Israeli intelligence compile and has publish various espionage reports on the Iran advancement in nuclear warfare; despite this the world power bloc approached the issue cautiously. In spite of the skepticism not one of them is ready to underestimate the capabilities of Iran nuclear engineers cloning another Albert Exstein’s theory.
Moscow (Reuters) - Russia's customs service said on Friday it had seized radioactive sodium-22, an isotope that is used in medical equipment but has no weapons use, from the luggage of a passenger planning to fly from Moscow to Tehran.
The fear of advance nuclear warfare weapon falling into the uncultured and barbaric hands has a visible grip on European and the American power blocs. The Arabs are friends of convenience as far as the Stalin sons are concerned.
The service said in a statement that the material could be obtained only "as a result of a nuclear reactor's operations" but did not say when it had been discovered at Moscow's Sheremetyevo international airport.
The material triggered an alarm in the airport's radiation control system and a luggage search led to the discovery of 18 pieces of the radioactive metal packed in individual steel casings, it said.
"There is no weapons aspect to this (material)," Research director Lars-Erik De Geer of the Swedish Defence Research Institute.
Tension is rising between Western powers and Iran after a United Nations nuclear watchdog report last month that said Tehran appeared to have worked on designing a nuclear weapon, and that secret research to that end may be continuing.
Russia, which built Iran's first nuclear power station, has said it might help Tehran construct more atomic plants, but they are not however in support of them owning it as an arsenal.
