Iran Awaits Ayatollah's Nod to Build Atomic Bomb

Iran Awaits Ayatollah's Nod to Build Atomic Bomb

www.foxnews.com

Iran has perfected the technology to create and detonate a nuclear warhead and is merely awaiting the word from its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to produce its first bomb, Western intelligence sources have told The Times of London.

The sources said that Iran completed a research programme to create weaponised uranium in the summer of 2003 and that it could feasibly make a bomb within a year of an order from its Supreme Leader.

I guess this is the first time I realized how radical fox news is. I wonder if they alone could start a war?

I doubt that "Western Intelligence Sources" could really infiltrate Iran and find out if they are awaiting word from their "Supreme Leader" to build a nuke bomb or not. Plus, Israel already has nuclear weapons, so how come there is no mention of that?

There has been some recent murmurs on right leaning American think tank websites which point to this being true - they indicated that there was evidence which pointed to Iran abandoning their search in 2004 to being false - however why would they still be researching in 2004 if they completed it in 2003 - ?

Anyway - the reality is that this article CONFIRMS IRAN'S PEACEFUL INTENTIONS - the article and SOURCE implicitly confirm what Iran has claimed all along - that their nuclear programme is for energy. They have the technology, they have the material, they have chosen not to use it....

Bombing Iran now would do nothing but provide impetus to build the weapon so that they are not attacked again.
