IRAN NUKE IN 2010: CHINA CHASTISES U. S.

mushroom-cloudA secret intelligence dossier currently being reviewed by US, Israeli, German, and Austrian governments reveals secret Iranian tests and hierarchies of power dedicated to the successful development of a nuclear bomb, and predicts that Iran will have a primitive nuclear bomb by year’s end – 2010..

According to the classified document featured in an exposé by Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine December issue, Iran is well on its way toward obtaining its first nuclear bomb. The country’s nuclear research program, it turns out, has a military wing answering to the Defense Ministry which the West was not aware of until now.

This could explain a U. S. Naval surge into the Persian Gulf where now two score warships are patrolling and adding anti-missile capabilities including an Aegis class cruiser. Secretary of State Clinton recently called for a “defensive shield” over U. S. regional allies apparently vindicating VP Biden’s admonition to “get used” to a nuclear armed Iran.

The U. S. has impotently called for more sanctions against Iran that Iran has shrugged off and which  China clearly will not support rendering them useless.

In fact China’s critical support for Obama backed sanctions took another step backwards with the announcement of a multi-billion dollar  U. S. arms sale to Taiwan. In fact China has threatened to slap sanctions on American companies that sell arms to its rival Taiwan as part of a range of punitive actions Beijing is taking to protest the deal.

China also summoned U.S. ambassador Jon Huntsman to express its anger over Washington’s announcement.

 

Beijing also suspended plans for visits between the Chinese and U.S. militaries and postponed a high-level arms control meeting, it announced Saturday, following Washington’s $6.4-billion arms deal with Taiwan.

 

The prospects of a nuclear armed Iran is sobering and threatening to its neighbors, Israel and the U. S. given the liklihood Teheran would be tempted to support a nuke to a terrorist group that would use it.

 

Such an event would belatedly mark the end of Obama’s ineffective and chaotic foreign policy.
