1. Iran stocking up on Uranium
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (05.31.10)
Sure, now that the world has its eyes on Israel, Iran is doing whatever it wants. Another plan by the Muslims.
2. As they write in good Westerns-"Meanwhile back at the ranch.

3. Iran is not worried becuase...
Persian CAT   (05.31.10)
it is allowing IAEA all the required access to its nuclear facilities that are engaged in open and legal nuclear enrichment activities. Israel on the other hand rejects the international community's demand to join the NPT. Israel's refusal to allow IAEA inspection is proof positive that it is a threat to the staility of the region and the world at large. Israel must be confronted to counter the threat it clearly poses to the world.
4. How dishonest can this article be?
Dustin ,   Omaha, NE   (05.31.10)
"stockpiled over 2,400 kilograms of low-enriched uranium. That is twice the amount needed to make fissile nuclear warhead material. " Everyone with an IQ above double digits knows that a nuclear warhead cannot be made with ANY amount of low-enriched uranium. Israel needs to stop pointing their finger at Iran, when Israel has hundreds of nukes and Iran is a signatory to the NNPT.

Well, Well. Look at Nathanyahu and Lieberman and take a look Ahmadi-mad. Compare the PR campaign both running. The last poll conducted showed that Israel had just marginally better image than Iran, despite all the brain washing by our Western media, of creating negative image etc. And look at the blunder after blunder by our politicians, first we are demanded in the NPT conference, then we reject so called International Call to attend the conference on restricting and abolishing Nuclear weapons in the middle east and of course, today the great achievement of our leaders, of attacking a humanitarian convoy, in International waters, boarding it and claiming that people on board resisted the IDF, in International waters. Ahmadi-mad killed so many after the last June election and look how many we have killed. Are we digging our grave with this Cowboy attitude. Are the likes of Netanyahu, Livini et al going to bury us, or are we going to wake up, have true leaders who can understand that the game of "all or nothing" will leave us with nothing at the end of the road. The European attitude of hating the Arabs and the rest is going to destroy us. Will my people, for their own sake, wake up, think and act and not act first and try to cover it up with propaganda. Has any one, including Palestinians or Ahmadi-mad done as much damage to Israel, or threatened our existence as much as our Israeli politician who run wars when in power, and are investigated for corruption as soon as they are out of office. Will we ever wake up for heaven sake and understand that what has protected Israel this far is Nuclear Weapons but the good will, and the guilt in the West. Shame on Netanyahu, Lieberman, Barak and the rest of them. These have to be tried for war crime, not in the Hague, but in Israel and within our judicial system. That will show to the world that Chosen ones, are the REAL CHOSEN ONES. May G—d save us from ourselves.

2,400 kilograms of low-enriched Uranium are needed to further enrich to produce high-enriched Uranium. Considering that natural Uranium contains 0.711% U-235, the active fissile part of the element, and the rest is U-238. The further process of purification eventually results in weapons-grade material, with %20 being the accepted limit - anything above that is about producing more viable weaponry, nothing more, a higher-efficiency bomb. Iran's on that road. And as for the NPT, Israel never signed it, never used any nuclear weapons, or even threatened to use them against. Iran did sign the NPR, and broke it. So who, do tell, is worse?
