Ayoon Wa Azan (He Will Wake Up Screaming “I've Been Robbed!”)
Published in AL HAYAT on 29 - 10 - 2009

To say it once again, I hope that Iran is lying, that it is actively seeking to build a nuclear bomb, and that it will succeed in building a nuclear arsenal that is as powerful as Israel's. Once again as well, I call on the Arab countries to seek to acquire nuclear weapons with which they can confront Israel, rather than exclusively confronting their own peoples.
However, my wishes are one thing, and reality is another: first of all, Iran does not have a military nuclear program, and second, the Arab government prefer to oppress the Arab people because the latter is probably a bigger menace to these regimes than Israel - along with its nuclear arsenal - is.
Meanwhile, we hear the Israeli leaders, i.e. the same known terrorists and thieves, say that the Iranian nuclear program poses an existential threat to Israel. This is of course an absolute lie since Iran is not pursuing a military nuclear program, and even if it should ever acquire a nuclear weapon, it will still not be able to threaten Israel since the latter is more powerful, and even more so with the United States behind it.
Nonetheless, the Israelis have declared war against a [nuclear] program that does not exist, and have been inciting the United States against it but to no avail ever since Barack Obama moved to the White House; every thief and terrorist in both government and opposition [in Israel] said that all options remain on the table, or in other words, that there will be an Israeli military strike against Iran if the West did not succeed in suspending its nuclear program, and specifically its enrichment of uranium.
The reality, however, is as follows:
The Natanz reactor near Tehran was built during the Shah's days in Iran in 1975, with the help of the US under the “Atoms for Peace” program to produce medical radioactive isotopes and other material. It is a 5-megawatt, light-water type reactor. In the beginning, the US supplied Iran with uranium of over 90 percent enrichment, which was actually suitable to produce a nuclear bomb. After the initial fuel load was used up, Iran sought to procure more nuclear fuel, and acquired uranium that was enriched to 19.75 from Argentina. This fuel was in turn consumed, and no other country has since supplied Iran with additional fuel.
Iran's ability to enrich uranium through the centrifuges (aluminium tubes) that it has cannot produce uranium that is enriched beyond 5 percent, although the civilian reactor itself requires uranium enriched to 19.75 percent. Also, the nuclear bomb requires uranium that has been enriched past 90 percent, which is not in Iran's ability to produce, be it in the reactor in Natanz or in the other reactor that Iran revealed to be near Qom near the beginning of last month.
The deal with the six major powers in Vienna last week stipulated that Tehran would ship 75 percent of its nuclear material, or about 1200 kilograms, to Russia to be enriched to the required level to operate the nuclear reactor, and then transported to France where it is refurbished into fuel rods before eventually being returned to Iran.
If the uranium was returned to Iran after having been enriched to the required level, its quantity will be about 120 Kilograms; this is enough to operate the Natanz reactor at full load for a period of 6 to 13 years, and for 11 to 21 years at a lesser capacity.
Where does a nuclear bomb fit in all of this? My information is accurate, and is coming from experts on the subject. It is all published, and Israel cannot deny it, and yet, the Israelis are threatening Iran with a military strike that can unleash a war or many wars in the Middle East, all in order to pre-empt a threat that has never existed, and that will not come to existence in the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, the U.S Intelligence claims that Iran can produce one nuclear bomb within a period ranging between one and five years; however, this big difference in estimating the number of years itself reveals how ignorant the Americans are about Iran's capabilities. In fact, the first Iranian reactor was revealed to exist by the Iranian opposition, and not the American spy satellites or spies on the ground, while the second reactor was revealed to exist by Iran itself, in order to pre-empt the Americans or Europeans declaring its existence.
If Iran will be able to produce a nuclear bomb in the end, it will not succeed in doing so before five or ten years from now, and perhaps even it will never succeed. However, the impostor Benjamin Netanyahu does not negotiate about the settlements or the entire occupation, because all of this does not matter; instead, he wants the United States to focus on Iran's bomb because it is more important (or on recognizing Israel as a Jewish state prior to any negotiations.)
If there isn't a nuclear bomb in Iran's possession, then what is the latter negotiating with the United States about? They are in fact bargaining over the spoils in the Middle East; tomorrow, the Arabs will wake up and scream “We've Been Robbed!” just like they did when Palestine was stolen, and when they did nothing to liberate it and then lost what had remained of it.
