Nuclear+Option+and+Iran-Michelle,+Matt,+Tyler

= A National Intelligence Estimate on Iran =

The country of Iran is on the brink of acquiring a nuclear bomb. On top of them getting the bomb Iran shows a lot of bitterness toward other countries; more specificity Israel who already has the nuclear bomb. The US had an option on weather they should go in for the kill themselves or leave it up to Israel for them to do. The National Security Agency has come to a conclusion that they should let Israel deal with it for now and the US will aid them with military intelligence; such as where to attack, and when to attack. There have been points laid out on where to attack by the CIA, and there have been 3 main sites so far and more research is being done as we speak.

One key finding pertaining to Iran is possibly using the Israeli option when it comes to Iran getting closer to getting the bomb. The Israeli option is that the U.S does nothing to Iran and that Israel instead bombs Iran. The Israeli option is good because although people would be extremely mad at Israel they have the right to attack Iran because Iran posed the threat of wanting to wipe them off the face of the earth. So if Iran was to get the bomb they would go right through with using their atomic weapons in wiping Israel off the planet and Israel deserves to protect themselves if Iran is getting even remotely close.

Another key finding is the "red lines" that if crossed Israeli will do something. The first red line is that if Iran starts producing enough highly-enriched uranium that enables them to make a nuclear bomb they will make a move for Iran. Another red line that if crossed will cause Israel to react is if Iran acquires the S-300 which is an anti-aircraft system which is new from the Russians.

The CIA one of the main associations that are giving the chief of staff a proposal on what they think should be done for the nuclear power problem going on in Iran. There have been various different ideas on what to do. The CIA is more in depth with what the big picture is; We are looking for places that are going to produce the nuclear power that they say is going to be used for energy but for years they have been saying that and the US is afraid that they are in the making of a nuclear bomb. We understand the Iran is not a country that is well like around the world they are enemies of the US allies such as Israel. Iran believes that Israel is not a country worthy of life we fear that the nuclear bomb is going to be used towered Israel, and Israel can use the bomb right back leading to a nuclear war.

Right now things are not going as planned they are months away from getting the bomb and if it is necessary to attack Iran then we should do so; we have planned out the top priorities of the locations of the power plants witch consist of Arak, Bonab, and, Bushehr with Bushehr being the main spot because they are the most active and the most advanced, second is Arak because they are advanced but do not seem to be moving at a fast pace in growing, third is Bonab but is still at the top of the list because there is minimum research on them.

My specific recommendation for this issue Mr. President would be that we use the Israeli option. In this particular situation we the U.S do not really have a reason to go right after Iran. It would be better for us to let Israel do the attack because Iran has already posed a threat on their well-being and they have more of a reason that is understandable by the outside. Right now at this point we only have some knowledge that they are enriching uranium how ever we do not know if they are at a high enough leve to create an atomic bomb. Iran keeps much of what they are doing pertaining to them getting nuclear weapons in the dark. And because of that I feel it is best to leave it to Israel to do what they plan on doing if "red lines" are crossed.
