Iran has removed seals from a nuclear facility and will begin research there in the coming hours, a top Iranian nuclear official has announced. The move ends a two-year suspension of research, and could result in Tehran being referred to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions.
Germany on Monday described Iran's planned move as "very, very ominous".
Western countries fear Iran's nuclear programme could be used to make atomic bombs, but Tehran denies such a goal.
Gasp!
No.
Iran should consider the quality of what was Saddam's nuclear program when he was sent to a spider whole.
"I think Israel will not disappoint them and the only reason they haven't done so before now is some strong jaw-boning by Bush. It may not work with the new guy."
No, Israel will not do it because Europeans are weenies and will support the Arabs in a war against Israel. Israel cannot win a war against the Arab nations when Europe is supporting them with material and money. Even with American support.
Plus any war between Israel and Iran will create an explosion in Iraq with the Shiites.
This is one of the reasons they will do it and get away with it. Europe has long ago lost any bite it had.
No companionship with your goat for 2 weeks.
Why put a time constraint on it (we know they certainly don't)...
;)
In say its time for a sternly worded letter from the UN.
Jeff Goldblum is going to nuke Tehran?
These fools are really goping to provoke a wider war. The Israeli's wont permit it and we wont stop the Israelis.
Enough already. Send in the F-16s.
A friend of mine who just left the military after 6 years told me that it was common knowledge inside the ranks that Iran is the most dangerous nation on earth, and that military action might be necessary to eliminate their nuclear ambitions.
lol, He saved the day before, this time he is just warning us how evil the Mullah's are, and they need to be nuked as of yesterday.
Well, that would require hitting the facilitieeeesszzz as in "plural". Estimates are that the Iranian program is spread out over as many as 80 sites.
Non-sense. The US supplies more military equipment to Arab countries that does any European country. Look how many European nations are in NATO. What NATO nation is going to support any Arab nation in a war with Israel?
I think if Israel waits much longer, they could be in dire danger. The world knows that Iran wants to eliminate Israel and no matter how they may scream and holler about an attack on Iran, they know it would be the interest of self preservation.
Waiting on a resolution from the (Security) Council to enact sanctions against Iran could drag on for years, in the interim they develop nuclear compacity, and the whole middle east goes into turmoil including the new Democracy of Iraq.
There is no other option but a defensive strike, IMO.
Russia, which isn't in NATO and China which also isn't in NATO.
As it is said, Sunna or later, Shi'ite will happen. We are reaching the point of no return..
