Look at Iraq, They gave the Un the finger for 12 years... Don piss them off they might write another resolution....

Answer 2

Hi Black Sabbath
This may well surprise you. The nation of Iran is in Bible prophecy. The nation of Iran is very soon to become the leader of that part of the world. Yes they will take over Iraq, Egypt, ect. Yes indeed, by taking out Saddam, the
U.S. A. has made it easy for Iran to take over Iraq, and others directly after we leave there. It's in the book. God said it will happen. It will occur very soon. Take note, the EU is now debating with Iran. The United States is not. The things that EU and Iran, plus Russia and China come to an agreement on, will be the way it is, not what the U.S.A. wants.

Also take note: The nation of Germany is becoming very strong again through the EU. I'm certain that it will be a great surprise to you. The United States and Germany are also in Bible prophecy. Surprise, surprise, the German's plus nine other nation of the EU are comming here and take us out.
Just prior to that 1/3 of us will die from starvation and diseases. All this is to happen within the next 6 to 10 years. It's in the Book. For those that were not only listening but were paying attention Venezuela President Hugo Chavez told us that Iran already has atomic weapons. Where would they have gotten them you ask? Can you say Russia and China??? Also there are Nation from the former U.S.S.R. that love to sell such things.
Have a great day.

Answer 3

You mean how long will Iran be able ward off the lies of the Israelis and Americans and defend their country against an Imperialist attack?

Iran's 'crime' is the miss-fortune to have substantial oil fields, that are coverted by Bush and his friends, beneath their feet.

Iran in all likelihood do not have a nuclear bomb but now that America is planning to attack it they will do everything they can to defend themselves - wouldn’t you?

The fact is that Iran is entitled to have Nuclear power stations and is completely within the International guidelines that control Nuclear Energy. Another fact is that Nuclear power is the energy of the future - So why on earth should Iran not have it?

The only reason you are frightened of Iran and believe them to be a threat is because your government tells you what to think and you are too dumb to see beyond their lies. Your government has a foreign policy agenda looking for an excuse - if they can't find a real reason they make one up or provoke an excuse.

One of the primary reasons the Middle East is being attacked is because they tried to price their oil in Euros rather than USD. When that happens the scam of the USD as the paper and Ink reserve currency it is exposed and the dollar gets trashed... when that happens its lights out for the USA as a superpower.

Answer 4

Everyone knows Bush’s grand-plan for the Middle East, so why are the IAEA and Security Council pretending that the administration is genuinely interested in Iran’s fictitious nuclear weapons program?

Haven’t they seen this charade before?

It’s impossible that the main players don’t understand Bush’s real intentions or know that the nuclear issue is simply a pretext for war. Bush has telegraphed his belligerence at every opportunity even going so far as to announce to the Iranian people that his hostility is not directed at them, but at their government.

No one in the Middle East is blind to America’s machinations. The landscape is loaded with clients, toadies, and venal monarchs all acting on Washington’s behalf. If Bush was serious about fighting terrorism he’d focus his attention on Riyadh not Tehran. And, if the IAEA was serious about nuclear proliferation, they’d be challenging the Bush administration and Israel.

Answer 5

So eager to drop the bomb aren't you? So eager to kill thousands upon thousands of innocent people. You sit there, all worked up about something other then America's safety, hiding behind your PC monitor, with utter disregard for humanity, thus spilling your hate beans on the table for us all to see, convincing us all that fighting against evil individuals like yourself is well worth the effort.

Answer 6

The UN knows they are lying but with China and Russia having to agree to do something, nothing will ever be done, It is only a game for show.

Answer 7

The U.N. is as worthless as the steam wafting from a free lunch.

Answer 8

FOrever, just look at Saddam, he screwed with them for 12 years and they didn't have a pair to call him on it.

"Oh no another resolution"

What a joke.

Answer 9

That is a good question. How long will Iran be able to stall?

On September 9-10, Ali Larijani, Iran's negotiator met with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana in Vienna to discuss incentives for Iran to discontinue enrichment of uranium. Aliasghar Soltanieh, Iranian ambassador to the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency who accompanied Larijani during part of his visit, denied that a suspension was discussed with Solana. "Iran has openly said that there is no legal and technical basis for such a demand (to suspend enrichment)," he told Iranian state television in an interview aired from Vienna.
On September 10, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi stressed, "The era of suspension (of uranium enrichment) is over."
"The question of the suspension (of uranium enrichment) is a thing of the past. Iran will not take a step back."

The UNSC will meet on September 11 to begin drafting its response to Iran's refusal to stop enriching uranium by August 31 in compliance UNSC Resolution 1696 and the requirements of the IAEA. The final draft of sanctions for Iran violating Resolution 1696, will be presented before the general assembly next week which may adopt appropriate measures under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.

Russia and China have resisted U.S. pressure for fast action on sanctions even though they agree to them as a lever. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, whose country is selling Iran hundred of millions of dollars in nuclear materials said, "We cannot support ultimatums that lead everyone to a dead end." Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, whose country imports almost 12 percent of its oil from Iran said, "The parties involved should be cautious about moving toward sanctions". And French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy last week appeared to suggest that the demand to stop enrichment before any talks on Iran's nuclear program begin was negotiable.

Mohammad Nabi Rudaki stated that 164 centrifuge sets are now enriching uranium up to 4.5 percent grade....to provide our industrial and power plant needs in nuclear fuel, we will soon embark on enriching uranium to the grade of 9 percent in 3000 centrifuge sets.

On August 22 Ali Larijani, hand delivered Iran's 21-page response to UNSC 1696 the package of incentives to dissuage Iran from uranium enrichment. Iran's top nuclear negotiator said that Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations" over its disputed nuclear program but did not say that it was willing to suspend uranium enrichment — the West's key demand. This was because the West had offered many economic incentives.

On August 19, Iran launched a large-scale area, sea and ground exercise he maneuver, the Blow of Zolfaghar (the sword used by Imam Ali), which involved 12 divisions, army Chinook helicopters, unmanned planes, parachutists, electronic war units and special forces. Iran's state-run television reported that the new anti-aircraft system was tested "to make Iranian air space unsafe for our enemies."

On Sunday, August 20, in the Kashan desert about 250 kilometers southeast of the capital of Tehran, Iran tested the Saegheh missile which has a range of between 80 to 250 kilometers. Saegheh means lightning in Farsi. (The language of Iran is not Arabic and Iranians are not Arabs.)
Iran's arsenal also contains the Shahab-3 missile, which means "shooting star" in Farsi, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can reach Israel and US forces in the Middle East.

Iran's military test-fired a series of missiles during large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf in March and April, including a missile it claimed was not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.

On August 23, 2006 an article about Iran's reply to the incentives proposal, that was posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry-affiliated website , implied that Iran's nuclear technology had already reached the point of no return: "...

The following are excerpts from the Al-Borz report:

"It is expected that the first anniversary of the forming of the ninth government will be the date of the Ahmadinejad government's 'nuclear birth.'

"... Together with [the celebration of] the anniversary of the forming of the ninth cabinet, the president of the country [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] will hold his third press conference... where he will answer questions from journalists from Iran and from abroad.

"In addition to detailing the activities of the government at the end of [its first] year, the head of the government [i.e. Ahmadinejad] will officially present Iran's positions on: economic and cultural matters, the nuclear dossier, the activities of nuclear research centers, and developments in the region."

If what Iran wanted was nuclear power, Iran could have opted for a "light water" nuclear power plant instead of the "heavy water" nuclear power plant at Arak. Also, it has been persistent to deter IAEA inspectors on certain properties which had been agreed to under the NPT (nuclear non-proliferation treaty.)

Ali Soltanieh, Iran's permanent representative to the IAEA, denied that Iran had refused UN inspectors' access to its underground nuclear facilities at Natanz in central Iran. Iran needs to enrich uranium as a peaceful, alternative energy source and has the right to do so under the NPT, according to Iranian officials. They have told the IAEA that the traces of enriched uranium came from equipment purchased from another country, which was already contaminated.

Iran does not allow for remote monitoring of the PFEP (Pilot Feul Enrichment Plant). Or monitoring of the PHRC (Physics Research Center). Or monitoring of the P-1 and P-2 centrifuges.

August 31 was the deadline given to Iran by the UNSC. The report from the Director General of the IAEA established that Iran has not ceased full and sustained suspension of all uranium enrichment and research activities. Iran avers that it will not be pressured.

Iran Emrooz (Iran Today) quoted Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer Kharrazi, secretary-general of Iranian Hezbollah, as saying in a February 14, 2005, speech, "We are able to produce atomic bombs and we will do that. We shouldn't be afraid of anyone. The U.S. is not more than a barking dog."
>>>
On May 29, 2005, Hojjat ol-Islam Gholam Reza Hasani, the Supreme Leader's personal representative to the province of West Azerbaijan, declared possession of nuclear weapons to be one of Iran's top goals. "An atom bomb . . . must be produced as well," he said."That is because the Qur'an has told Muslims to 'get strong and amass all the forces at your disposal to be strong.'"
>>>
As a confidant of the Supreme Leader, Hasani provides a window into his thinking. In February 2006, Rooz (Day), an Iranian website close to the Islamic Republic's reformist camp, quoted Mohsen Gharavian, a Qom theologian close to Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, one of the Islamic Republic's staunchest ideologues, as saying it was only "natural" for the Islamic Republic to possess nuclear weapons.

Here is a list of Iran's key nuclear sites . If you go to the website you can see a map and satellite photos. It is interesting that Iran's nuclear technology matches application for weapon use and does not match power applications.

BUSHEHR - Nuclear power station
Iran's nuclear programme began in 1974 with plans to build a nuclear power station at Bushehr with German assistance. The project was abandoned because of the Islamic revolution five years later, but revived in 1992 when Tehran signed an agreement with Russia to resume work at the site. There are two pressurised water reactors at the site - one reportedly near completion.

>>
ISFAHAN - Uranium conversion plant
Iran is building a plant here to convert uranium ore into three forms:
** Hexafluoride gas - used in gas centrifuges
** Uranium oxide - used to fuel reactors, albeit not the type Iran is constructing
** Metal - often used in the cores of nuclear bombs.

The IAEA is concerned about the metal's use, as Iran's reactors do not require it as fuel.

NATANZ - Uranium enrichment plant
Iran suspended work on an uranium enrichment plant at Natanz in 2003 - but has recently reopened the facility. In 2003, a leaked International Atomic Energy Agency report said that weapons-grade uranium had been found in samples taken from the site, although Iran blamed contaminated imported equipment, and an independent report later confirmed this.
According to some estimates, when complete, Natanz could house some 50,000 advanced gas centrifuges, which would produce enough weapons-grade uranium to produce more than 20 weapons per year. Other estimates suggest the plant will have a total of 5,000 centrifuges when initial stages of the project are completed. With that number, Iran would be able to produce sufficient enriched uranium to make a small number of nuclear weapons each year.

>>
ARAK - Heavy water plant
The apparent existence of a heavy water facility near the town of Arak first emerged with the publication of satellite images by the US-based Institute for Science and International Security in December 2002. Heavy water is used to moderate the nuclear fission chain reaction either in a certain type of reactor - albeit not the type that Iran is currently building - or produce plutonium for use in a nuclear bomb.

U.S. Central Command is updating a target list for Iran. Retired Gen. McInerney advocates using B-2 stealth bombers, cruise missiles and jet fighters to conduct a one- or two-day bombing campaign to take out Iran's air defenses, military facilities and about 40 nuclear targets, which includes the Russian-built reactor and an enrichment plant at Bushehr. Israel has drafted plans for air strikes using long-range versions of the F-15 and F-16 fighters.

Divine Strake - Iran delenda est.
