II. This article is about how Iran is planning to make nuclear weapons. Due to technology, they may have them by the end of this year. They were origionally supposed to have them by the end up 2009 but their process has sped up. A potential target and the place most likely to be hit is Israel, who has been at war with Iran for years. People in Israel said that nothing can bring them downa dn no enemy can destroy them.
III.
A. This article relates to the theme "Cultural, religious, and intellectual developments" because of the fact that Iran is developing harmful nuclear weapons.
B. Nuclear weapons are very, very harmful. Theyve only been dropped twice in the history of the world during World War II in Japan by the Americans. The effects were terrible and many people were killed and injured. Also, Israel and Iran have been fighting for a long time and that is probably the reason tey are a target for Iran.
C. This aritcle was written by two men who seem to be native to Israel, because they are writing for an Israeli news site.
D. Since the two writers are Israeli, they will most likely take the side of Israel and might try to make Iran look bad by discussing their plans to make nuclear weapons.
E. It would help to hear from an Iranian government official to explain why they need to make nuclear weapons.
F. I feel that it shouldnt ever been necessary to use nuclear weapons. Theyre harmful to the earth and hurt many people. In the past, the two nuclear bombs dropped in Japan gave many people radiation sickness and lots of people got very sick. There must be a better way of solving issues than dropping harmful bombs.

The thought that the threat of nuclear bombs could be real in a year is terrifying. I think if this problem isn't dealt with soon, then our country could be in big trrouble. I just hope we can get this whole situation under control before it's too late.
No country in the world should be able to have nukes, especially if its going to be used to attack another country. This is really scary because if they make a nuke that works once, they can do it again. I hope the US doesn't get involved in this because we always wind up going into other people's affairs. I completely agree with you that nuclear weapons are horrible to the environment and to people.
I think if Iran makes nuclear bombs and we find out about it we need to keep a close watch on them. Those people over the wild and we don’t know what they could do at any moment. And if they plan to use the bombs on us or any of our allies we should destroy them because they are like children and America seems to have to baby sit countries like this.
