Israel on Iran - NYTimes.com Re "Not the Time to Squeeze Iran" (editorial, Nov. 16): Let it be said loud and clear: No country has more to lose than Israel if there is not a peaceful solution to Iran's nuclear weapons program. A proposed deal to freeze enrichment in exchange for relief from some sanctions sounds good on paper, but because of the structure of Iran's nuclear program, it unfortunately would not halt Iran's "breakout" ability. As it stands today, Iran has enough low-enriched uranium that, should it decide to, it could create weapons-grade materials in a matter of months, even weeks. In the past few years, Iran shifted its focus to amassing large amounts of low-enriched uranium that could become weapons-grade virtually overnight, but stayed below the "red line." If the so-called deal succeeded in freezing Iran's nuclear program as is, the world would still be in grave danger if Iran decided to "flip the switch" and weaponize its nuclear materials. Sanctions should continue to increase for as long as Iran continues to produce the infrastructure and fuel for nuclear weapons. Anything less will make Iran's attainment of nuclear weapons or the use of force to prevent that more likely. SHAHAR AZANI Spokesman Consulate General of Israel New York, Nov. 18, 2013
