Speaking at celebrations marking the 33rd anniversary of the Iranian Revolution at the weekend, where he was joined by Hamas leader Ismail Haniya, the Iranian president told a rally of thousands in Tehran's Azadi Square: "In the coming days the world will witness Iran's announcement of its very important and very major nuclear achievements.
"All countries have put pressure on us for not obtaining nuclear know-how, but all these pressures are futile. We not only now have the nuclear know-how but also are capable of providing for our [nuclear] needs by our own local experts."
The announcement sparked anxious speculation in Israel, where the military is calling for a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear production facilities before the work moves into bombproof underground bunkers.

Pray for Israel!!!
There are rumors that Iran has made progress on a new kind of uranium enrichment using a gas permeable membrane.
The last nuke scientist that was degraded was supposedly the author of a recently published paper on that subject and heading up the effort.
Just rumors for now, it would be like the Iranians to bray like a pack of mules whenever they can show the world their technical advancements.
Oops, I rumored too soon, just found out what Achmadi-nejad is announcing:
The formerly secret Fordo enrichment facility will become fully operational over the next few days.
They will be able to enrich to weapons grade, without limitation.
There have been a lot of speculation about bunker-buster bombs, etc. The Iranians believe this site is so hardened and self-contained that they are invulnerable and able to build nukes here.
