Clinton, on a tour of Gulf Arab countries to shore up support for pressure on Iran, arrived in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. She will also visit Dubai, Oman and Qatar on the five-day trip.
Global powers are preparing for another round of talks with Iran this month over its nuclear program.
Clinton said a recent assessment by the retiring chief of Israel's Mossad intelligence service that Iran would not be able to build an atomic bomb until at least 2015 should not undercut international determination to keep the pressure on Iran through sanctions and other means to come clean about its nuclear work.
"The timeline is not so important as the international effort to try to ensure that whatever the timeline, Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons," Clinton told reporters on her plane as it arrived in Abu Dhabi. "I don't know that it gives much comfort to somebody who is in the Gulf, or who is in a country that Iran has vowed to destroy, that it's a one-year or a three-year timeframe."
Clinton did not dispute the views of Mossad's retiring director Meir Dagan, whose comments published on Friday were interpreted as evidence of new Israeli confidence in U.S.-led sanctions and covert action designed to discourage or delay Tehran's uranium enrichment program.
"I think we should keep the attention where it belong," Clinton said, adding that she was confident existing sanctions on Iran "have had a very significant impact."
Clinton said her message to Gulf leaders was that sanctions were working and enforcement must be improved. "We do keep the pressure on all the time because the Iranians are always looking for a way out of the sanctions," she said. "We expect all our partners to share that concern, as these countries certainly do.""We don't want anyone to be misled by anyone's intelligence analysis," she said.
Israeli Mossad’s top assassin, Gen. Meir Dagan in a briefing on his retirement has warned the Zionist regime that attacking the Islamic Republic, before Israel is under attack, would be a fatal mistake (especially without the active participation of the US forces).
“Israel should not hasten to attack Iran, doing so only when the sword is upon its neck,” said Dagan.
Dagan also repeated his earlier prediction that the Islamic Republic will not be able to produce its first nuclear bomb before 2015. In 2009, Dagan told Jewish lawmakers that Iran could have its first nuclear warhead in 2014, but that could be delayed by the ‘crippling sanctions’ and covert sabotage activities – for which Tehran has blamed Israel, Britain and the US. Last month, Iran executed Ali Akbar Siadat, for passing Iranian military secrets to Mossad for US$60,000. As part of Jewish ‘vengeance’, Mossad murdered Iranian Gen. Ali Reza Asgari in Israel’s Ayalon prison.
Several Western intelligence agencies are also of the opinion that Iran could acquire the ‘capability’ to produce nuclear weapon by the middle of the decade if it continues its enrichment policy. This supports Benji Netanyahu’s public circumspection – echoing louder misgivings voiced by Ben-Obama administration about resorting to force against Iran, which while denies seeking nuclear arms and has vowed to retaliate against Israel and US interests if attacked by either of them.
The reputed investigating reporter, Wayne Madsen has claimed that CIA has boosted-up it espionage activities in both Turkey and Brazil for their support for Tehran’s right for its civilian nuclear program and their refusal to follow Washington’s stand on UN sanctions against Tehran.
American investigating reporter, Robert Drefuss has claimed that Obama is thinking of allowing Tehran to continue enriching uranium a part of the new proposal during the coming meeting between the so-called P5+1 and Tehran in Istanbul on January 24, 2011. In return Iran will agree to export the bulk of its enriched uranium for processing outside the country, most likely in Russia, where part of it will be transformed into fuel rods for use in the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR), which is used for medical purposes, and part of it will be reprocessed into fuel for the Russian-built nuclear plant at Bushehr, which recently started up.
While the Zionist entity is trying its best to stop Iran achieving the ‘nuclear capability’ – Ben-Obama administration fears that if pushed further, Iran’s Spiritual Leader, Ayatullah Ali Khamenei, on the demand of both conservative and reformist lawmakers, may decide to pull Iran out of the NPT. If that happens, like Israel, India and Pakistan – Iran could pursue its military nuclear ambitions openly.
Personally, I believe Tehran must keep its enriched uranium stock inside the country and develop a few nuclear bombs as deterrent against the Zionist bullies.
