Well, you will think twice about this when the first Russian or Chinese nuke will hit on US ground... war is never the answer.

I changed the opening post to better reflect the changes the source has made to the original breaking news report.

Today's events are very worrying indeed.

I'm surprised the thread has so few posts.

There is no doubt in my mind Iran is going nuclear to build weapons. There is no reason to have 3500 centrefuges for a 300mw reactor.

A 300 MW reactor is very small too. A coal or natural gas reactor is 1100MW. How is 300 mw really going to benefit iran in the energy front? It will do nothing more than produce plutonium.

It's all BS. If they wanted nuclear for peaceful reasosns they would have offerd to design the fuel based off thorium instead of urnanium so it would not produce plutonium.

Yes. and if there is a false flag attack on US soil before entering Iran we all need to capture as much as possible evidence on that day...

I am glad that Iran has nuclear capacity finally. They have energy needs as well as military needs. I think that it is naieve(sp?) that the leaders of the U.S think that Iran should not be 'allowed' to have nuclear weapons or energy. The U.S is just as dangerous as Iran is if not more, imo. So I congratulate them for achieve-ing nuclear status it will be a great benefit to their people, they have been left in the dark for too long.

It is every countries right to have nuclear power. Not just the countries that the U.S okays imo.

Then why wount Iran compromise and adjust to use nuclear technology that does not produce weapons grade material?

US and Russia are making modificaitons to get rid of plotonuim in rectors. France has also developed technology to do similar. The world is moving away from plutonium production to plotonium destruction. Its not just the US that does not want to see a plotonium producing iran, it's the rest of the world.

Iran is moving in the wrong direction at the wrong time. Big red flag to the world. There are other means to nuclear power that the rest of the world would be more than happy to see them use. The general public does not understand this, so they just call it bullying by the US and Bush.

why would Iran do what everyone else(US, France, Russia etc) wants?
who's to say that they can't make up their own minds. Just because other countries are moving away from plutonium does not mean that they have to. Yes Iran may be a threat to Israel, but the U.S is a threat to Iran.
Now, I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong I'm just adding devil's advocate to this discussion.

question Everything !!!!!!!!

Most of our media outlets are controlled by Rupert Murdoch who is tied in with some heavy duty people.

Bush is obviously a puppett and if you follow the money you will begin to unravel a ball of yarn that leads to a few names and companies that are raking in the dough from all of Bush's decisions to invade other countries, all of which Murdoch is friends with.

These "friends" are the real decision makers in the white house. Don't believe everything you read, hear, and see.

with the comments from the US, things could hit up very quickly indeed.

(thank you to UM_GAZZ for editing the thread)

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned the West that dialogue and friendship - not threats - were the right way to deal with Iran.

Likely to fall on deaf ears.

Who is the deaf one here? Iran must have heard the UN Security Council did they not? Oh wait they did, they just ignored them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but how do you 'warn" friendship? You better be my friend.....or else?

Ok, what exactly from the UN did Iran ignore?
