Iran Nuclear Watch: Israel – A “FEW MONTHS” to Avoid a Nuclear Iran

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivers a speech in the opening ceremony of the XIV Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Havana, 15 September. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has proposed setting up uranium enrichment centres under UN control to end nuclear disputes like the one over Iran.

Reuters: Israel says ‘a few months’ to avoid nuclear Iran

Israel’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said on Sunday that the world may have as little as “a few months” to avoid a nuclear Iran and called for sanctions.

“The crucial moment is not the day of the bomb. The crucial moment is the day in which Iran will master the enrichment, the knowledge of enrichment,” she said on CNN’s “Late Edition.”

Livni, whose country is the only Middle East power possessing nuclear weapons, said she did not want to identify a point of “no return” in the controversy over Iran’s nuclear program.

The Iranians, she said, “are trying to send a message that it’s too late, you can stop your attempts because it’s too late. It’s not too late. They have a few more months,” she said.

“The world cannot afford a nuclear Iran,” Livni said. “I believe that this is time for sanctions.”

United Nations Security Council sanctions are LONG overdue. But, if Israel is correct then sanctions will do little to persuade Iran to halt uranium enrichment.

When a “POINT OF NO RETURN” is reached ONLY military action by the United States and Israel will stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
