Israel stops Iran

by Peter Lyukimson, Israel Exclusively for Vestnik Kavkaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in early January 2013 that Iran will not build a nuclear bomb until 2014. Many considered it a three-year speculation of the Iranian issue. Reza Halili, an officer of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution working for the CIA who left Iran and entered the US, said on January 27 that a blast happened in an Iranian nuclear facility about a week ago.

The blast was sensed at a radius of 6km. It destroyed uranium deposits. 240 workers were left underground. All rounds at a radius of 25km were closed, including the Tehran-Kum Highway.

Halili said that the nuclear program will need several years to catch up the schedule. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held a meeting in Tehran and blamed Mossad for the blast. European officials suspected Mossad too, noting that the blast happened with minimal injuries.

Hamidreza Zakari, another Iranian deserter, confirmed Halili’s words.

Israeli President Shimon Peres held numerous meetings in Davos. He met Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili to discuss relations in the Caucasus, Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and the Iranian problem.
