Israel to destroy Iran nuke plant?
Jerusalem considers pre-emptive strike by summer's end

While Iran announced plans to begin building a heavy-water reactor that can
produce weapons-grade plutonium, Israel began drawing up plans to demolish it
– much as it destroyed an Iraqi nuclear facility more than a decade ago.
Sources in Israel say the attack could come before the end of summer, according
to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
While Tehran insists the facility is purely for research, the decision
heightens concern about Iran's ability to produce nuclear aims.
The 40-megawatt reactor could produce enough plutonium for a nuclear weapon
each year, according to sources.
While construction is set to begin in June, Iran already had previously
announced plans to build such a reactor last year to the U.N. nuclear watchdog
agency.
The reactor site is at Arak, next to an already built heavy-water production
plant. It is to replace a reactor using non-weapons grade enriched uranium that
the Iranians mothballed because they said it was outmoded and lacked fuel.
Because enrichment can be used both to generate power and make nuclear
warheads, Iran has said it has suspended all enrichment activities to prove its
peaceful intentions. It also cannot buy enriched fuel on legal markets because
of international suspicions about its intentions.
Observers wonder out loud why Iran, a nation with vast oil reserves, is so
intent on producing nuclear power.
