U.N. Watchdog: Iran Expands Nuclear Activities
On November 16, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran is continuing to enrich uranium, upgrade its facilities and build a heavy water reactor. Since August, Tehran has added 43 kilograms of 20 percent-enriched uranium to its stockpile. At the current pace, it could have enough raw material to build one bomb by June 2013. But Iran has also installed 644 centrifuges at the Fordo nuclear facility and 991 at Natanz. The new centrifuges could double the rate of uranium production once they are fully operational. Iran has still not granted the United Nations adequate access to its facilities to determine if the nuclear program is entirely for peaceful purposes. The following are excerpts from the report, with a link to the full version at the end.
The Islamists Are Coming
The Islamists Are Coming, edited by Robin Wright, surveys the rise of Islamist groups in the wake of the Arab Spring. Often lumped together, the more than 50 Islamist parties with millions of followers now constitute a whole new spectrum—separate from either militants or secular parties. They will shape the new order in the world’s most volatile region more than any other political bloc. Yet they have diverse goals and different constituencies. Sometimes they are even rivals.
