The Blitherer,


The NY-Times story is pathetic.


ANY knowlegable Mid-East journalist or military intelligence analyst (worth their salt) KNOWS that the Soviets have already given "miniaturized" nuclear-weapon design files to the Iranians, in exchange for Iran's giving the Soviets billions worth of nuclear facility and arms deals.


Privately, I think Iran ALREADY has nuclear weapons, already sitting on selected Shaab-3 missiles ... and are merely "baiting" Isreal to attack with a long, outrageous parade of diplomatic-military provocations.

4 January 1994
US Undersecretary for International Security Lynn Davis says that Iranian nuclear procurement is "inconsistent with any rational civil nuclear program." The CIA has concluded that Iran's nuclear program is in its "infancy stage," but that Iran could possess nuclear weapons by the year 2000.
