Arab states to go nuclear?

Posted by Matt in November 15th, 2006

Some Middle East states, including Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Saudi Arabia, have shown initial interest in (attaining) nuclear power, primarily for desalination purposes,” said the deputy director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Tomihiro Taniguch. The UAE and Tunisia have also “shown interests in pursuing similar plans”.

The story, which broke last week through The Middle East Economic Digest, sort of came and left without receiving significant mention in the regional press. Some even dismissed it as a conspiracy theory.

Middle East Nuclear Energy Race (Iranvnc.com)
Washington, May 21, 2008 (IranVNC)— Ongoing rise in fuel costs and dependence on foreign oil is forcing many countries to explore alternative energy sources. One such alternative has been nuclear energy. Some argue it incurs high costs and risks. Yet, the nuclear energy tide appears to be overwhelming so far, not only in the West, but also the Middle East. Iran's nuclear ambition has already propelled many Arab countries to enter the nuclear energy race. Continuous rise in fossil fuel costs and possible disruptions to oil supply is forcing many countries to consider alternative energy sources... one such alternative has been nuclear energy. (GFX: Since the oil embargo in 1973, interest in nuclear energy has been revived.) To some, it has zero emissions and reduces dependence on foreign...

Among them, Pipes asserts that Israel is quite capable of standing up to a nuclear Iran on its own.

Edwards Middle East policy doesn't acknowledge Israeli nukes
Leaving the studios of CBS, presidential candidate Senator John Edwards repeated his position that he was for direct engagement with Iran. That position is qualified by Edwards also insisting that "all options on the table." In January, in a satellite broadcast to the Herzliya Conference in Israel Senator Edwards asserted "once Iran goes nuclear, other countries in the Middle East will go nuclear, making Israel's neighborhood much more volatile." Sam Husseini wondered if the region wasn't already destabilized by Israel's own first possession (excluding the United States' own projection of force) of nuclear arms in the Middle East. Husseini asked the senator if he would acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons and wondered if the lack of such acknowledgment also aggravated the...

Middle East Update - Iran Test Fires Missiles (rockets) BibleOrTraditions
(RTTNews, July 8, 2008) - Iran has threatened to attack Israel and the U.S. navy in the Gulf as its first response to any attack on its nuclear sites, media reports quoting a senior aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday. "The first U.S. shot on Iran would set the United States' vital interests in the world on fire," said Ali Shirazi, who is Khamenei's representative to the naval forces of the elite Revolutionary Guards. He said that Tel Aviv and the U.S. fleet in the Persian Gulf would be the targets that would be set on fire in Iran's crushing response. (World Tribune, June 22, 2007) Iran has expanded its naval presence in the Straits of Hormuz, the passage for an estimated 40 percent of global crude oil shipments. The U.S. Navy has determined that Iran has...

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/09/30/Robert_Fisk_The_Age_of_the_Warrior Middle East journalist Robert Fisk argues that the U.S. media delivers a "false narrative" about Iran's nuclear ambitions, as they rarely discuss that the West originally supported an Iranian nuclear program. ----- In "The Age of the Warrior", Dr. Robert Fisk has assembled a remarkable collection of essays and stories which serve to amplify and reflect the blood-stained past and present in which we live. Fisk takes readers from the London bombings to the streets of Lebanon, from war torn Iraq to the horror of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, offering courageous eyewitness accounts.
