This rendering, said to come from inside Iran's Parchin military site and obtained from an official of a country tracking Iran's nuclear activities, shows a chamber of the type needed for nuclear arms-related tests.
Nope, and I don't think anybody does. Israel and Iran threaten each other. Iran's threats, at least that I've heard, are of a different type and frighten me more as they have a religious component that makes them nearly irrational. Israel's seem more to be self-preservation, ready to fight against all comers.
Hey OP, do you know how many times Israel has been threatening to attack Iran?
Not much. I would assume that every nation's military prepares plans to attack every other nation. I'd bet a nickel that the US has contingency plans for invading Canada "just in case." I don't see anything particularly devilish in that. I assume that Iran discusses its attack plans with other nations too.
Did you know that Israel government members come to the USA to discuss new ways to attack Iran? They are actually doing the planning.
What do you have to say about that?

Dear Sek82,
You're right, that's another policy path we could take. I'd forgotten about it, thanks for bringing it up. What do you think the result would be, thinking reasonably long term, say 5-10 years, if there was no American influence in the region?

Where I'm really fuzzy is what would Islam look like with complete dominance of the Middle East, large portions of Africa and Asia, and making strong inroads into Europe? At this point I think I would get nervous about their "rule the world" aspirations. At that point we might have to reconsider our "hands off" approach if we don't want North America to become Islamic. (And I know I don't. I like a cigar and good Scotch from time to time.)

Yeah, but in this particular issue Iran isn’t a problem. They aren’t invading anyone or murdering mass amounts of people. All they are doing is thumbing their nose to the US and Israel, this is not a crime worth being military hit for.

Iran can do jack about Israel.Israel has one of the best civil defence networks to deal with nuclear and biological attacks.
Iran is a state sponsor of international terrorism. They are killing people, and attempting to kill people, all over the planet. They are in proxy wars in Syria and with Lebanon. They sponsor Hamas terrorists who kill and attempt to kill Israeli civilians. They have their fingerprints on terrorist attacks in AFrica as well. They are in league with N. Korea and China and Venezuela and their interference in other countries. They back anti-freedom guerrilla warfare in South and Central America. They are engaged in a cyber war against the USA from out of Central America. They sponsor illegal drug cartels in Mexico crossing into the USA. There have been threads here and news stories showing these things.
No one can possibly say that Iran isn't an international problem or that they are just minding their own business. That simply is not true.
