Iran to Become a Muscular Nuclear Tiger
(Ha'aretz) Ari Shavit - The Iranian negotiating team succeeded in destroying completely the sanctions mechanism that had been activated against Iran. It also managed to prevent real, effective supervision of secret, unknown nuclear sites. Consequently, if the Islamic Republic decides to develop a covert nuclear program, it will have no difficulty doing so. The chance of its getting caught is low and the chance of reactivating the sanctions is slim. The Vienna agreement recognizes Iran's right to develop advanced centrifuges. This means that the international community is actually ensuring the establishment of a new Iranian nuclear program, which will be immeasurably more powerful and dangerous than its predecessor. In fact the Iranians are giving up an outdated deployment in order to build an innovative, legitimate one, with the world's permission. It will lead to Iran becoming a muscular nuclear tiger with an ability to produce dozens of nuclear bombs.
