U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney said last week “You look around the world at potential trouble spots, Iran is right at the top of the list”. He maybe forgets about the 45 grave security lapses in 2004 in Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), one of the leading American nuclear weapon laboratories.
The National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) has just issued an invitation to tender to manage the LANL. Hope the new contractor will be more careful and the US Government more informed about his own nuclear development.
At this time the White House – communication – strategy is to fear the world with an easy and potential new enemy such as Iran. But it is difficult to imagine a U.S. military intervention in Iran for the next years.
Iran has many nuclear installations dispatched all over the country and it would be crazy to go there with guns and weapons to bring the famous “USA vision of democracy”.
Also Iran has just formed a new counter-espionage agency – named “Oghab 2″ (Oghab: punishment in Farsi) – designed specifically to protect its nuclear program from outside interference. It’s supervised by Yunesi, Iran’s intelligence and security minister.
A diplomatic approach will be the only way.
If not ? BOOM !
