Israel declared that international talks with Iran on its nuclear programme had failed as it demanded a deadline of "just a few weeks" be handed down to Tehran to scrap its atomic build-up.
It emerged that new intelligence shared with Israel by the West indicated that Iran had moved several steps closer to developing a nuclear warhead that could be fitted on the Shahab-3 missile.
According to an unidentified official, new intelligence obtained by Israel, the United States and other Western states shows that Iran's development of a nuclear weapon is progressing far beyond the scope reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Tehran has made significant progress towards assembling a nuclear warhead for a Shahab-3 missile, which has a range of nearly 1,000 miles, putting the whole of Israel, including the Dimona nuclear reactor in the southern Negev desert, within the Islamic republic's range. Danny Ayalon, Israel's deputy foreign minister, called on the Western powers to declare that the negotiations with Iran, conducted by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, had failed.
He called for Iran to be presented with an ultimatum of a "few weeks" to cease its nuclear programme.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, issued a public warning that Tehran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb. "Every threat against the home front is dwarfed by one threat. Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon," he told ministers at the start of the weekly cabinet

Which will be next week. That is when Iran will have its first working nuke, mounted on a missile, waiting for the command to launch. The others will be ready sometime early next year.
Egyptian armies will proceed from the South, Hezbollah rain thousands of missiles from the North, and Syria rain chem/bio loaded missiles from the West.
The politician have procrastinated just long enough to create the perfect environment for the coming war.
“May we really be suffering some form of cosmically induced insanity?”
Correction: “May we really be suffering some form of self-inflicted induced insanity?”
The cosmos has nothing to do with it. This is the price of hubris.
We have Bill Clinton and Operation Merlin to thank for that.
They don't care what we have.
Besides, we have a CiC who is doing everything he can to eliminate our nuclear weapons. What makes you think he's got the political will to use them even if the US or Israel is nuked first?
Netanyahu knows who he is dealing with and when Barakeh Hussein says: “I have Israel’s back”, the majority of Jews who are awake, know he is a liar. BB knows that Obama would love to see Israel brought to her knees so that he can then finally implemement his (and the State Dept.’s) Muslim vision for the Middle East, then the world - Dar Al Islam!!
Just imagine if we had to live through something like that and a world leader did not care if a neighbor who wanted to destroy us had nukes and wanted us all dead. Shame on any Jews who vote for Obama.
Israel is testing a "social media" defense warning system

Make that at least three (3)-—It would take a lot less horsepower to knock out either Iran’s electric generation capacity and/or it’s water supply to the nuke facilities. I’m not sure how their water system works but they are all vulnerable. But you can’t enrich much of anything, including flour, without large quantities of electricity and water. They couldn’t possibly have enough backup diesel generators to run the nuke plants if the turbo generators go down and out. I like this particular idea since knocking out the power makes the rest of the folks aware there’s a problem with their leadership. It would take them a long time to replace large turbines and in the meantime all the stuff they’ve already enriched would be turning to krap. And this method would avoid the issue of blowing radioactive junk into the airstream which would eventually get to us——remember the Big Fukushima. Some of that stuff made it to my place inside the Cascades on the West Coast.-——almost forgot-—conventional SLCM’s could handle that nicely without risking pilots, etc.
Well, we did take some of the big tubes out of the Ohio and three of her sisters to make room for Seals, Marines, etc. but your point is still correct——those three carrier task forces that are in the gulf area right now have enough punch to melt the whole sand box down to glass.-————Semper Fi
