Wasn't it a movie ??
No - wait - that was "Thirteen Days" and "28 Days"....
We don't even need to speculate. We get weekly updates on Iran's nuclear program from their own government.
Check tradesports; wagering has been ongoing for some time... I love capitalism!
Unless they somehow don't qualify as our allies?

The only nations that are going to take out Iranian nuclear resources are the U.S. or Israel -- period.
When at your suggestion, I tried to imagine Canada Spain or Italy taking such bold and decisive action, I laughed so hard I nearly soiled myself.
Are we sure this is not Bravo Sierra? Wouldn't their nuclear bomb-making take months (if not years) now that they (supposedly) have enriched material?
"We don't even need to speculate. We get weekly updates on Iran's nuclear program from their own government"
Good question. It's one more people around here should be asking.
Iran is shaking down the West for $$$. If they were serious about building a nuke, they wouldn't tell anyone about it, ala Pakistan, Israel, India, etc.
If they say they have a nuke, it may not be reliable. Word has it the Paki's are quite unsure of their nukes, and N. Korea probably has theirs in a cardboard box.
Don't get me wrong, nuke terror is the world's number one threat, by far, IMHO, but Iran's corrupt government is mostly just angling for money, aid and status.
Guess who is going to give it to them?
It's too late. We let it happen over several years. It's going to be a horrible new world. I was wondering when Bush was going to start funding and helping the Iranian people against the Mullahs. I just don't see it, and it's probably too late. We could still get the Iranians to take over, but it's going to be ugly. Luckily, the government can't get much worse, so going for regime change in Iran is a no-lose situation.
Bluh bye!
I've heard it said, the common Iranian thinks the Iranian President Ahmen-however it is "is a joke" --- direct quote from an Iranian.
Where are the Trident Subs???

Iran's royal presentation
"And the world is going to whine if we act against them."
The world is going to whine regardless of what we do or don't do...nuke 9-10 of their largest cities and all of their nuclear sites...problem solved...move on.
I still hold the belief that the US should detonate a nuclear device, of Russian origin, in the middle of the Iranian desert and sit back and watch all of our fair weather friends come running to us and beg for help or demand that we do something about it. At this point, very publicly announce with all of our fair weather friends present, that there will be a strike against Iran from the US and our newly added allies in the war on terrorism. Charge them for the cost and demand cooperation, as far as, air space, bases and what ever else we may need or want. This will have multiple advantages for America and we will reap many good things for a long time, when we succeed. We take out Iran and make it look like their fault. All we need is to grow some testicles and do it.
