President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran could not have picked a better time to be both defiant and adamant about his nuclear ambitions. Not only are there widespread disagreements in the international community about whether or not Iran is a danger and whether or not it should be stopped, the nations with the will and the means to stop Iran militarily are politicially unable to do so. An international high-stakes hot potato game has begun.

Nuclear Iran - Passing the Hot Potato
Published November 23rd, 2006 in Middle East and Iran. 0 CommentsThe IAEA found trace amounts of plutonium and enriched uranium in an Iranian waste facility today.
Well now, Mr. Ahmadinejad, how are you going to spin that one? If all that Iran wants is ‘peaceful nuclear energy’, why does it need plutonium? Are you still going to deny that as I’m writing this you’re building a heavy water research reactor in Arak to produce the plutonium you’d need to rain destruction on, oh I don’t know, Israel? For the time being, the Iranian President has been busy continuing his act as a friendly neighborhood dictator who simply wants cheaper energy for all his citizens.
