If true this probably proves the intent to weaponise their uranium stocks.

Time is getting shorter for Iran, they may be playing the west for fools but they are kidding themselves if they think Israel will allow them to aquire nuclear weapons.

I would be more worried about the US using such weapons,let's face it, the US is the only country that has used them on human beings.

I haven't heard any US leaders calling out for the total annihilation of another nation. If you have heard differently, please share. We have heard the President of Iran openly call for genocide.

I nominate you to go be our peace envoy to Iran then.

if you come back with your head still attached, then you win.

Hope they get it. Should balance things out.

Balance is essential for good pvp.

I wouldn't he would probably do that typical European appeasement crap, and hand half the country over to them in exchange for "peace".

Lol. Fish's in America Zombie mode again!
 

America has frequently threatened to nuke Iran and North Korea not to mention Russia.

And yes total annihilation of Russia was the policy. To wipe them off the map completely. Successive American Presidents have called out for this again and again.

 ....then there's the indigineous indians, the japanese bla bla bla. Enough with your America = holier than thou routines already.

FYI You didn't hear the President of Iran openly call for genocide. You just wanted to, so you put words in his mouth. Deliberately and willfully misintepreted his words because you hate him and wnat other people to hate him to.

I'd be more worried about America using nuclear weapons than anyone else if I was at all worried by America using nuclear weapons, which I'm not. They seem to have stopped trying to prove themselves to the Russians these days and if they nuke Iran or North Korea, it wouldn't frighten me. 

North Korea's still quite a dodgey place to start a war I suppose, but Iran? Who cares.

Really? I guess Jews and their state don't count?

How can this finding be a surprise?  America and frankly the whole world is in love with Obama's image.  They think just the mere fact that he's trying to be nice to Iran will get Iran to stop.  So the whole world is on a "wait and see" attitude because people actually believe in the charm of current administration.

Remember with Obama we're supposed to have Russia's support to put sanctions on Iran?  Hasn't happened.  In fact he has ticked off our eastern european allies in the process, while getting nothing from Russia in return.  Sharp, very sharp.

Remember with Obama, being nice to Iran is supposed to get them to accept a treaty that ships uranium to Russia for processing?  Hasn't happened, in fact the deadline has already been passed.

Remember with Obama, him talking with Iranians is supposed to charm his way through diplomacy and get them to change their mind about wiping Israel off the face of this earth?  Hasn't happened, they're as determined as ever, and still saying they want to wipe Israel off the face of this planet.

Not surprised at the findings at all.  But then I'm not one of the lemmings that actually thought Obama has some super star power that will solve real issues we're facing today.  Because frankly almost a year into office, he hasn't solved any tough issues we're facing. 

Here is what happened with Russia, you threatened them and they escalated instead of backing down. As they always do.

You backed down. You didn't get any concesssions out of them for backing down, because they aren't scared of you.

If you want concessions from Russia it's probably better to offer them something other than military threats. Just a thought.

Realistically you aren't going to get anything from the Russians. Not the Bush way and not the Obama way.  What benefits you wekens them. They aren't going to help you.

I don't see any quote in that article of the President of Iran calling for the genocide of anyone. Or even for "the Jews" to be wiped off the map.

He doesn't say it. Your article doesn't quote him saying it. You made it up.

You have misquoted him, willfully and deliberately because you hate him and you weant other people to hate him to.

The state of israel? Yes, he has called for that to be wiped off the map. Almost everyone in every surrounding country has done the same.

Bush said "all options are on the table" and then broke test bans by restarting a nuclear program.

He started a program to develop tactical nuclear weapons for use against Natanz. Nuclear bunker busters to blow up Irans under mountain nuclear facilites.

The rest of the world heard that, where were you.

There where threats to use nuclear weapons against North Korea by the Bush administration also.

And yes the Russians threaten to nuke people too, as do the British, French, Indian, Chinese, Pakistani and Israeli's.

We all do it.

The difference between Iran using a nuke on it''s enemies and America using a nuke on Iran is this.....

For Iran, using a nuke against Isreal = MAD.  Mutually assured destruction.

For America using a nuke against Iran, it does not.

Which makes America the more likely of the two to use nukes.

And because Isreal's neighbors do the same  that makes it right? That like saying murder is ok because everyone is doing it.

The Austrailians wanted him indicted for trying to incite genocide. Apparently it comes out of his mouth enough that someone besides the Jews and the U.S. thinks he is serious.

apparently this group thinks so too.

I can under stand why European anti-jewish sentiment is growing though so many of your countries have large muslim minorities.

Anti jewish sentiment is growing in many of our countries because of their illegal and brutal occupation Palestine.

You don't have to be muslim to watch the pictures on TV.

US Inspectors said that there isn't anything to worry about at that site, and they went in there fairly recently. I don't remember the finer details, but I will take the US Inspectors word over sensational newspaper headlines out to make a buck any day.

<Mod Edit>

Russia wasn't threatening NATO allies, it was protecting Russian allies.

Eastern Europeans aren't your allies. They are Russia's allies.

Wesern Eutrope are your allies.

P.S. those Ukrainians that are scared of the Russians. (As opposed to those Ukrainains who are Russians) are the same Ukrainians who ran all the death camps and genocides of the Jews in WW2.  Why would you want to defend them against Russia?

You need to work something out mate. Ukraine is none of your business. When you make it your business, you are threatening Russia.

Threatening Russia is a misatke. You should stick to threatening people who can't nuke you back 2 times over. Like Iran and North Korea.

No mate. That program is re-announced everytime they want to turn the diplomatic ratchet up with Iran. they do it again and again.

Likewise, those carrier groups and fleet exercises that turn up off the coast at around the same time....   and those generals giving their advise on how they would do it......

It's a threat .

A real threat. Not just words in the media but actual warships, warplanes and missiles in strike range.

A threat from a country with the largest array of weaponry in the region, a history of enmity, a history of using WMD, that owns more WMD's that you can shake a stick at, a history of repeated invasions and military interventions, a country with massive and open public support for bombing Iran.

America isn't known around the world for it's peaceful behaviour. Make no mistake. When America says it has not ruled out the use of nuclear weapons, it means it and it want's it's enemies to hear.

It's not that simple matey.

Isreali sites were also regularly passed off on by inspectors.

And yet they still bulit the bombs at the very sites the that were inspected most often.

Iran getting the bomb is a very real possibility and no one can  accurately guess precisely how long it could take them.

You don't have to be muslim to watch the pictures on TV.

The U.N. recognized Israel's right to exist as a state in 1948. As soon as you brits left six muslims nations attacked. The muslims deserved what they got. If they had not attacked Israel they would not have lost territory. If the arabs where that broken up over the fate of the Palestinians they would have given them homes long ago. They let the Palestinians rot as refugees to generate sympathy in Europe and anti-jewish sentiment. I can see it is working. Personally I think they have showed a good deal of restraint considering they get hit with rockets every time you turn around. They could have simply kicked them all out of the occupied territories, but they didn't. Until recently Israel was the only democracy in the middle-east. You'd think other democracies would be supportive of that.

They took a barren desert and turned it into a very productive high standard of living nation. With almost more GDP than their two largest neighbors who have a populations and land many times the size.

42 Israel 202,101

49 Egypt 162,617

68 Syria 54,803

Per Capita GDP really shows the difference

29 Israel 28,409

111 Syria 2,768

117 Egypt 2,162

It is pretty obvoius who is making better use of the land. Why is Europe so dead set against a democracy? They have even given back 90% of territories conquered. How much more reasonable can you get? If they are as evil as you purport them to be why haven't they used their nukes on the muslims?

Did you even read the article linked before making such a blind comment?  Just to help you out, the article simply stated that it has learned UN nuclear watchdogs want answers from Iran about evidence that Iran has tested advanced nuclear warhead.  It's a crucial step in building nuclear weapons.

This isn't some "sensational newspaper headlines", this sensational newspaper is simply reporting what it has learned from IAEA.
