Buckle your seatbelts, sports fans, here we go.......

Tehran insists it wants enrichment only to generate electricity and that it does not seek nuclear arms

Yeah, THAT's it!
They're gonna "wipe Israel off the map" with electricity!

I can see that they need alternative sources of electricity, what with the price of oil so high.

Oh, wait...

In the category - Things Which Make Your Head Explode™ - who really believes anything a muslim-islamic says, privately or publicly? Their unholy book directs them to lie to Infidels, and then kill them.

Whew! Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
IMHO, sanctions or not, Israel will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Period. Cordially, GE

[zerosix]

Waiting on the French would put at least three generations of the U.S. in the grave before they could define "ultimatium." Russia is a bunch of sneaky bast@@ds, so no help there.

I predict Israel will show some real "Shock and Awe" in Iran nuke sites.

Just in time for the Oscar speeches.

30 days in UN time = never

[hershey]

Thirty days might be too late. In which case, presumably, Israel will do the dirty. I can't see the US letting that happen. We'll do it.

Iran must be stopped not because of their Nuke program for a much more sinister reason. How'd America and Canada function without electricity. An EMP bomb triggered over America within a satellite...is this really possible?

[Jim Noble]

The United States will present a 30-day ultimatum to the UN Security Council this week

Why is the US mad at the UN Security Council?

[fso301]

Once fooled twice smart. Me thinks the WH won't go along with the likes of Russia, France, Germany, Brazil and China delaying things in the UN while they try and remove evidence.

[JasonC]

Pure Russian smoke blowing. Everything in the article is false. Iran hasn't agreed to restrict the scale of anything or to move anything. None of the Europeans have agreed to settle for continued enrichment. The Russians are simply trying to split the EU off from the US, but they have nothing substantive to offer to anyone. Iran wants nukes, everyone knows it, Russia wants them to have nukes, none of the rest of the world does. The one isolated is Russia, not the US.
