The US has asked Moscow to warn Iran that it has one last chance to resolve the nuclear crisis peacefully or face an attack in the coming months, Russian diplomatic sources told the Kommersant daily.
The Russian newspaper quoted one diplomat as saying that the threat was voiced by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a meeting with her Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in New York on Monday.

Don' take this the wrong way but Iran is stubburn. You really think they are going to give up their "peaceful" nuclear bases? I sure as hell don't. Iran has no reason to, and there has been ZERO proof that they are making nuclear weapons. The West need UNTANGIBLE proof of a nuclear weapon before a strike, otherwise it'll be Iraq all over again.

Doesn't a nuclear power plant require an enrichment program? "The West" is basically trying to tell them not only can they not have nuclear weapons, they aren't even allowed to have nuclear power. That to me is absurd. When they have proof of their nuclear bomb program give me a buzz. Until then this whole commotion is absolutely unfounded.

For the umpteenth billionth time, the West has stated time and again Iran is NOT building nuclear weapons. What the West HAS been saying revolves around Iran's enrichment program and their ability to produce them on short notice.

It has always been about verification of the programs Iran has in place.
To the other poster - I just dont get it..
You guy's complain the US uses military force to often. Obama has done anything but use the military option, and now thats classified as an excuse to rush to war?
REUTERS - Iran is now able to enrich uranium to more than 80 percent purity, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday, coming close to levels experts say would be needed for a nuclear bomb.
He told a huge flag-waving crowd on the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution that Iran does not want to produce a nuclear bomb but if it ever did, it would do so publicly, a response to Western concerns that Iran is seeking to develop a nuclear weapons capability in secret.

This is going to be a disaster. I feel sorry for the thousands of US service men and women who have to sacrifice and die just because of this political madness from both sides.
Is a war with Iran the will of the American people or the will of a few elected?

Neither IMO, it's the will of Israel.

It will start out with air and missile strikes but it will go further than that. Iran will retaliate against US bases and other locations in the region. This is not going to be a one way missile exchange.

Let them become a nuclear power. We could always end the war in the middle east with one bomb on MECA.
