British Study concludes that Stuxnet virus helped Iran increase uranium production
ReplyDeleteUK based academic Ivanka Barzashka, an academic at King’s College, London, has found from analyzing data collected by the International Atomic Energy Agency that the Stuxnet malwork attack in 2010 exposed vulnerabilities in Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. Production actually went up in the year after Stuxnet was discovered. Furthermore, the impression in the West that Natanz was under virus attack left the Iranians free to quietly enrich more uranium and hindered diplomatic efforts to hold back a nuclear Iran. Barzashka maintains that Iran has improved centrifuge performance and is enriching uranium to higher concentrations than ever before. Iranian experts have also strengthened defensive capabilities against cyber or hacking attacks. Iran has invested substantial resources in creating a cyber command to deal with a variety of computer security issues.
the british study wants to destroy the iranian economy and that is why they encourage people like you to continue; it is funny how regime supporters now quote british studies to defend their view ...
DeleteA british study has concluded that the iranian government is really undemocratic.
DeleteThe never ending story of 'IRAN Nuclear Talks' between the great nation of IRAN and the world's powers of the most arrogant, boastful and bully nations of the 5+1. That's for sure!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA !!
ReplyDeleteIran should avoid holding these talks till after the election. If khamenei has decided to change course...he will do it thru the new administration. These talks will be used as propeganda to blame iran on not taking talks seriously.
ReplyDeleteI really think khamenei should start the transition into a religious figure head and a guider as oppose to the ultimate ruler of iran...he can still be relevent similar to the british royal family...but in his own way. I fear a lot of people are losing that tiny bit of religion that they had in iran. Which is sad.
Obama Shies from Iran Nuke Deal
ReplyDeleteOfficial Washington’s ideology of “tough-guy-ism” has prevented a potential breakthrough in nuclear talks with Iran. Afraid of being called weak, President Obama has balked at accepting Iran’s right to enrich uranium even at low levels and under international supervision, Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett say.
Yet the Obama administration is no closer than its predecessor to accepting safeguarded enrichment in Iran. This is partly due to pressure from various allies — Israel, Saudi Arabia, Britain, France — and their American supporters, who expect Washington somehow to defy legal principle along with political reality and compel Tehran to surrender indigenous fuel-cycle capabilities.
But the real reason for US obstinacy is that recognizing Iran’s nuclear rights would mean accepting the Islamic Republic as a legitimate entity representing legitimate national interests. No American president since the Iranian Revolution — not even Barack Hussein Obama — has been willing to do this.
Washington’s unwillingness is grounded in unattractive, but fundamental, aspects of American strategic culture: difficulty coming to terms with independent power centers (whether globally or in vital regions like the Middle East); hostility to non-liberal states, unless they subordinate their foreign policies to US preferences (as Egypt did under Sadat and Mubarak); and an unreflective but deeply rooted sense that US-backed norms, rules, and transnational decision-making processes are meant to constrain others, not America itself.
Because these attitudes are so fundamental, it is unlikely Obama will invest the political capital required to bring America’s Iran policy in line with strategic reality before his presidency ends. And so the controversy over Iran’s nuclear activities will grind on.

DeleteCongratulations for your good analysis related to the prospective outcomes.
I also doubt that Obama's mind and the American mentality will embrace any logic, that is hampered by their unreasonable attitudes that "we know better" and that "no one will tell us what to do".
Most of the US decision makers and the public; brainwashed by the certain propaganda, cannot understand that negotiating (for example) with the DPRK, during the 1990s in good faith, would bring today, many cheap North Korea made goods to their Walmart and other stores. They wouldn't have also to spend money for "intimidating" military exercises in South Korea etc. and there were no nuclear weapons in the DPRK possession.
The same applies to the US relation with the Islamic Republic.
Should American attitude follow a logic and a good faith reasoning, then the American population could enjoy cheaper oil prices, due to increased oil supplies, as well as cheaper prices in their food and merchandise stores.
Islamic republic would buy their Boeings too.
The Supreme Leader has been calling for that logic from the US, but it looks like the American lobbies pull the strings in those matters, and that can be seen by the statements from certain and important officials which include J. Clapper.
A-F
no one in the world really gives a crap about the pulings of the Leveretts, fanboy, and anonymous or not, when pushing their pule, you're not pulling any wool over any eyes.

DeleteYeah,you just keep telling yourself that
keep telling yourself that I'm not telling the truth.
Deletethe Leverett's book was published to enormous indifference except from those assigned to review it, most all of whom scoffed at the illogic.
"Going to Tehran" is already in the bargain bins
Tell you what,since you seem to think that you have a monopoly on the truth why dont you try writing a book,of course they`re noted academics and you`re just another anonymous so finding a publisher might pose a few problems for you
