? We'd bet on the latter. There are upward of 4,000 centrifuges churning out enriched uranium in Iran. Iran has enough enriched uranium to build a bomb. The Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control said Iran will have enough enriched uranium for a second bomb by June or earlier, and enough for a third bomb no later than November. Years of talks with the Europeans and several rounds of UN Security Council sanctions have yielded nothing. Right now, Iran's fist is still clenched.
