If necessary, they will. Of course Syria had an unplanned OSHA accident at their planned site that probably didn't use nuclear weapons.

The Google image says 3rd Sept 2006, before the main thing was built?
It's hard for me to believe that Iran actually thought they'd fool anyone with these hoaxes. Instead I think it provides those who don't want to believe Iran is much of a threat with some comfort. And of course those are the people Iran wants to continue to win elections in the US.
This has always been the problem. Iran may have several sites like this.
As a result we really don’t even know if they don’t have one or several bombs ready to go right now.
Very difficult being in a decision making role with this.
If the Syrian reactor was/is there (Google Earth) then this area should have some significant construction (at least). So far there is nothing there.
Apparently the Arabs in this area of a grip of grievances against the Persian authorities. And the Sat imagery is not lining up. Until I hear an Israeli or DoD source confirm, I dont believe the story.
You're giving your enemy too much credit.
Perhaps but underestimating them, I think, is much more dangerous.
This is a real problem for Israel. They don't have enough planes to cover all the possible sites in a country as big as Iran. That's why I think we're going to clean up this mess for them. We'll probably have a hard time covering all the sites that need to be "cleaned up".
“Dangit, try again:”
I thought you were trying to say, “the headline should be blank because there should be nothing there.”
I appreciate the self-evident wisdom...but a lazy attempt at research would immediately show that Iranians easily believe their own BS.
Trying to read anything deeper than a cup of coffee into their actions (vis-a-vis doctored photos) displays a ‘lack’ of competent analysis.
When someone shows you who they are....believe them.
“Apparently the Arabs in this area of a grip of grievances against the Persian authorities”
You’re correct. The Ahvazi arabs have been persecuted and are referred to as a separatist group.
I hesitated to post this article wondering if it was just propaganda for the Ahvazis. Unlike some people here, I don’t like to post articles with little evidence or proven reliable sources to back it up. But it was being picked up by a number of websites, so I went ahead. Arab Times is a fairly reputable publication, but there is bias there for these arabs, too. (not that we don’t get bias from the LA Times everyday.)
Yeah, I understand. We’ll see where it goes.
I think his nickname should reflect the reason he is so mad all the time- When he drops his pants he says “Ahmyteenywad”
OK, so your point is they are idiots...nothing to see here, move along? Or is your point that the Iranians did something stupid that was JUST aimed at the Iranian people? Or... what is your point?
The GPS coordinates aren’t in the story. Where’d you get those?
Remember we "sold" Israel 500 bunker Busters and several refueling planes in 2003ish. Looks like they will probably use them. Hopefully....
Have we considered the possibilty that this is a decoy?
1. It is built EXTREMELY close to Persian Gulf and the Southeastern Iraqi border.
2. It is located in a very civilian populated area.
The IRGC government wants this place to be attacked. Why else would they put it there?
Add it to the target list... just in case.
Used to think the same thing. Unfortunately, Isreali leadership has lost its nerve. The world will do nothing but appease the nut job till they pop a nuke, then blame us.
If necessary, they will. Of course Syria had an unplanned OSHA accident at their planned site that probably didn't use nuclear weapons.
