Iran Nuclear Terrorism CBRN

The foreign policy of The Islamic Republic of Iran (hereinafter referred to as Iran) can be explained most convincingly by realist theory. Although other theories may have seemed to offer insight into Iran’s foreign policy decisions and behavior following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, they are inferior in their contemporary explanatory power. This paper contends Iranian state behavior since 1979 has moved from one guided primarily by Islamic revolutionary zeal that, over time, has yielded to the power realities with which most modern states must contend. Specifically, Iran’s choices and consequent actions thirty-three years hence reveal realist proclivities, while simultaneously maintaining the rhetoric of Islamic revolutionary appeal for domestic (and transnational) consumption. Further, where threatening public pronouncements raise the specter of an irrational regime seeking nuclear weapons, it is far from certain to be so. At the core, such inflammatory rhetoric is more apt to be the product of efforts toward domestic power consolidation coupled with a public relations campaign, which seeks support in the form of ideological consonance abroad. The net result seems to be an effort directed at state survival and power maximization in the face of a self-perceived security deficit.

The most critical aspect of Tehran's capability of not only producing nuclear weapons but miniaturizing nuclear warheads to fit into a variety of the Iran's inventory of missiles is Soviet's Nuclear Weapons Expert Professor Danilenko Vyacheslav. Yet, strangely we hear little about of him.

INTRODUCTION Nuclear Weapons: Hydronuclear Testing / Low-Level Nuclear Test Blasts : Zero yield refers to a nuclear test in which there is no explosive chain reaction of the type ignited by the detonation of a nuclear warhead.  This eight-page report is based on professional sources such as International Atomic Energy Agency, Congressional Research Reports, Nuclear Threat Initiative, U.S. Strategic Commission Report, U.S. Department of State and many more. Links are provided.

Hydronuclear tests are useful for nuclear weapon development because they can be used to obtain an improved understanding of two key performance parameters of the weapon assembly system. The first is the optimum moment for initiating the chain reaction by an external neutron source. The second is the rate at which the nuclear chain reaction proceeds during the period between initiation of the chain reaction and the beginning of the explosive disassembly phase.

Divorced from reality, the Obama administration insists “nobody can claim justifiably that the United States hasn’t had success against terrorist networks.” State Department spokesperson Rear Admiral John Kirby announced in a press briefing on July 1, 2015.  He went on to boast about the progress against these networks and their ability to maneuver, to finance, to train, to equip, and to conduct attacks.”

In October 2003, Iran concluded a voluntary agreement with France, Germany, and the United Kingdom collectively known as the “E3,” to suspend its enrichment activities, sign and implement an Additional Protocol to its International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)  safeguards agreement, and comply fully with the IAEA’s investigation. As a result, the agency’s board decided to refrain from referring the matter to the U.N. Security Council.

On 18th December 2003 Iran signed the Additional Protocols to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The understanding is the IAEA would therefore be able to carry out “anywhere anytime” inspections in Iran. Tehran signed this Additional Protocol in December 2003, but has never ratified it.

By STEPHEN HUGHES \  01/07/2015 Israel lives in a land under continuous siege- rockets, mortars, fly almost daily in or around Israeli communities. The emerging asymmetrical rocket warfare, there are no longer any areas safe from missile strikes. From the Hezbollah in the North, Hamas in Gaza and the mounting threat from Sinai Peninsula.

Famous American Author Mark Twain was asked one time if he thought if history repeated itself he replied, ” “History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes,”.  Buried beneath the obscured pages of Presidential Nuclear détente is how North Korea became a nuclear armed state. In what appears to be a recurring nightmare, Iran’s slow march to become a nuclear weapons state is following the same path.
