Evidence from Imagery: The Iran and Syrian Nuclear Programs

In this age of increasing "Global Transparency",
commercial satellite imagery has now made it possible for anyone to remote peer over the fence and view what heretofore had been otherwise impossible...clandestine nuclear facilities (most significantly, those capable of producing fissile suitable for use in nuclear weapons). The synergistic combination of readily available tools: personal computers, the internet, three-dimensional virtual globe visualization applications such as Google Earth, and high resolution commercial satellite imagery has gone beyond what anyone could have imaged just a few years ago. The down-side of all this is that those who want to keep their clandestine nuclear facilities and associated activities from being either detected, identified, and/or monitored, are becoming more adept in their use of camouflage, concealment, and deception.

iran in the last one hundred years has not attacked or invaded any other country . how many has israel or the usa attacked or invaded? Usa is the biggest producer,seller and user of weapons of mass destruction.USA has used the bomb.

why pick on Iran?

[hobo1975]

iraq covered up the weapons they didnt have very well!

@91derful No, Iran is trying to aquire nuclear weapons while supporting, funding, and training terrorist groups.

For example: Someone who has a gun and uses it for hunting doesn't conceal ownership or it's intent. Someone who uses their gun for committing crimes does. If Iran's inentions are so peaceful, why won't it allow an international organization to inspect it's facilities?

@somalilandish2 Because eastern extremists fund and train terrorist organizations that hijack airplanes and fly them into our buildings, bomb buses, night clubs, and railways. These aren't lies. Iran has one of the largest energy reserves on the planet, so why do they need nuclear power? To make nuclear weapons. They also have a history of training, funding, and supporting terrorist groups. It would be stupid to let them develop nuclear weapons.
