Monitor The Strategic Trends
Introduction:
Modern Technology has made it possible for countries all over the world to possess the means for controlling their own populations and to threaten other nations with mass destruction. It no longer matters whether a nation is rich or poor, large or small, first world or third world. Almost anyone can make or purchase weapons that 50 years ago could not even be imagined.

Iran Has Plenty of Enriched Uranium But Keeps Going - Iran has stepped up its nuclear enrichment process, which advanced in 2009 "beyond where we would have wanted it to be," Brig.-Gen. Yossi Baidatz, head of Military Intelligence's Research Division, told MKs during a Tuesday meeting of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Iran has more than two tons of low-enriched uranium, enriched to 4 percent, which is more than necessary to run a nuclear reactor geared for benign purposes.
NEW!
NATO Shrugs At France's Arms Sale To Russia - NATO played down security concerns in eastern Europe provoked by France’s decision to sell four warships to Russia, which fought a war against would-be alliance member Georgia less than two years ago. In announcing the sale of the Mistral-class amphibious assault ships this week, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the West needs to trust Russia and shed Cold War-era stereotypes. The sale was denounced by eastern European governments, especially the Baltic Sea states that were once part of the Soviet Union, as an unwarranted gesture to Russia that threatens European security.
Iran Continues To Enrich Uranium - Iran's President ordered his nuclear chief Sunday to start producing higher-grade fuel, raising the stakes in a dispute with the West days after claiming to have accepted a UN-drafted deal. Mr Ahmadinejad appeared to accept the deal last Tuesday. However, a draft of the agreement seen by British MPs showed Iran still refusing to accept UN conditions, and yesterday Mr Ahmadinejad told Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation to start producing higher-grade reactor fuel.
Iran Launches Rocket In Challenge to US - Iran announced Wednesday it has successfully launched a research rocket carrying a mouse, two turtles and worms into space - a feat President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said showed Iran could defeat the West in the battle of technology. Ahmadinejad also unveiled the model of a light booster rocket that is being built and three new, Iranian-built satellites, touted as the latest in the country's ambitious space program.
Mousavi-Supporting Teheran Prof Killed - A nuclear physics professor who publicly backed Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi in the disputed June presidential election was killed Tuesday when a bomb-rigged motorcycle blew up outside his home.
The blast, apparently set off by a remote trigger, left a puzzling mix of clues about why a 50-year-old researcher with no prominent political voice, no published work with military relevance and no declared links to Iran's nuclear program would be targeted.
