Today is the National Nuclear Technology Day in Iran. Because of this event a gathering was held for the staff of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI). In this meeting, Khamenei delivered a speech to the Atomic Energy Organization's staff, which should neither be ignored nor underestimated. Here below are the most important parts of Khamenei's today speech.
1- Iran should not / will not tolerate or accept any type of language of force amid its nuclear activity.
2- Iran will never allow its “scientific nuclear move” to be brought to a halt, and stressed, “None of the country’s nuclear achievements could be shut down, and nobody has the right to bargain over them, and nobody will do that.” (Tasnim, 2014).
As I follow carefully the speeches and statements of Khamenei and some other high ranking policy makers of Iran, it seems to me that Iran has been gradually passing the red line with regard to its nuclear activity. In other words, Iran has reached the critical stage with regard to development of its nuclear weapon. To put it simply, I might say "the genie is out of the bottle".
In sum, the Middle East is moving toward a nuclear weapon race faster than we think. This is something that the IAEA and some other responsible international organization should carefully pay attention to it and prevent it; before, it's too late.
