PM: Iran has set 7,000 new centrifuges spinning since presidential election

Since Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was elected two months ago, Iran has installed 7,000 centrifuges, indicating that he is nothing more than a new face to an old regime, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Wednesday.

This was the fourth time since Friday that Netanyahu took aim at Rouhani, reflecting the fact that even as negotiations with the Palestinians are due to start in Jerusalem next Wednesday, Iran remains the top item on the prime minister’s agenda and is considered by him to be the most important national security challenge facing Israel.

The theme of Netanyahu’s comments on Rouhani over the past six days has been that the Iranians need to be judged by their actions, not their words – and that these actions have not changed, even though the words have become softer.

The installation of the new centrifuges, including 1,000 upgraded models with enhanced uranium enrichment capabilities, is proof , Netanyahu said during a tour of a cluster of new IDF bases to be built at the Hanegev Junction south of Beersheba, that Iran has not changed course.

Netanyahu is being forced by the Obama administration to participate in these futile negotiations with the Palestinians. Conceivably they can result in the fall of his coalition government. However before he leaves office he will attack Iran. The US will be involved in a very costly war. Obama and Kerry are out of their depth. They have put those brave young sailors in the narrow confines of the Persian Gulf at grave risk.

Oh, they will have their nuclear weapons, all right.

The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — the Almighty I AM who begat the Son of Man, Yeshuah HaMashiach — the WORD through Whom all things were made — will have the final say as to whether, and how, these weapons are used, and to what effect.

Pray for Israel and Jerusalem. And for America too.

And they have submarines that fly to the moon. Why 7,000? really? It only takes a couple of good ones. We built nukes in the 40’s and 50’s and Pakistan (with the help of China and Russia- that had the help of US traitors) build them 15 years ago.

I don’t doubt that Iran is a threat, but the 7,000 centrifuges number is silly.

It sounds like there could be an awfully big explosion over there.

The Iranian program has become a nuke technicians fantasy. Basically, you get a free check from the government because no one in the top one hundred that run the Iranian government....have any real science background. You make up a story that you need $10 million in IT gear but never have to explain what purpose the gear is for...except to get you better download speeds off YouTube.

The 7,000 centrifuges? I’m taking a guess that they ordered that many, but a quarter of them are for re-sell purposes later on. They still in the box, and you just make up a story that it’s online.

Yep. Either some big bunker busters or something bigger. I don’t think Bibi is going to wait a lot longer.

Obama and Kerry need to stop meddling in the PA-Israel affairs. It’s really “retarted” to think a two-state solution would work, as the PA isn’t even a country.

“Iran will get the bomb.”

...and future generations will ask: “How did they ever allow it to happen?”

Remember when Clinton engineered a multi-billion dollar deal to build light water reactors in North Korea for a promise they won't build nukes?

You know how that turned out.

The North Koreans laugh at foreigners "It's your deal, not ours" (that was a real quote from an NK General in a book I read a few months ago)
