Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu visited the nuclear reactor facility in Demon Tuesday in Possible Hint to Iran.
The visit was publicized in a news release by the Prime Minister’s Office after it took place, in what observers say could be a message directed at Iran, which has threatened to hit the site if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities. Netanyahu’s bureau stated that it was Netanyahu’s first routine visit to the facility since he became Prime Minister.
Earlier in the day, Defense Minister Ehud Baraka said of the Iranian threat and U.S attempts at engagement: “We are not in a position to tell the Americans what to do, but we recommend that they present a tight schedule with waypoints, with preparation for coordinated sanctions, in case this dialogue fails to bring about the desired results” Baraka also said of the efforts to solve the crisis through negotiation: “From past experience we learned that these kinds of things did not succeed…I saw, in my previous roles, the past experience with Pakistan, North Korea, and the similarity between those cases and Iran is amazing and troubling”
Iran has the technology to create a nuclear weapon within a year, the “London Times” reported Monday. If Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei gives the go-ahead to build a bomb, "We assess they have to enrich low-enriched uranium to highly-enriched uranium at the Natanz plant, which could take six months, depending on how many centrifuges are operating. We don’t know if the decision was made yet,” Western intelligence sources said. It would take another six months to assemble a warhead.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said last week that Israel still views a military strike against Iran’s nuclear plant as a viable option in case talks fail. Senior U.S. officials Robert Gates and General James Jones, who met with Israeli leaders last week, gave Iran a one-month deadline to make a positive move about its nuclear ambitions. Meanwhile, the U.S. Pentagon announced on Sunday its intention to accelerate the building of a bomb that could penetrate reinforced bunkers in Iran.

1. Assuming that Iran is really developing Nuclear weapons, doesn’t Iran have the right to do so? After all, Israel and many other countries have a nuclear plants and atomic bombs, and 2. Isn’t it obvious that Israel is pushing the USA to launch an attack against Iran on her behalf; warring by proxy?
