Hans Blix Sees a Greater Threat from Iran than Iraq of 2003
November 7, 2007 by pulkit
Many people are slowly but surely updating their threat perception of Iran and Hans Blix, former chief UN weapons inspector, is among them. He has labelled Iran as a more serious threat than Iraq was in 2003. This might seem to be a bold, lofty statement from the man who inspected the Iraqi weapons facilities and scoured them for chemical or nuclear weapons prior to the invasion of that country (some of you might even accuse him being complicit with the U.S. government). However, he has logical reasons to believe that Iran is a real threat.
He singles out Iran’s belligerent intent to strengthen his case and quickly points out that Iraq, on the other hand, was very submissive before being invaded by the U.S and its allies in 2003.
“They have also a large nuclear sector with two nuclear power reactors that are ready to go into operation, research reactors going on, a lot of people and a lot of money.Therefore the suspicions and concerns about Iran and enriched uranium are far more substantial than they were in the case of Iraq.” [source]
