Israel disappointed with Biden administration's Iran policy

Israel is preparing to take unilateral steps to prevent Iran from continuing its enrichment of uranium, Israel Hayom claimed, citing an unknown source.

Tuesday morning’s report cited senior Israeli officials who said that the US under the Biden administration has done little to bar Iran from accelerating its nuclear program..

“Already Iran is enriching uranium at levels of 60%, which everyone agrees is not for civilian uses,” one senior official claimed. “The Americans fully acknowledge this, they understand the situation. But the situation with them is difficult. They’re stalling for time, they aren’t moving. Their behavior is creating a serious headache for us.”

Israeli security experts, the source continued, are essentially unanimous in their opinion that Israel must not accept Iran enriching uranium at high levels.

While Iran repeatedly confirmed that its nuclear program is just for peacefull purposes, Israel has produced 115 nuclear warheads since it began making them in 1963, according to a study released by the Washington DC-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) in 2015.

Israel, the report states, has produced 660 kilograms of plutonium within the last 52 years at its Dimona nuclear reactor in the southern Negev Desert.

According to ISIS founder David Albright, who wrote the report, Israel continues to maintain a policy of "strategic ambiguity" in regards to its nuclear arsenal, despite the declassification of several U.S. government documents that appear to confirm its existence.
