Agence France Presse reported today,
“The Russian company building Iran’s first nuclear power plant has renewed a commitment to complete the project, the official IRNA news agency reported on Tuesday…
The Russian contractor said in December that Bushehr would not come on line before the end of 2008, amid repeated delays in construction, contractual disputes and international tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme.”
As I’ve said previously, I believe the key to understanding when a strike may take place in Iran is when the Bushehr power plant comes online.
Now it appears the reactor will not come online until after 2008, so the window of opportunity seems possible between November and January. Chris Mitchell of CBN reported yesterday,
“The Israel newspaper Ma’ariv reported within the past few days that Israel had made the strategic decision to “take whatever means necessary” to stop Tehran.
If Israel did act, one of the most probable “windows,” according to a former senior Israeli official we spoke with Monday, would be between November and January. The time frame has less to do with logistics than politics. This is the time between November’s U.S. presidential election and the inauguration of the next President on January 20th.”
Until next time…
