Understanding the crucial geography was critical to undermine Iran. The destruction of key locations that had a history would demoralize the army, being able to follow the flow of crucial rivers and its content would bring them to the most likely place for a nuclear weapons site to be located.
Unfortunately for the Iranians the selection of a hidden site was perfect in terms of concealment, it was by necessity close to volcanoes and untapped oil reserves.
The Mora brothers idolized irony, they took an ironic to mean they were correct in their assumptions.
The volcanoes and oil functioned as a natural protection. Being from a strong religious background and remembered a verse from Psalm 18:2-3;
“The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
A Buckler is a metaphoric name for God as a shield. How perfect to their sense of justice that this natural shield could be used to destroy their enemies.
By aiming precisely with the right bomb they could create a massive explosion that would destroy Iran’s missile dreams, and with the right amount of luck cause a massive

The memory for most Americans of that generation was idyllic and was reinforced further by shows such as “Leave it to Beaver”, and “Father knows Best”. This facade of America exists to this day as a time of peace and stability and a time of uneventful politics. In reality there is probably not a decade in American history were future events would not be irrevocably shaped for better and worse. It is unimaginable that a man and his wife were sentenced to death in the 50’s for the crime of espionage, and action today that would draw huge international protests and
Christ, now with 210 Pol the Pakistanis now had their nuclear detonators, but of course they still have no way of producing a Nuclear weapon just all by themselves without the precision equipment to manufacture
No action taken by the regime has been more dangerous than its pursuit of nuclear weapons — and the means of delivering them.
Weapons of mass destruction and terrorism have become the two major focuses on the international stage in today’s world. The ultimate fear of the United States is the possibility that nuclear weapons might be placed in the hands of terrorist organizations and states, which might use such weapons to attack other countries. Iran and North Korea possess large scale nuclear proliferation programs, which have recently become much larger threats to the world. North Korea, which was previously bound by a non-proliferation treaty with the United States, recently broke the treaty by resuming its nuclear programs. The United States has been unsuccessful in persuading North Korea to resume compliance with the agreement. Iran, on the other hand, is much more deceptive in its nuclear programs. When nuclear proliferation was recently discovered to have resumed in Iran, Iranian officials explained that they were producing uranium (the “main ingredient” in nuclear weapons) for national energy resources. Thomas Omestad of U.S. News and World Report states that “Iran intends to convert 37 tons of ‘yellowcake’ uranium oxide into uranium hexafluoride, a gas that in turn could be used to produce enough highly enriched uranium for five nuclear bombs” (Omestad 38). Richard Russell of Parameters quotes Iranian President
God is our shepherd. He provides for us and keeps us safe. The world is helpless without him. God has provided everything we need to survive. This psalm is the only psalm that I read and actually liked.
In contradiction to U.S. goals, Iran’s interest lay in becoming the dominant power in the Persian Gulf region and the Islamic world. It has gone about this by being a catalyst for much of the turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa. Iran has supported terrorist groups, instigated uprisings in neighboring countries, pursued a nuclear program and is regarded by some as a threat to global stability and Western Civilization (Barrett, 2012).
The second path, is that Iran would need tens of thousands of centrifuges to create such weapons. A centrifuge is a machine used to separate matters that have different densities. Iran currently has just under 20,000 centrifuges in their possession but with the agreement in place Iran must reduce their centrifuge hold down to only 6,104. This is roughly 1/3 of the amount of centrifuges needed in making these bombs. Another path that Iran could have possibly gone through
Amongst the numerous reasons for Iran’s desire to have nuclear weapons is the innate insecurity and fear of possible attacks by the neighboring countries and their allies. An illustration
Iran’s current nuclear program is made up of 20,000 gas centrifuges at 3 major facilities. There is a large nuclear power reactor operating in Iran, and two more are planned for construction. The country also has a major program developing uranium enrichment, which was concealed for many years. Iran is now limiting its enrichment-related activities and ceasing its work on heavy water-related projects, under an internationally-agreed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Most enriched uranium has now been removed from the country.
Iran became an Islamic republic in 1979 after the ruling monarchy was overthrown and Shah Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI was forced into exile (World Factbook, 2014). The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of those interesting countries that most everyone thinks is solely an enormous desert, but in reality it is a whole lot more than just a desert where nobody lives. Iran is important when it comes to the definition of a culture, physical geography and military conflict history, weather analysis, civil considerations, and people.
In recent years, countries around the world have become increasingly concerned with Iran’s nuclear weapon capabilities. Iran currently has 19,000 centrifuges that process Uranium, enough to manufacture powerful nuclear bombs that it could potentially use against western countries (Tirone). When questioned about its motive for having nuclear capabilities, Iran has insisted that it only plans to use such technology for peaceful purposes and wants to enjoy the “right” to nuclear development (Tirone). Their reasoning may be legitimate; nuclear technology may lead to cleaner, cheaper energy. However, western countries have had growing suspicions of Iran’s motives for holding nuclear capabilities due to Iran’s bellicose past. This has created tensions between Iran
This Essay will attempt to evaluate and discuss the belief that the USA and Europe needs a stable Iran to promote security in the Middle East, but not a nuclear Iran. Firstly, this essay will address Iran’s current status and role in the Middle East, and how Iran is rising to become a regional power. It will explore the current Iranian regime, and address how politics and policy are being influenced, under the Ayatollah’s leadership. It will also address how radical Islam is currently growing in the Middle East, how religion has come to the forefront of politics, and what that means for the West. Secondly, this essay will offer some thoughts on the dangers of a nuclear Iran, which could either create greater insecurity, due to Iran’s motives and objectives for wanting to acquire them, or it could offer possible benefits of balancing power with Israel, as well as potential benefits for Iran, in pursuing nuclear development for peaceful means. It will also give a brief history on Iran’s stance and support for terrorism, whether that be through economic means, or giving terrorists a safe haven, and how this could be a threat if Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons. Thirdly, this essay will explore the U.S. and Europe’s perspective on Iran’s role in the Middle East, and why they do not want to see a
Psalms 91:2-4 – “I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers,
Just as a solution gains greater volume but is less concentrated when more solvent is added, the Persian empire expanded in territory and lost the richness of their culture. Herodotus and Aeschylus use their works as propaganda to show the Persians lose their culture because of their imperialism. As the power of the Persian Empire increases, the Persian people abandon their culture in favor of the wealth and power they gain through conquest.
The commentary is formulated in a symbolic sphere as a code of what it wishes to comment on in order to subvert it. In that sense it would be crucial to consider irony as a kind of interpretation or a twisted replication of what it targets. Moreover, irony could be perceived as an aspect of the relationship between a Subject and an Object. The ironist is the Subject and the Object is the topic of critique. In continuation, the ironic schema is presented to another person or group of persons with the expectation of the other’s
“Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
