This is the test not only of the standing of Iran in the world, but of the standing of America in the 21st century. Can it deliver to its allies, the Arab countries mainly, or can't it? Can it control the threat from expanding proliferation or can't it? As Minister for Atomic Energy, [DAN MERIDOR], who has played a major role in drafting the country's revised strategic doctrine, said Israel had reviewed its long-time policy of "nuclear opacity" and had decided not to change it. "Nuclear opacity always worked for Israel. We never said we did nor did not possess nuclear weapons. We left it ambiguous," Meridor said. "I don't think that anything we can add to this - admitting we don't or confessing we had - will add anything."

TEHRAN, Iran Iran broadened its threats Tuesday over a move to refer it to the U.N. Security Council, saying that unless the U.N. atomic watchdog agency backs down, it will resume uranium enrichment, block inspections of its nuclear facilities, and cut trade with countries that supported the resolution. Despite the threats, Russia's minister of atomic energy and Vienna-based diplomats said Iran does not have ability to resume enrichment immediately.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohammed ElBaradei recently visited Israel, trying to convince Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to scrap his country's presumed nuclear arsenal as part of a regional peace agreement. In the best of all possible worlds, such a proposal might be reasonable. But in the chronically unstable Middle East - where several Islamist states remain openly genocidal toward Israel and where Iranian nuclearization has scarcely been sanctioned - it is foolhardy. No country should ever be asked to be complicit in its own annihilation, and such complicity would be the certain result of any proposed IAEA "peace" plan.
