I have asked you about Israeli preemptive attacks on Iran.
Will this attck weaken Iranian reformists' position?
I suggested that Mullahs and hard-liners within the government will militarize Iranian society. This is a double pressure on the Iranian people.
What do you think?

Iran may need more time to satisfy all IAEA's demands

TEHRAN, Oct 13, (AFP) -- Iran is set to boost its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency but may need more time to satisfy all of the watchdog's demands, Iran's envoy to the UN agency said in comments published Monday.

"The pace of cooperation has quickened since the recent Tehran talks (with an IAEA delegation earlier this month) and we are counting on it accelerating still further in the coming weeks now that we have drawn up a work plan," Ali Akbar Salehi told the government daily Iran.

Saleh rejected criticism by IAEA director general Mohamed ElBaradei of Iran's progress in satisfying the watchdog's concerns about its nuclear programme by an October 31 deadline, urging appreciation of its efforts.

"If the way we are working together is acceptable to both Iran and the agency, then logically one cannot declare that that cooperation has failed just because all concerns have not been addressed by the deadline," the envoy said.

I think it will be rough indeed for the Iranian people if Israel preemtively strikes Iran. Some reformists may rally against Israel, some will see it as a necessary step to getting rid of the Mullahs.

With America next door in Iraq, and once Iran's nuclear capability is taken out, I think the freedom loving Iranians will feel empowered, for they know the time is near.
