A Nuclear-armed Islamic Republic of Iran: 8 months or less

[eyer]

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told Europe-1 radio Sunday that unspecified experts "have established in an absolutely indisputable way" that Iran has compiled a full array of centrifuges that "apparently will allow the ability to go toward possession of the nuclear weapon by the first half of next year, the end of the first half." He did not elaborate.

Western nations fear Iran may turn its uranium enrichment program toward making weapons, a growing concern as Tehran expands the number of machines it uses to enrich uranium.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

because rough men stand ready
to do violence on their behalf.

Now tell us all, boy...

...how peacefully you sleep in your bed at night, leaving your doors unlocked because you don't believe in "an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary".

Republican vice presidential nominee Paul D. Ryan attacked the Obama administration for doing too little to stop Iran from moving ahead with its suspect nuclear program, claiming that Iran now has enriched enough uranium to build five nuclear bombs.

That isn’t quite true. The claim is based on a spring report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency, which inspects Iran’s nuclear sites every month. But the report said the material is low enriched uranium, and would have to be refined to a 90% purity to be used in a nuclear weapon, a complex process that Iran has not begun and that the U.N. inspectors would detect.
