Iran Situation

11.27.13: In Toronto Star Nov 25th.

Very controversial position taken by Obama.

Iran is in a power struggle with the big 5 and wants to be one of them ... makes me very concerned.
How can you blame them? A number of countries have nuclear bomb capability, including Pakistan.

It may be a poor decision, as it just provides more time for Iran to develop (and hide) bomb grade enriched uranium. They already have over 18,000 facilities for making enriched uranium at close to bomb level.
It also provides money to Iran, as it relaxes the trade restrictions put in place to force agreement.

It may prove to be a good move, if Iran does go along with the stopping of the enrichment pgm (for more than the 6 months agreed to).

In my opinion, Iran will not stop their enrichment pgm under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and without much more stringent trade restrictions. They want to be a main world power and think a nuclear bomb is the way.

Quite a few countries will watch very closely the results of the daily inspections to be done as part of this temporary agreement.

I am waiting to see what happens when Iran finds ways to impact the quality (and bandwidth) of these daily inspections.

What do you think?
