Iran's Sunday confirmation regarding the resuming of the research in the field of nuclear fuel proves the world's failure in stopping Teheran's nuclear ambitions, Jerusalem Post quoted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Silvan Shalom as saying.
The Israeli official also said that the international community's failure to bring the issue to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions strengthens Iranian confidence that they can continue with their nuclear program.
Iran announced on Sunday
that the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) investigators were there and they were preparing to remove the seals on the facilities used for nuclear research, an operation which shouldn't be ready by Tuesday.
"We will remove the seals and we have announced that we are ready to start research from tomorrow," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a news conference which took place yesterday.
The European Union and the US are backing a plan devised by Russia which aims at transferring all the uranium enrichment facilities on Russian soil.
The goal is to control the uranium levels to limit the usage of radioactive material to obtaining energy, not manufacturing weapons.
Iran continues to claim that it has no intent to produce nuclear weapons, but at the end of December, the Chief of the Israeli secret service Mossad, Meir Dagan, said that Iran was seeking more than one nuclear bomb and it would attain technological independence within a number of months.
"There exists a strategic Iranian decision to reach nuclear independence and the capability to produce bombs. Iran's chances of attaining the necessary technology depends on whether its plans will be thwarted by outside actors or whether it will be able to advance the uranium enrichment process," Dagan said.
