In this article there are three interesting opinions and views to the situation at hand. This topic has been discussed for several years now but in the time of turmoil in the Middle East it has become a bigger issue. If Iran has a nuclear bomb? OR are they building a nuclear material to build a bomb? Iran has been denying the allegations and they have been repeatedly saying that the reason they are being accused because they have been backing Lebanon but mostly Palestine against Israel. Adm Mike Mullen, US Joint chiefs of staff (to CNN) "And Iran having a nuclear weapon, I've believed for a long time, is a very, very bad outcome for the region and for the world," he said while David Albright, president of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security (to AFP news agency) The amount "is sufficient for a nuclear weapons breakout capability" both spokesmen have similar view to the situation and seemed pretty sure and confident with their opinions and were willing to confidently express them. In the other hand US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has adopted a more cautious approach, "I think that there has been a continuing focus on how do you get the Iranians to walk away from a nuclear weapons programme? They're not close to a stockpile. They're not close to a weapon at this point," he told NBC on Sunday. I think giving different views is crucial because it expresses different opinions and ideas.
My opinion is that Iran having a nuclear bomb could be a major threat to Israel and the Western World especially at this time and age of conflicts going on, but many countries have them and Iran never threatened any country before. It will be interesting to see what occurs with this situation in the future. I would rather see prove of finding the facilities and the objects rather then hearing speakers giving their own opinions.
