He added: "A lot of the Iranian government feels Iran is in such a strong position, with oil prices at 140 or 145 dollars per barrel. They feel that eventually the world will have to accept that Iran will have its nuclear capability."

“Israel will not be pleased.”

It will not be pleased, but it also will not be surprised.

Sounds to me like a Conspiracy of Appeasement Weasels.

We really are turning into some kind of nation. Good grief!

First North Korea, and now Iran. It’s a good thing Hussein is dead. I’d be worried.

“Iran’s commitment to mastering the nuclear fuel cycle appears to be unshakeable. The central question is whether the government is prepared eventually to give ground in negotiations about safeguards against nuclear weapons proliferation. Such concessions could be forthcoming if Iran were genuinely not interested in developing nuclear weapons—and satisfied with merely a theoretical capability to do so—or if the international will to block Iran’s plans were to weaken to the extent that lax safeguards would be deemed acceptable. It seems more likely that Iran will continue to brazen it out, on the assumption that the united international front against it will crumble. “

Iran isn’t bothered
