" Iran's Nuclear Hymn "
by Ali Nouri Zadeh
16/04/2006
Ali Nouri Zadeh, is an Iranian researcher at the
London-based Center for Arab-Iranian Studies and the
editor of its Arabic-language newsletter, Al-Mujes
an-Iran
Last Tuesday, after hours of broadcasting national
anthems and alerting the citizens to expect important
and wonderful news concerning the nuclear issue,
Iran's Television broadcast at 8:30 Tehran local time,
a live speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from the
northeastern town of Mashad
in which he declared that
Iran had succeeded for the first time in enriching
uranium at its nuclear facilities near the city of
Natanz.
The Iranian President claimed that the Islamic
Republic,
thanks to the efforts and interest of its young
scientists and scientific elites
managed after resuming activities at Natanz, following
years of voluntary freeze,
to start working in the field of enriching uranium as
of Monday (the day before the announcement).
Prior to the speech, the Iranian President accompanied
by a number of officials from the Iranian Atomic
Energy Organization and
presented a quantity of the yellow cake to the museum
of the grave of the second Shiite Ayatollah, Imam
al-Reza in the city of Mashad.
Ahmadinejad
announced that Monday morning at a meeting with
military commanders and some cabinet ministers that he
would break pleasant and joyous news to the people
shortly, coinciding with the celebrations of the
Prophet's birth anniversary.
This sparked various rumors that Iran had accepted
IAEA demands, namely abandoning the uranium enrichment
program for a number of years, or that Iran had
actually succeeded in producing a dirty atomic bomb in
Teheran.
An electronic website close to the radicals claimed
that Ahmadinejad would announce Iran's success in
testing its first atomic bomb.
However, these rumors were short-lived particularly
because the Head of the Expediency Council
Hashemi-Rafsanjani had disclosed in an interview with
the Kuwaiti News Agency (KUNA) a few days prior to his
visit to Kuwait
that Iran has succeeded in operating 164 centrifuges
for the first time and reached the level of industrial
production.
The propaganda organs in Iran, particularly the ground
and satellite channels of Iranian Television had
started since Tuesday morning to prepare the
atmospheres for the announcement of some important
news, focusing in the orientation of its programs on
fiery national rhetoric rather than the standard
religious line.
According to Dr Muhammad Sadiqi, a professor of
nuclear physics,
it was clear to those following the activities of the
Ahmadinejad Government in the past weeks that it was
mobilizing all its capabilities to enrich even a
limited quantity of uranium prior to the arrival of
IAEA chief Dr Muhammad ElBaradie in Tehran.
Perhaps the news announced by the Iranian President
would be a key to solving the current standoff,
so that the regime could save its face and at the same
time accept the IAEA demands,
considering that Ahmadinejad 's announcement that Iran
had joined the nuclear club was coupled with a pledge
that Iran had no intention of using its nuclear
capabilities in producing atomic bombs.
However, a former official in the Khatami Government
expressed concern over the repercussions of
Ahmadinejad 's speech.
The official pointed out that by his claim Ahmadinejad
has provided the necessary pretexts for those parties
in the United States and the West clamoring for a
strike against Iran's nuclear installations.
To sum it all up, the danger has become clearer now
after Iran's ability to enrich uranium at 3.5 degrees.
The entire region has to brace for a crucial period ahead.
