Iran Deception, Nuclear Enrichment and Israel

The old smoke and mirrors is still being used by Iran concerning their nuclear program that only an idiot would believe is being developed for peaceful purposes.

Ahmadinejad says this about nuclear enrichment:

"I (ask) Dr Salehi to start work on the production of 20% fuel using centrifuges," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech, referring to Ali Akbar Salehi, who heads the atomic energy body.

"We are interested in cooperation with the West, but if they want to keep playing games with the Iranian nation, then we must be prepared and enrich uranium at 20% ourselves," the president said.

But he added: "The doors for interaction are still open." Ahmadinejad also said Iran had the capability to enrich uranium using laser technology, without elaborating. (From Ynet News)

Ahmadinejad instructs the head of the Iranian nuclear program to proceed to have nuclear centrifuges to enrich uranium to 20%. Then almost with the same breath publicly say Iran is still interested in “cooperation” and “interaction” with the West.

It sounds like a diplomatic channel saying to the effect, “I have a chip on my shoulder. I dare you to knock it off.” The chip is the 20% enrichment. The dare is the cooperation and interaction.

Someone tell me how that it works out to be good faith negotiation with the West to not enrich weapons grade uranium?

Here is another no-brainer piece of information. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not the only high level Iranian to assert Israel will not be around in existence much longer. Indeed Supreme Leader (the buck stops here boss) Ayatollah Khamenei has said, “With God's help, Israel's disappearance is certain”. (From the same Ynet News article above)

And to whom was Khamenei addressing this statement? Killer Khamenei was addressing Secretary-General Ramadan Salah of the virulently evil Palestinian Islamic terrorist organization known as Islamic Jihad.

Khamenei’s public words seem to line up with Caroline Glick’s thoughts that a major regional war is imminent with Israel.
