Iran's nuclear activity under scrutiny as evidence of weapons threat emerges

Atomic agency report uncovers Iranian nuclear experiments experts claim could only be used for development of warhead

A report by the UN's nuclear watchdog due to be circulated around the world next week will provide fresh evidence of a possible Iranian nuclear weapons programme, bringing the Middle East a step closer to a devastating new conflict, say diplomats.

The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the latest of a series of quarterly bulletins on Iran's activities, but this one will contain an unprecedented level of detail on research and experiments carried out in Iran in recent years, which western officials allege could only be for the design and development of a nuclear warhead. "This will be a game-changer in the Iranian nuclear dossier," a western official predicted. "It is going to be hard for even Moscow or Beijing to downplay its significance."

The key passage of the "safeguards report" will be a summary of all the evidence collected over the years by UN weapons inspectors, including a substantial amount of hitherto unpublished data pointing to work in the past seven years.

Surely, Jeff, you don't expect the Øbamanation... to do anything to help Israel against any Muslim country?

Jeff, tell Bender to stop... calling me 'Shirley!'

I don't expect he will...unless he thinks it could be used to salvage his election hopes.

If not, then hopefully in 2013 we will have someone in the WH who will face the Mullahs down directly.

From the sound of it, there's nothing new in this report the inspectors haven't known about for some time.

Looks like he found some friendlies at the UN to help him with a little dog-wagging.

But wait, but wait--we were ASSURED by the 2007 NIE Iran wasn't pursuing nuclear weapons.

Beware the 2004 CFR paper by Brzezinski-Gates "Iran: Time for a New Approach" telegraphed a cozy-up to the Islamic concentration camp.

And all this "Arab Spring" has been to remove secular regimes to give Iran control.

And Obama wouldn't interfere to save the Iranian people--and he HATES Israel--

Why would he lift a manicured metro-closet finger to offend the nuvo-hitler Ahmadinejad?

Herman Cain worked on missile ballistics for the U.S. Navy, knows what Aegis is all about.

The Standard Missile is proven.

Knocking down the global price per barrel to seventy bucks would destabilize Iran and we win without firing a shot.

Send the vaunted CIA cowboys back to the Heart of Darkness.

Otherwise Iraq will be a castle in the sand and a hellish waste of blood and treasure.

While Clinton "Blew Monica off the Front Page" per Leno, Obama won't blow that way.

He'll send more troops to fight Christians in Uganda.
