Re: “Atomic Agency Views Iran’s Stepped-Up Enrichment of Uranium as a Violation” (news article Feb 12):
Iran broke its word by increasing the enrichment of it Uranium to near weapons grade. The United Nations is correct to ask them to stop their program completely as they are unwilling to abide by the rules they agreed to. The only reason I could understand for a sudden bolstering of their nuclear defensive systems would be an imminent threat that we are not aware of. Another possibly for this build-up without supervision or permission could be plans to dramatically change the power hierarchy around them. I cannot pretend to know their minds or motives, but I would imagine that they did not act in such a provocative way without thought, and we, the international we, need to know why. The Middle East is in turmoil currently and a shift in power as large as enrichment of volatile compounds, purposeful compounds, could begin to spin the chaos in new potentially bloodier directions. Iran’s nuclear programs should be halted until it is clear why they broke their word and acted so hastily.
